The shows were taking place outside socially distancing. I dont think enough fans knew about it. I hope they try again with more advertising. I really miss it.

A very nice venue. All facilities are clean, the main room is well decorated, and it has raised levels at the middle and back. My only complaint is that it would be nice if the stage was higher so that shorter people can see on the main floor.

Ill start with the obvious, that The Fillmore is a beautiful venue. The VIP employees were very welcoming and very helpful in upgrading our seating. The bartender was very attentive and put our food order in quick. Btw, the fried pickles are amazing. All my dates and my drinks were made perfect every time. All around a great experience at a nice venue, and a courteous staff. 12/10 will definitely be back.

Nice setup. Great view, great show. Cleanest mens restroom Ive seen at a concert venue.Second great show at the Fillmore, last night. It was cold outside, but too warm inside...Lots of really warm bodies.

Pretty nice place. Holds a lot of people and it was full last time we went. Great show. Plenty of security. You get out of line, you will be escorted out. If your going to drink, bring a lot of money. 24 oz can beer $11. Had a good time tho. We will be back.

I love the Fillmore because its the perfect size. Nice bars, never a wait in the restroom, and we always end up getting up close and personal with performers! Side stage is the place to be!!!

That was my first time there. It was beautiful! Positive energy in the air! I love the fact that we could stand during the show instead of sitting. Love that close up with the artists. Great vibe and crowd. Definitely will be going back there again!

Its a great venue for music. Sound is always top notch. Easy parking. Easy in and out. Freaky black magic beer serving devices. Beer is way too expensive.

My favorite concert venue Ive been to. Seating only for VIP areas which also included table service. Its relatively small but getting around was easy. Plenty of bar service so no ridiculous lines..Well organized and staffed. Clean. Looking forward to coming back!

The Fillmore is a decent venue. Their logistics teams arent well balanced...i.e. full-body pat downs at the gates, large no standing areas on the floor, no keeping the lids for $5 bottles of water, $100+ for seats (after ticket price) etc... The shows I have seen there have been excellent, but the Fillmore is not my favorite venue.

Absolutely amazing place. I love coming here to see any bands. The people that run it are always polite and the bartenders make great drinks. Definitely worth my drive I have to get there. The place just flows, its got a great atmosphere. Ive been to multiple concerts ranging from Jessie McCartney to IceNineKills.

The venue was great, security upon entry was nice, and the sound quality was incredible. I wasnt a fan of the Customer Service Staff they were a little rude. Otherwise great place.

Small live venue; well organized and managed. Expensive drinks. We saw Bastille & it was fantastic. My new favorite place for concerts... Cant wait to see another. ️

Awesome small venue. I recommend pre-gaming before as the alcohol is quite expensive. They have a lot of staff which help the shows run smoothly.

The Fillmore venue is great. The main section is huge and its tiered. That way, you can see over the people in front of you if youre standing in the back.Parking was easy and the line to get in moved super fast.We ended up getting VIP passes, but for this particular venue I dont feel as though purchasing them is worth the extra money. There are 2 types of VIP tickets- 1 is also standing room only and the other has seats. Both of those are located ground floor to the left of the stage. For the extra money, youre not getting a better view or anything aside from private bathrooms. That feature is nice, but not $50 extra per person nice. Save the extra cash for merch, and get there early to stand in front of the stage for the best view in the house.We came here for Angels and airwaves- the show was awesome!

Review №17

Terrible experience overall and one of the worst venues Ive seen to date. First off the sound quality is awful, where they fill the room so full you can hardly hear the band. Its so low you can talk to the person beside you with ease. Second they overall the tickets, what I mean is they fill the place to a level you cannot hardly walk in the venue. And last the line for the bathroom is absurd as you will see in my photos. Overall terrible experience and I would not recommend.

Went and saw Skillet! Really loved the fact that it was a smaller venue. Made the experience more personal. Lots of parking is available near and around The Fillmore. Staff was nice and engaging. Had a great time.

