What do Adele, Lizzo, Muse, and Katy Perry have in common?

The artists have all graced the stages at One Cannery Row, the building home to Mercy Lounge, Cannery Ballroom + The High Watt.

It was announced yesterday that the trio of independent concert venues will close in May once the lease is up. The plan is to relocate them to a new location, although details have not yet been released.

The flagship venue Mercy Lounge opened in 2003, followed by the Cannery Ballroom and The High Watt.

Since the news broke, members of Nashville’s music community have shared favorite memories at the 3 venues, including secret shows and surprise sets as well as showcases at annual events like Tin Pan South and the Americana Music Festival.

Not ready to say goodbye to the current location? The good news is that over 150 local acts and touring artists are currently scheduled to perform between now and May.

And if you want to look back at concerts dating back to the early 2000s, check out setlists from shows at Mercy, Cannery, and The High Watt.
