Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center

So glad I was finally able to see Cheap Trick. Robin Zander still can sing and Rick Nielsen still is, well, Rick Nielsen. One thing, though, is their setlist is like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates: you sort of never know what you will get. You're for the most part guaranteed "Dream Police," "Ain't That a Shame," "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," and "Goodnight" (their closer). Other than that, it's a roll of the dice. Short version: don't have your heart set on anything other than these, especially if they played it recently. The setlist outside of these five changes almost nightly.

Skillet was awesome. They played all of their biggest hits (which also are my favorite) and they had fire shooting out of the stage with the beat of the drums and the lead singer had this thing that shot smoke out of his arms during one of the songs and it was an amazing performance. Was the best way I could have celebrated my birthday and I’m so happy I went. It was cheap tickets too because it was a Christian concert. Only $15 per person. Wish I could have heard more of them. Best present ever

Great show, my first time seeing Hootie & the Blowfish, Collective Sole, or Edwin McCain. 30 years is a long time rocking the world. Thanks. All were great and each was great singing AC/DC & Led Zeppelin keeping us rocking. Collective Sole, & Edwin McCain with an AC/DC tune and Hootie & the Blowfish with a Led Zeppelin classic tune Very glad to make the trip up to Knoxville to see each band entertain, play, & sing for us all.

It was my first VIP experience. The tour was fantastic, the sound check was phenomenal. The concert was amazing! Mr. McDonald struggled a bit but it didn't cause any issues with the crowd. I will only go VIP when I go to a concert again! I absolutely LOVED the experience! Pat, Tom andJohn brought the crowd to their feet!! A once In a lifetime experience for me I will never forget! Wow!!!

The bands were amazing. The venue was absolutely hideous.Terrible will never go back there again. No a c. They packed us in like sardines. Couldn't really see the band. Will never go back to the food city venue in knoxville. People pay good money to see the band but yet couldn't see them. If you're gonna have floor seating you need to make sure that everybody can see the band.

Pentatonix sang their hearts out for those of us lucky enough to be in the audience Saturday evening. They focused on upbeat lively Christmas songs, such as 12 Days of Christmas, Carol of the Bells, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, My Favorite Things, and You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." The lighting on stage was gorgeous and added to the festive atmosphere. There were also some ballads, such as Christmas Time is Here, Mary Did You Know and Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) that, with the group's amazing harmonies, were emotional and heart felt. Over all, Pentatonix: the Most Wonderful Tour of the Year was just that, wonderful and well worth seeing and hearing!

The show was phenominal! Pentatonix did a great job with an interesting mix of Christmas medleys, cello with beat box and drums, and a mix of older songs ("Mary Did You Know" from 2014 and a new song composed just this year. Getting to the venue (Thompson Boling Arena at Food City Center) was a nightmare because of all the traffic. Getting out of the venue was the same. But it was worth it because the show was so great!

For some reason this is only showing 4 1/2 stars but that is no way correct. Definitely 5 Stars all the way. This was the 3rd show me and my daughter went to over the summer and loved every single show. This show, we were celebrating my daughter’s 22nd birthday and it was awesome. Adam came down off the stage just to give her a hug, guitar pick & wished her a happy birthday. Made her night. Plus we met Brantley & Josh Ross. I wish I could add a couple more pictures to show her excitement. I laughed so hard when so many Nickelback fans were pissed that you were one of their openers because they had no idea what an outstanding person, musician, & performer you guys are ,we had seen you before in Louisville years before and your show made us to always be in the pit. Can’t wait for more music and shows from all of you. Outstanding job. Keep Rockin’ 🤟🤘❤️ Krisy Lenart Lanesville, In.

this was my third concert ever and first metal concert. to say that this was amazing would be an understatement. the lights, the graphics, the AUDIO was awesome. maynard was a fucking character and it was hilarious. all of them are just so talented it was awesome. i’d say expect to spend a lot on drinks and shirts but it was well worth it. also don’t take videos until maynard says you can, or he’ll kick you in the vagina.