My sister and I went to the Meet and Greet and Ella Mai concert. We really enjoyed ourselves. The venue was nice. Security made us feel comfortable. The show was sold out.

Review №20

Amazing place. Great size for a smaller venue with lots of places to get drinks and plenty of space. Very good sound inside and the security to get inside was a little slow but efficient. I want aware of this beforehand, but I love how the farther back you go in the crowd the higher the floor becomes which makes viewing easy from any place considering everything is GA only besides the VIP areas. A tip as well: if youre a little shorter and worry about getting a good spot, if there is already a large amount of people up against the stage, try being one of the first to the second level of the floor and try to get up against the railing for the VIP area/mixing boards. You can still get a great view of all the action while being just a little farther back

I love this venue and the location. Its easy to find in the Charlotte area, and to be Charlotte is pretty difficult to drive through if you live out of town. Theres plenty of parking here and its a nice sized, yet intimate venue. If youve never been here, its kind of House of Blues-ish in size and general vibe (if youve ever been to a House of Blues), to give you an overall idea. They have a lot of great musicians who perform here. Id come here more often if I didnt live on the coast, which is a pretty far drive from there. I totally recommend this venue to see a concert.

A wonderful space for a concert. Not too big and intimate enough for a great concert experience. The VIP section is a bit odd, but worth the extra cost. We saw Erasure here and had an amazing experience in the space.

Review №25

Great smaller venue! Drinks were great, and service was really pleasant!Be advised, its standing room only and it gets PACKED. It was extremely challenging to get back to the middle during the show.VIP are the only ones allowed to have tables, but its worth it as you get your own bar service and private restrooms.We did Crash the Barricade, and while it was awesome to get in to stand near the stage the food served left much to be desired.

Review №26

I had a great time at the event I attended!! Every thing was well organized... Security was out and about... The lighting was good... and the TVs they have placed throughout the venue are high quality ( so those of us in the back can see). I didnt use the restroom, but I was told by a friend that they are surprisingly clean.My only bit of criticism is this: the venue management team, tach team, audio/visual department, or whomever should make sure the equipment functions properly and/or ensures the artist(s) thats performing understand how to use it before a show begins...

Review №27

Great local venue for live music. Plenty of parking, entering is quick enough, plenty of bartenders, medical staff on stand by, and it was easy to exit. Only issue was the main spot light wasnt working, the headliner made do but it definitely took away from the show.

Awesome venue. Friendly staff and you can clearly see the stage from almost anywhere. Once the sound engineer got everything dialed in, the audio was loud and clearer than other places Ive been to. Cant wait to go back again.

Review №29

Overall a solid venue. There are a few spots with awful views so thats a downer. Also I think the staff could do a better job having a few more walkable areas to get from one side to another. But overall they book solid acts and its a fun place to go.

Review №32

This is a great venue and they have amazing artists performing on a regular basis. The restrooms are decently clean and there are plenty of stalls. I’ve never had to wait in line for the restroom. However, the price of food and drinks are high. There’s nowhere to sit unless you pay VIP. There is standing room only for GA tickets. It’s also hard to get to the restrooms when there’s the crowd. You have to go around too the back and most of the time, you can’t cut through the crowd that’s in front of the stage. There are two bars for GA tickets to the left of the entrance. The sound is loud and great but you can usually get away from the noise and people if you want by going to towards the left of the entrance near the second bar. This is where the red curtain is which is the area farthest from the stage.

Review №35

Great venue, super clean, very close to stage. However, if you want a drink, youd better win the lottery. 2 pints was $21. I understand they make their money through concessions but jeez. Id have drank more and spent more if they werent so expensive. Angels and Airwaves was great though.

