The big shows skip Boone. But Asheville is about 90 minutes south, and the Triad and Charlotte are a straight shot east. So here's what's worth the drive: concerts in Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and Charlotte. Filter by city, and tap any show for tickets and details on the venue's own page.

Our picks from the lineups below.
Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson together, one bill, one night in Charlotte. Both bands are touring on the strength of recent records, and The Hu and Orgy are solid opening acts. This is the kind of lineup that does not reassemble often, and the Truliant Amphitheater is a room where you can actually see what is happening on stage. Go if you can drive it.
This is 2000s industrial rock at its best
Benson Boone is twenty-one and from Monroe, which is to say he is a North Carolina kid playing an arena show in Charlotte. He signed to Warner Records after a viral TikTok moment, which is how a lot of younger artists get here now. The Wanted Man Tour is his headline run.
He often gets compared to Freddie Mercury. We don't think anyone can pull that off. But he can come close.
An hour down I-40 beats waiting for the next time a name like this rolls through a mid-size venue, and the Spectrum Center is built for this crowd. Go.
Nothing matches those filters.
