22 Must-See Fall Concerts Across Northern Virginia

With big names like The Eagles and Harry Styles coming to town this fall, you won’t want to miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime performance.

By Leanne Stahulak September 2, 2021

Whether you love jamming out to boy bands or classic rock, this fall is full of great shows for all genres of music. And, since Northern Virginia is full of concert venues, many are right in our backyard. If you’re looking to catch your first post-COVID concert, consider getting tickets for these solo artists, bands, and Grammy winners.

Capital One Arena

8/31 & 9/1 Take it easy with this classic 1970s rock band’s performance of the entire Hotel California album, followed by a set of their greatest hits. The show will star new and old Eagles band members alike.

Harry Styles

9/18 Craving that watermelon-sugar high? Pop sensation Harry Styles finally brings it, after his Love On Tour concerts were postponed last year. Hear all your favorite hits from Styles’ groundbreaking 2019 album, Fine Line , at Capital One Arena.

Enrique Iglesias & Ricky Martin

10/14 Latin legends Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin are sharing the stage in a live tour promoting both of their newest albums. The two artists boast a number of top hits between them, in both English and Spanish. Don’t miss the dynamic duo’s team-up at Capital One Arena.

Tally Ho Theater

Sister hazel.

9/4 The American alt-rock band mixes up folk, jangle-pop, grunge, and Southern-inflected classic rock for a sound that’s endured since its self-titled album hit in 1994. Their music has turned up in movies and TV shows like 10 Things I Hate About You , The Wedding Planner , and Scrubs .

The Amish Outlaws

9/16 Before they discovered a passion for music and performing, most of these band members grew up in the Amish lifestyle (the rest are “honorary Amish”). Now known for their iconic hats and suspenders, this rock-and-roll cover band is ready to gets fans fired up at the Tally Ho Theater.

Jiffy Lube Live

9/7 Show off your Jagger-like moves when Maroon 5 performs its first new album in three years, Jordi . Featuring special guest performances by Meghan Trainor and Leon Bridges, this show is the perfect event for you and your sugar.

Jonas Brothers

10/10 Catch these famous siblings when they roll up to Jiffy Lube Live, along with country singer Kelsea Ballerini, on their Remember This tour. Listen to their new single and old fan-favorites at this outdoor event that you’d be a sucker to miss.

Jason Aldean

Warner Theatre

9/8 Feel the power. This multiplatinum rock band will perform songs from its seminal album Threat to Survival and others in a headbanging weeknight show.

Randy Rainbow

10/8 & 10/9 Current events via song parody? Say less. Viral musical satirist Randy Rainbow will be taking his top hits to the stage at the Warner Theatre, along with never-before-heard original songs from composers Marc Shaiman and Alan Menken. Prepare for pokes at all your (least) favorite politicians.

10/21 In the mood for the blues? Check out guitar guru and singer Tab Benoit when he hits up The Birchmere for his Whiskey Bayou Revue.

Jammin’ Java

Madison cunning.

10/23 The 21-year-old singer-songwriter’s debut album is deeply personal and utterly relatable. Cunning writes about the struggles we all went through in our late teens and early 20s, and she does so with electric energy and a unique sound.

11/4 Augustana’s frontman, Dan Layus, is going solo. The alternative band changed the game in the 2000s with hits like “Boston,” “Sweet and Low,” and “Steal Your Heart.” Now, Layus’ heartbreaking voice will captivate audiences at Jammin Java.

Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express

11/7 Prophet’s latest album, The Land That Time Forgot , is more than a country-inflected, folksy, bluesy collection of music. It has political ties, too, drawing on social issues and current events to get to the heart of what’s going on in our world today.

11/12 The winner of American Idol’s eighth season is hitting the stage at Jammin Java with fresh singles like “Hallelujah! For Now” and favorites from his fifth album, Letting You In.

William Elliott Whitmore

12/10 Banjo? Check. Bass drum? Check. Folk singer William Elliott Whitmore is now ready to play on. The Iowa native stirs the soul with his powerful voice and steady presence. This multitalented performer will wow audiences at Jammin Java come wintertime.

Street Corner Symphony

12/15 Missing those Pitch Perfect vibes? Get your a cappella fix with this group of Nashville-based singers. Originally premiering on NBC’s a cappella competition The Sing-Off, this quintet performs a variety of songs across several different genres. This season’s theme? All holiday, all the time.

The Ex Files

12/17 Sometimes, the hardest part of getting over a breakup is remembering all the good times that came before. That’s where playlists like “The Ex Files” come in—to remind us of the roller-coaster ride of love we just got off. Performed on stage by nine singers, these tunes take us back through journeys of love we just can’t escape.