Review №36

My husband and I as well as other friends have been to the Fillmore in Charlotte probably 10 times in the last three years. All for alternative rock concerts. Small venue great for a more intimate setting with easy access to drinks. Good sized bathrooms help with lines.Security at the entrance is quick and easy (love that they wand and search everyone for safety). Security in the venue does a good job of keeping crazy people under control to help other people’s experience.Get there early for a place to stand because it’s very crowded for most shows. If you get stuck behind a pole, you’ll definitely have an obstructed view of the stage.

Review №37

I made a 12+ hour car trip from New York just to see a concert here.. This is what I have to say.. Fantastic concert venue. Staff is pleasant and very help. Would highly recommend seeing a show here. Definitely would come here again to see another show.

Review №38

A real hit and miss venue, decent sized place and the acts here are usually good and popular but the staff is kinda pushy and a little irritating unlike other venues like cats cradle or the blind tiger because the second the show is over they push everyone out. It feels very corporate which also sucks because its basically a live nation venue so say for example if a show is advertised at 25 dollars you get 11 in service fees(whatever that means) and now parking is TEN DOLLARS (it used to be free)which makes your show 46 dollars so plan on adding 20 extra dollars per ticket for your shows here, if you expect a nice intimate feeling show go to a different venue.

An
Review №39

Obviously pulling in top bands. But the floor setup is bad. More interested in selling beer than audience participation. Small standing room area before it steps up a few levels. And you will respect the line on the floor, people are paid good money to make sure of it.

Review №40

Never see a big artist here the tickets are overpriced for what you get. The stage is too low for the crowd on the floor. For smaller artists I’m sure it’s fine but there were way too many people in there for a well known artist. And the security guards I understand have to do their jobs but they were being ridiculous.

Review №42

The show was awesome! The crowds were polite (as always with metal crowds!) and the staff helpful. I just wish they hadnt curtained off a large part of the venue and had more than the 2 bars opened (plus the one vip bar) because it made for some crowded pathways to get around.

Review №43

The Fillmore is a great venue that can hold maybe several hundred people. Went to an Earl Sweatshirt concert and the sound quality was top notch. The closer you are to the speakers to more youll feel the bass, but the further away you are, the clear the vocals from the artists will be.

Review №45

The purple madness at the Fillmore was awesome! The atmosphere was very nice and all was well. The first time I went to the venue, I got a drink and was very very disappointed! The shot was measured by the bottom of the plastic cup it was put in, literally. When the bottom of the cup was covered with alcohol, the bartender quit pouring.

I have been to both the Charlotte Fillmore and the Fillmore Underground and both are excellent venues with plenty of barspace, space for bands to sell their merchandise. They reasonable security policies and great management that cares about the safety and well-being of their guests. I live about 2 hours away, but it has always been worth the drive to come see bands here. 10/10 WILL go again.

Review №51

The facility was nice, and the rest rooms were clean. I was there for a concert. The staff was helpful and reasonably pleasant. The greatest comment I have is about the food that was sold at the concert that I went to. They had four chicken wings for $8 which is absolutely ridiculous. They end up charging $8 for just a can of beer and $5 for juice. To be honest this location makes the most off of those concessions. I would definitely eat before I went to a show

Review №53

The Fillmore was great. They have a great setup although the pricing for getting a seat is a little ridiculous considering how many people are there. I mean they are looking to make a killing. You have to pay for the ticket, then the price for the seats per person,and then the food. I mean a bottle of water is $4.00 so I could imagine how food actually is. I guess that is the only area I have an issue. The place is always clean and no matter how big an event is the staff always has their plan and executes it well to get everyone in.

I went to an art event In hope of finding some inspiration. I was not expecting to meet a living genius. I stood as he painted a new piece. He commanded the mix medium in a beautifully self taught method. There was a majestic presence within his soul. He was speaking through art and speaking a completely unknown language. Many people passed him by. I will mention his name after I purchase more of his art. AMAZING.

Been here many times before, but never have felt more like a sardine than I did for the Greensky Bluegrass show. Outstanding lighting and acoustics, but I wish theyd not over sell general admission and make it a sea of bumper cars. And bring your life savings, beers were $9 and mixed drinks were $10.

