“Yes, I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.” The immortal words of James Taylor hearken back to the great state of North Carolina, a musical wonderland that has birthed countless music movements and artists like the aforementioned singer-songwriter. Some of the best jazz musicians of all time have hailed from the Tar Heel State (including John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk) and traditional folk and country music styles have a certified home there as well. North Carolina also boasts the most American Idol finalists in the show’s history. Are you convinced to get your North Carolina concert tickets yet? With so much music bursting in its DNA, North Carolina inevitably has some of the country’s best venues, featuring the folk, punk, jazz and metal acts that define the state.

The Orange Peel is one of the state’s trendiest clubs, a famous hotspot that can brag one of the most eclectic collections of big name artists to ever grace a single stage. Skrillex, The Black Keys and Bob Dylan have all done their thing at the Orange Peel, which also puts on the Moogfest electronic festival. If you’re a member, you get access to the exclusive Pulp bar in the basement, tricked out with a full liquor bar and a live feed to the upstairs stage show. You’re gonna want to be a member.

Make sure to visit the Raleigh Amphitheater and Festival Site for a feel of North Carolina’s balmy weather and a view of the famous Blue Ridge Mountain range. Unlike most outdoor amphitheaters, this venue is located in the heart of downtown Raleigh, meaning that a full night of partying and adventuring is only a few feet in either direction. Who knows, you might run into Maroon Five, Barenaked Ladies or Vampire Weekend – all recent guests of the 5,000 seat venue.