Kennedy Center

Leslie odom jr..

11/26 & 11/27 Don’t wait for it! Check out the legendary Leslie Odom Jr. at the Kennedy Center this November. The actor, singer, and songwriter is a Tony Award winner for his stunning performance as Aaron Burr in the award-winning musical Hamilton . Make sure you’re in the room where this show happens.

George Mason University Center for the Arts

Dianne reeves.

12/4 Five-time Grammy Award winner Dianne Reeves will be showcasing her masterful jazz vocals in a debut performance at the George Mason Center for the Arts. Heralded as one of the top jazz vocalists in the world, Reeves is sure to inspire audiences with her mixture of jazz and R&B style.

20 New Rock + Metal Tours Announced This Past Week (Nov. 10-16, 2023)

As we near Black Friday and the holiday gift giving season, just a reminder that concert tickets make a nice stocking stuffer. And you've come to the right place as 20 new rock and metal concert tours were announced this week alone. And that's not to mention all the festivals and one-off specialty shows that were also revealed in the last seven days.

There's a little something for everyone, whether it be your headbanging, leather-wearing Judas Priest worshipping uncle, your 90s Pantera -grooving cousin or even your alt-rock psychedelically-inclined sibling anxious about Porno for Pyros return. Plus you've got Sammy Hagar digging deep into the Van Halen catalog, Staind bringing past and present together like they never took a hiatus and Starset staging their latest installations for their interplanetary fandom.

So start checking the names off your shopping list by giving the gift of live music, perhaps with some of the selections from this week's newly announced rock and metal tours below.

Device-Free Experience

This event will be a device-free experience. Use of all phone, smart, and/or recording devices will not be permitted in the performance space.

Upon arrival, small devices will be secured in Yondr pouches that will be unlocked at the end of the event. Guests will maintain possession of their Yondr pouches throughout the night, and if needed, may access their devices at designated Yondr unlocking stations in the lobby.

All pouches and equipment are routinely sanitized. The Yondr staff is trained and required to follow safety guidelines and hygiene protocols to practice social distancing, minimal contact and wear required personal protective equipment."

Frequent FAQs

Q:  Do I maintain possession of my phone at all times?

Q:  Will the case affect my phone in any way?

Q:  My ticket is on my phone. What do I do?

A: Printed tickets are preferred for entry, but Yondr staff will be standing by to unlock your phone so you can access your mobile ticket in order to enter the venue.

Q:  I have a babysitter at home OR I am on-call for work — Where can I check my phone? A: Set your phone to vibrate as you enter the venue. You’ll be able to feel your phone vibrate through the Yondr case when you receive calls or texts. You may use your phone throughout the night at designated Phone Use Areas in the lobby of the venue.

Q:  What is a Phone Use Area? A: Guests are able to use their phones at designated Phone Use Areas in the venue. All phones must be secured in a Yondr case before guests re-enter the performance space. 

Q:  How do I unlock my phone after the show? A: Yondr staff will be stationed at all exits to unlock your phone at the end of the show.

Q:  Does it take long to unlock the cases and leave the venue? A:  No. Yondr staff are located at each exit to unlock cases. We find that leaving is consistently faster at a phone-free show. 

Q:  I didn’t know about the phone policy. What if I don’t want to do this? A: This is the show policy, and as a result we cannot allow entry to any guests with cell phones or smart devices if they are not secured in a Yondr case.

Q:  What happens if there is an emergency in the venue and I can’t access my phone? A: All venue staff and security have cell phones and radios.

Exploring the Crooked Road, Virginia’s Appalachian Music Trail

Disclaimer: This post may contain affiliate links. All hosted affiliate links follow our editorial & privacy policies .

Appalachia music is well-known around the U.S. and highly regarded worldwide.

This region’s peaks and valleys were instrumental (pun intended!) in forming the foundation of traditional American music as we know it today.

The Blue Ridge Mountains and Southwest Virginia are particularly known for bluegrass and old-time music featuring stylistic fiddling and hot finger-picking on the banjo.

While Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry may be considered the hotbed of the genre today, the Blue Ridge region is historically recognized as the true birthplace of country music.

Practically every city and town in the Blue Ridge (especially SWVA) celebrates this legacy with music festivals, concerts, country jams, and specialty museums .

The 330-mile Crooked Road– Virginia’s Appalachian Music Trail– attempts to link many of the region’s best and most authentic musical experiences together in one fantastic road trip!