The Fillmore is a great open venue for live music. They have very limited seating areas, which are mostly reserved for people with a handicap or pregnant women. I love that there are multiple bar options inside and that they are surrounded by cool bars, restaurants and clubs in the Music Factory. Worth catching a show there whenever possible.

This is a nice venue as far as the scenery goes but the security is absolutely terrible and extremely rude for no reason. They also have an issue with everything. I have been here twice and will not attend another show in the future.This is a small location that oversells tickets and cannot handle the volume of people it has attending. Very disappointing.

Its OK for a concert, but standing and jockeying for a space to see the band gets old. People fart, people push, the tall ones are always in the front. And it gets hot with all those bodies pushing forward. But they have some good bands.

Went to a show on Halloween and have to say this is the cleanest venue I’ve ever been to. I’m used to the ladies bathrooms being a complete disaster by the end of the night but that wasn’t the case here. Spilled drinks and were mopped up promptly, trash cans were emptied throughout the night and abandoned beverage containers were picked up almost immediately. Bonus that there was never more than a two person wait at the bar.

I love that security doesnt come and tell you to move out the way (especially if youre not doing anything wrong). They are on point with checking IDs, getting through bag search, and checking in.The bartenders are usually friendly and the ladies who works in the bathroom are wonderful at keeping it clean bc we all know some people arent the most cleanest when it comes to using the bathrooms.My last event here was San Holo, but I will be back soon!

My wifes company, CSM Productions, had their holiday Dog & Pony Awards there. It was nicely decorated, the food was good, and the staff were helpful and polite. The drinks are OVERLY PRICED. Like, expensive doesnt even begin to explain how ridiculous the drink prices are. $12 for a beer? Why?

This is a Live Nation venue - large capacity - located inside a mall-type complex with restaurants and bars. They only book national touring acts. has air conditioning. relatively clean. $4 for a bottle of water. Frankly, it lacks a soul, but sometimes its the only way to see some of your favorite bands ...

I loved going to see Dylan Scott for such a great price. I just feel like it got a little too crowded. It would be better if they set up a barrier around the floor to created a designated walking path. More than once someone stepped on my toes or had to get EXTREMELY close to me to be able to walk through the crowd.

Review №90

Ive been here for a few concerts && the crowds have always been chill/relaxed/happy place oriented. From less than standing room available to pretty small shows, Ive been impressed with the staffs professionalism. Please dont be mistaken, the security has been top flight && pretty out of the scene for the most part. You hardly see them interacting unless theyre heeding off something from beginning. Ive been comfortable enough to take my younger teen there && feel super happy with the experiences. Would definitely recommend due to the mixed crowds && chill atmosphere!!

Review №98

Although the Fillmore is a great venue, I would not again chose to pay for the Crash the Barricade option. Its advertised as a buffet dinner in the venue and you get to enter 2 hours before the show. However the meal was not in the main venue, we were kept in a small side room and could not leave until early entry 1 hour before the show. The meal was pathetic. It was advertised as including vegetarian options but that meant only salad and baked beans for us. Otherwise only hamburgers and hot dogs, very lame. Also we were not allowed to enter the venue until after the early entry crowd. So it was definitely not worth it. If you want to enter early just skip the meal, have a good dinner elsewhere, choose the cheaper early entry option.

Review №99

This is one of Charlottes major music venues. Its the biggest indoor venue other than the arena.Ive previously come here for many concerts. Its q pretty good venue. The tiered standing area is nice to make it easier to see if youre not in the front.The other cool thing is that theres a lot of non-music events hosted here as well. Most recently I was here for the Charlotte BOB awards party. It was a great location for that too.Unfortunately, since Avid Exchange took over the music favorite, you now have to pay for parking. Its $5.If youre a music fan and concert goer, youre bound to wind up here.
