Glory Days Presents!

Live Music! Gainesville! Pensacola!

About Me

Glory Days Presents! has been producing and promoting live music events in the ever growing college town of Gainesville, FL since roughly 2000.
Currently, Glory Days presents shows at every regular live music venue in Gainesville - Side Bar, Market Street Pub, 1982 Bar, The Venue, Common Grounds, and Atlantic, and Backstage Lounge. Glory Days has also presented shows at past and present local venues including The Pontiac, Faces, Full Circle, The Shamrock, The Basement, Midtown, The Downtown Plaza, Tim and Terry's, and Hyde and Zeke Records. In addition, the company has contributed to local festivals such as THE FEST (presented by No Idea Records), Gainesville Summer Music and Film Showcase aka Moefest (presented by ASCAP and Promoe Music), and Alachua Music Harvest / Florida Music Harvest and works extensively with University of Florida organizations RUB (Reitz Union Board), and MEISA (Music Entertainment Student Association), and Student Government Productions. Basically, if its live music in Gainesville, we are probably involved.

We have recently begun expanding to other Florida markets including Pensacola and Orlando for select shows. Keep an eye on the show listings...

Glory Days presents OVER 200 LIVE SHOWS A YEAR, supporting local music and lesser known touring acts as well as featuring popular national acts - everything from punk to funk to indie to ska, and the occasional tribute band - while keeping ticket prices as affordable as possible. Every show is unique and different from the last, with an emphasis on original and cohesive lineups from top to bottom while simultaneously striving to introduce fans and artists to something new and fresh every night.