This extensive route through the Virginia mountains is full of live music venues and historic music sites. As a musician myself, I found it to be an essential introduction to the area’s rich musical history. 

Read on for our in-depth guide to exploring Appalachian Mountain music on the Crooked Road in Virginia, including all the best music venues, festivals, exhibits, and towns to visit along the way.

READ MORE: The 15 Best Virginia Music Festivals to Visit

The Crooked Road Virginia Info 

The Crooked Road spans 330 miles in Southwest Virginia, right in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains , and it’s 100% driven by music from the region.

The Crooked Road represent 53 Virginia mountain towns and four independent cities throughout Southwest Virginia, including 19 counties, 10 major music venues, and 50 affiliated music venues and festivals .

Major stops along the route include the towns of Abingdon, Bristol, Galax, and Norton.

The route also has 26 wayside exhibits where visitors can pull off the road, read about the area’s musical heritage, and listen to a 5-minute audio recording on FM radio.

Many musical genres are covered on Virginia’s Crooked Road. Old-time and bluegrass are commonly associated with Appalachia, but country, gospel, and centuries-old folk ballads are also featured prominently along the route.

Appalachian Music History

Without even delving into indigenous music in Southern Appalachia (which was home to Cherokee , Muskogee Creek, Iroquois, Powhattan, and Shawnee people), the music of the Blue Ridge is deeply entwined in U.S. cultural history.

Appalachia was largely settled by poor Scots-Irish immigrants . But it was also home to affluent Germans, enslaved Africans, and Mennonites .

It was primarily the melding of Scots-Irish and African musical traditions that created Appalachia’s trademark sound.

At the heart of this music is the fiddle (brought over by the Scots-Irish) and the banjo (an African instrument). Uptempo fiddle playing was often used to play lead melodies, with steady banjo picking providing the rollicking rhythm.

From this fusion of influences, regional genres like bluegrass and old-time music gradually evolved, often played on porches and at outdoor folk dances.

After the Civil War , American folk music and country music soon emerged, incorporating banjo and fiddle with other acoustic instruments (including guitar and upright bass) and intricate vocal harmonies.

The idea for the Crooked Road, Virginia’s Music Heritage Trail, originated in 2003. It moves through music-related  historic   sites in Virginia, music museums, vintage and modern venues, and tons of   music festivals .

This 330-mile route takes visitors through an Appalachian Mountains music experience that, in our experience, is second to none.

From local jams to major music events, Appalachian bluegrass and other musical genres of SW Virginia are showcased in amazing settings, both inside and out.

10 Crooked Road Concert Venues in Virginia

1. Birthplace of Country Music Museum

101 Country Music Way, Bristol VA • (423) 573-1927

Official Website

Located right on the Virginia/Tennessee border, Bristol VA is a music-happy town with great restaurants , bars, and craft beers.

It has been nationally recognized as the place from which country music gained fame, because the Bristol Sessions in 1927 helped introduce the United States to Appalachian Mountain music.

The Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol is affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution. and celebrates the early recordings of the music of Virginia and other Blue Ridge Mountain states .

Bristol’s music museum plays host to regular live concerts and hosts the renowned Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion festival every September.

We were really inspired by our visit to the museum this summer, and live music was a great part of the experience.

2. Blue Ridge Music Center

700 Foothills Road, Galax VA • (866) 308-2773 ext. 213

Located right on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Blue Ridge Music Center   is a major stop near the Virginia – North Carolina state border.

This region of SWVA is home to very distinct styles of Old Time music, and the museum is mostly aimed at preserving and promoting this classic style of Appalachian country/folk.

The museum is located at Milepost 213 on the Blue Ridge Parkway , and admission to the Visitor Center and Museum is free. Live music is played in the breezeway daily.

Additionally, the Blue Ridge Music Center has a “Roots Of American Music” outdoor concert series every summer, offering live music on Saturday evenings from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

We saw Sierra Ferrel there this summer. The show was outstanding, and the Blue Ridge Mountains backdrop was equally so!

3. Carter Family Fold

3449 A.P. Carter Highway, Hiltons VA • (276) 386-6054

Discovered nationally via the 1927 Bristol Sessions, the legend  of The Carter Family—A.P., Sara, and “Mother” Maybelle Carter— has continued to grow over the past century.

The Carter Family Fold is an 800+ seat, rustic “music shed” that offers live traditional music every Saturday evening.

A.P. Carter’s old general store now acts as a museum , and the original A.P. Carter house has recently been moved and reconstructed on-site.

These music legends are recognized as influential forerunners to modern country music. From 1927 to 1942, they recorded more than 300 songs.

