When it comes to enjoying live music, the venue can make all the difference. Being in a dull and lifeless place can even make your favorite bands seem less impressive. However, there are plenty of venues across the world that go above and beyond in providing people with a fantastic time and the perfect ambiance for the music they love. Here are some well-known and lesser-known spots worth checking out:

In England, you have a great variety of venues. On one hand, you have grand halls like the Royal Albert, and on the other, numerous delightfully gritty drinking clubs. But in between, you’ll find some truly special treats. Hovingham village hall in the North may seem like an unlikely place to start, but at The Shed, they host some of the coolest experimental jazz and folk events you’ll ever witness.

If you get hungry, they even serve a peculiar cockerel stew to keep you going. For rock enthusiasts, Wild at Heart in Berlin is a must-visit. It’s located in what used to be an extreme anarchist area and offers a peculiar mix of whiskey, Pacific religious icons, and Elvis memorabilia. And of course, there’s always La Scala for some opera.

On the opposite end of the risk spectrum, you’ll find Liquid Room in Tokyo. Japanese clubbers are super-friendly, and the overall ambiance, along with the music, is fun and distinctive. While the US may be renowned for its spectacular venues, one lesser-known gem is the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington State.
