Bon Secours Wellness Arena

Bon Secours Wellness Arena is what happens when 16,000 people decide they don't care that the beer costs eleven dollars and the nachos taste like the inside of a vending machine, they're here for Taylor Swift, or the Swamp Rabbits, or Paul McCartney, or whoever else decided Greenville was worth the tour stop, and none of that matters once the lights go down. Opened in 1998 for $63 million, renamed in 2013 when a hospital system bought the naming rights, this is corporate spectacle at full volume, and somehow it works anyway. You're not coming here for the room. You're coming here because the biggest names in music decided this parking deck and this concourse were worth showing up for, and honestly, so are you.

A note on this one: Bon Secours is booked and ticketed through Live Nation, the same company facing a federal antitrust lawsuit over its dominance of live music. We're not going to pretend that's not true, or that we're thrilled about it. We list it because it's a real, unavoidable part of the Greenville music landscape, and because we'd rather you know what you're supporting than not. Go if you want to go. Just know what you're funding when you do