Of course, hardcore Johnny Cash fans like me can’t help but have some interest in this landmark due to his longtime love of June Carter, the Grammy-winning daughter of Maybelle.

4. Country Cabin II in Appalachian Traditions Village

6034 Kent Junction Road, Norton VA • (276) 679-3541

The original Country Cabin was built in the late 1930s to appease local singer/songwriter Kate O’Neil Peters Sturgill.

In 2002, Country Cabin II was built to accommodate larger audiences who were hungry for an authentic rural Southwest Virginia music experience.

Country Cabin II offers clogging and line-dancing lessons, as well as live music (including bluegrass, country, and old-time) to dance to every Saturday night.

With nearly 100 years between them, the combined tenure of Country Cabin I & II makes this being the longest continuously running site for heritage music on the Crooked Road VA.

5. Floyd Country Store

206 South Locust Street, Floyd VA • (540) 745-4563

For 4 decades now, the Floyd Country Store has acted as a community gathering place for players and fans of Appalachian music and dance .

For over a century, The Floyd Country Store has served as a gathering place for Floyd locals, travelers, and passersby. In the early 1900s, it opened its doors as Farmers’ Supply in the heart of downtown Floyd.

In the early 1980s, then known as Cockram’s General Store, the Store became a hub for the local Appalachian music and dance scene as musicians and dancers began to gather on a weekly basis to enjoy each others’ company at The Friday Night Jamboree.

Picking on the front porch, the Friday Night Jamboree, and Sunday jams are all beloved events at the store, which also has old fashioned candy, a lunch counter, and hand-dipped ice cream.

The store is also home to The Handmade Music School, which is devoted to teaching old-time, bluegrass, and other forms of traditional music and dancing.

6. Old Fiddlers Convention & 7. Rex Theater

601 South Main Street • (276) 236-8541 & 111 East Grayson Street • (276) 236-0329 • Galax VA

Fiddlers Official Website & Rex Official Website

Of all the fiddler gatherings in Virginia and North Carolina  I’ve attended (and there are many), the Old Fiddlers Convention is easily the best. It actually has international acclaim and draws major audiences each year.

Established in 1935, this is the world’s largest and oldest fiddlers convention, with major prizes for winners in all sorts of competitions.

It’s held annually during the second week of August in Felts Park of Galax VA. Savvy visitors  camp in the park to take part in or listen to the myriad jam sessions that occur well into the night.

Galax is historically known as a furniture manufacturing hub, and the Rex Theater opened in the 1940s as the only movie theater in the area.

Now the theater is owned by the City of Galax, and it has been renovated to be a venue for local, regional, and national music, especially bluegrass and old-time.

Every week the Rex Theater hosts the “Blue Ridge Backroads Live”radio broadcast on Classic Country 98.1 FM, which can be heard throughout SWVA. It’s also available for live streaming on the web, and reaches a worldwide audience.

Located in Abingdon VA, just off I-81 near the Tennessee /Virginia border, the Southwest Virginia Culture Center & Marketplace provides special insight into Virginia music, food, arts and crafts , and community.

The SWVA Culture Center & Marketplace is the headquarters of the Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail, and it hosts tons of live music and talks from musicians.

The Blue Ridge Institute & Farm Museum is an educational facility where they teach visitors about past folk life in Southwest Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains .

In addition to exhibits about pottery, moonshine, and stock car racing, the institute and  museum has recreated a Virginia-German homestead.

One of our favorite parts of this experience is their weekly Monday night jams at 7 PM.

As with many stops on the Crooked Road, the music here focuses primarily on bluegrass and old-time.

10. The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center

249 Clintwood Main Street, Clintwood VA • (276) 926-8550

Opened in 2004, the Ralph Stanley Museum takes visitors on an interactive music adventure into the career of Dr. Ralph Stanley and through the history of traditional mountain music.

The museum is located in a huge, four-story house . It’s right in the heart of the Southwest Virginia mountains and dates back to over a century old.

Much of the museum focuses on the work of Stanley who had (and has) a worldwide following, with his particular style of banjo playing named “Stanley Style”.

Exhibits showcase historical memorabilia from country and modern bluegrass music, including instruments, awards (Stanley won a Grammy for “O Death” on the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack ), and costumes.

Best Crooked Road Exhibits

We don’t have space to provide insight into all 26 wayside exhibits found along the Crooked Road route, so I’ve compiled a nice sampling of my favorites to explain what they’re all about.

Each of the major concert venues in Virginia has wayside exhibits, but I’ve steered us to other ones to keep things fresh.

