About Me

AC Entertainment brings a world of music to Knoxville. How? We throw the 12-week spring/summer concert series/party known as Sundown in the City in Market Square. We hold unparalled cultural events at the Tennessee Theatre. We are very excited to have reopened the famed Bijou Theatre to host intimate performances by local, regional and national acts of all kinds. If our name still doesn't ring a bell, maybe you've heard of Bonnaroo, that giant summer festival in Manchester, Tenn. Yeah, we do that too. And let's not forgot our newest addition the the music festival family, Vegoose, happening over Halloween weekend in Las Vegas. This year will mark its second year! Be our friend and you'll never again think Knoxville is a dull place to live.
