Kings

About

Kings is a live music venue on West Martin Street in downtown Raleigh. It first opened in July 1999 and set out to treat music fans and musicians in a way that was entirely different from anything else in the Triangle.

The calendar is dense and varied. Hardcore bills, touring bands from out of state, and record label nights all land here, most of them presented by outside promoters who book the room for an evening. Hopscotch Music Festival nights are part of the venue’s history.

  • Some nights are free to get in.
  • Promoters including Sorry State Records and Strange World put on shows here.
  • The 919 Day hardcore lineup is an annual September fixture.