Remember each wayside attraction has an audio recording, including music samples, to go along with it. The exhibit text and recordings are also available online!

Franklin County Wayside– Town of Rocky Mount

This is considered the jumping-off point, or “eastern gateway,” for The Crooked Road. Historically, Franklin County is recognized as a place where average black and white folks shared their cultural music and dance.

Meadows of Dan Wayside– Patrick County

Patrick County was named after famed fiddler Patrick Henry. It is where the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the Piedmont Plateau meet, and has been home of many well-known musicians from the region.

Town of Big Stone Gap Wayside

Big Stone Gap is a day’s ride from the Cumberland Gap, and was a frequent stop for pioneers who followed Daniel Boone ’s trail. It played host to diverse musicians and buskers who performed with and learned from each other.

Town of Damascus Wayside

Known as “Trail Town USA ,” Damascus VA is the crossroads of 6 different trails, and it’s the base for getting to the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area. It was also home to many beloved Virginia musicians, from blind balladeer Horton Baker to composer/fiddler/singer G. B. Grayson.

Town of Independence Wayside– Grayson County

Located in Grayson County (home to 4 of Virginia’s 5 tallest mountains ), the Town of Independence became the county seat when two rival communities in Grayson had to reach a compromise. It is part of Grayson’s traditional music scene, and filled with notable musicians from small towns throughout the county.

Woodlawn Wayside – Carroll County

Former hometown of Ernest (Pop) Stoneman, rural Woodlawn VA and the areas near it are steeped in traditional music. The Melton family made traditional Appalachian dulcimers, while Kilby Snow redefined what an autoharp could be. Families have been passing down music traditions here for a loooong time. –by Jonathon Engels

We encourage anyone who loves the Blue Ridge region to learn about the  Leave No Trace   principles of responsible environmental stewardship. 

Stay on marked trails, take only pictures, pack out your trash, and be considerate of others who share the trails and parks you explore. 

Remember that waterfalls and rocky summits can be dangerous. Never try to climb waterfalls or get close to a ledge to get a selfie.

When you're exploring the wilderness, it's better to be safe than to be a statistic!

Jonathon Engels

After visiting North Carolina for the first time, Senior Writer Jonathon Engels and wife Emma spent 2 years exploring Western NC in search of a homestead property. They first lived in Brevard, where Jonathon taught writing at Blue Ridge Community College and extensively explored the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest. For the last several years they have lived just off the BRP near Elkin, Southwest Virginia, and the NC High Country. The couple also volunteers with the Surry Old Time Fiddlers Convention, the Elkin Valley Trail Association, and Reeves Downtown School of Music.

Maxwell Is Ready to ‘Serenade' Fans on 2024 North American Tour

Maxwell has announced a 2024 North American tour, which kicks off on Sept. 14 at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, Florida. The 26-date trek will feature special guests Jazmine Sullivan and October London.

Tickets for the run dubbed the Serenade Tour, go on sale this Friday, March 29, at 10 a.m. local time via his official website .

Maxwell, who made Rolling Stone 's 100 Greatest R&B Songs of the 21st Century with his track "Pretty Wings," earned his third Grammy for his most recent album, 2016's blackSUMMERS'night winning Best R&B song for  "Lake by the Ocean." In 2022, he performed his recent single " Off " on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.  The track is expected to appear on his forthcoming blacksummers'NIGHT album, the third in his trilogy that includes 2009's  BLACKsummers'night .

Legendary rock band Aerosmith schedules finale of 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour in Buffalo

The iconic rock band Aerosmith announced additional dates for their 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour — and Buffalo appears as the final stop.

The final tour has 40 stops across the United States from September through February, according to an announcement on the band's Facebook page .

Aerosmith has been a cornerstone of American rock music since the band formed in Boston in 1970. With one of the most recognizable lead vocalists in music, Steven Tyler, the band has left a significant impact on the industry, producing chart-toppers 'Dream On' (1973), 'Sweet Emotion' (1975) and 'Walk This Way' (1975) among many other notable songs.

Here's what we know about the show in Buffalo.

When and where is the Aerosmith show in Buffalo?

The announcement posted to the band's Facebook page shows the tour finale of Aerosmith's 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour on Feb. 26 at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, rescheduling from the band's canceled show from earlier this year.

Why did Aerosmith reschedule its Buffalo show?

The band's Buffalo performance scheduled for Jan. 16 was postponed after Tyler damaged his vocal cords during the Sept. 9 show in Elmont. He was initially advised by doctors to rest his voice for 30 days, according to USA TODAY , but sustained additional damage, including a fractured larynx that led to subsequent bleeding.