We came to celebrate my daughters birthday and boy was the a show. This was the 4th show this summer we seen and you guys never failed. Nickelback, Brantley Gilbert, & Joss Ross came to put on a show and they didn’t disappoint. The lighting, pyrotechnics, the energy they all had. Made this a special birthday for get. Thanks and can’t wait for future shows. Keep Rockin’ ❤️❤️

This performance is a 5 star not a 4 1/2. Fantastic performance and had not disappointed me yet. This was the 3rd time seeing him this tour w/ Nickelback & Brantley Gilbert. And can’t wait to see more of him. We were celebrating my daughters birthday and he remembered meeting her in Nobelsville Indiana. Such a nice humble person. Krisy Lenart Southern Indiana Fan

3 stars I know isn’t great. Koe would get 5 but the fans in Knoxville get 1 bringing it down to a 3. Seen him in 3 states and he was absolutely great because he plays off the crowd. The crowd in Knoxville were not into the show and were more interested in getting drunk and fighting. Would I see Wetzel again? Absolutely but would not see him again in that venue.

Good but could have been a lot better. It was great that they played for 3 hours and 15 minutes but they definitely could have trimmed about five or six songs out or possibly substituted other songs for some of the songs they did play. (Down on the farm, reckless life, hard Skool, absurd, TV eye, Wichita lineman never need to be played again.) Also absolutely everything about Ticketmaster sucks and they should be banned by federal legislation.

All 3 artist were great. Thomas Rhett puts on an amazing show. Haven't seen that much energy at a country concert since Garth Brooks. He was shaking hands with the crowd and running around the stage making sure every fan felt his presence. Great vocals even though said was fighting through the pain of singing. Couldn't tell one bit.

She was fantastic! She rose up from under the stage, which was very cool. And she made a point to walk out to the middle stage and sing directly to each section—-she did this for most of her songs and it was decisions like that which made her audience feel appreciated. The only negative was the sound quality. There was so much background sound from the band that it was difficult to hear the words in her songs. They need to make her beautiful voice stand out above all that!

Oh my gosh! It was amazing! Journey is my absolute favorite group of all time! The only thing that would have made it better is if Steve Perry had been there. Don't get me wrong, Arnel is a great singer, but to me, Steve Perry was, is, and always will be the voice of Journey. I would definitely 100% see them again if I had the opportunity. And Thompson-Boling Arena is a great venue!

Amazing show. The pre show arm band number deal was worthless and ridiculous. Have 500 people show up the morning of to get numbered bracelets for Gen Admission, and only give out 300 and tell everyone else oops sorry! If you are going to see this band, buy real seats ! If you want no weird jump through hoops to see a band you already paid for , to find out by email 5 days b4 show you have to be there at the venue to get this bracelet to get a good spot? And No one can pick up for you ..Definitely not worth all those hoops! When they opened for Metallica we didn’t have all this ridiculous stuff happening.

Unfortunately that show was postponed. I attended The Pretty Reckless at 3 other venues. Prior to tpr on 4.18.22 my concert experience totaled 4 shows. Each were huge theatrical events, which was not my taste. The Pretty Reckless shows were almost perfect in their simplicity! Drummer🤷🏼 who can be heard but not seen….think they hide him😜. FANTASTIC Bass & Guitar. With Taylor Momsen’s blonde hair and LEGS strutting around completely owning the stage. Who’s vocals might be better live than even on CD. A song lyric I was previously uncertain, was easily understood live….”take the SINK, take the DRYER”. Their show is very entertaining. With excellent quality music and a front woman in total control of herself, & the crowd. I LOVED their performance and look forward to attending another. 👏👏👏

Such and amazing concert. It was my first time seeing Five Finger and they were just awesome. Ivan was so engaging to his audience he seems like a really cool guy. He seems to really enjoy what he does, it made the whole experience so much more. He talked a lot about so many things drug recovery, his daughter, military, he signed to a deaf girl and gave her a signed sign for her brother who just got back from being deployed, sans happy birthday to a girl, gave out candy to kids. This is definitely one of my favorite concerts. Not forgetting Three Days Grace either. I’ve loved them for years, and so glad I was finally able to see them live, they were super awesome too.

Loved every moment of the VHS tour! Dustin is pure energy sweet flows and all that he does. I love the way he danced and I love his music he's just goes beyond🌟 I went to the pre-show meet-and-greet and I just love the he's so up close and personal. He doesn't shy away from his fans, he's really a person who aims to please! There's nothing like that pure smile & his " Energy " sweetness. I hope that we can get a meeting greet for Madison Wisconsin 2020! I hope that there's upgrade tickets offer even a meet & greet.Even if it's no a pre-show. Love to see his smile up close and in person! He makes me smile👄
