BIG EARS 2022 AT THE PILOT LIGHT

The Pilot Light has been a vital live music outpost in the southeast for almost three decades, ahieving legendary status that belies its intimacy and DIY ethos.

The club has long been a favorite Big Ears venue with a lineup booked by Pilot Light founder Jason Boardman, and it has been the scene of many unforgettable performances during the festival weekend (some in attendance at the surprise late night show by The Comet is Coming may be still traveling the spaceways).

The Pilot Light will once again be part of the Big Ears experience in 2022; click below to learn more about the remarkable line-up of musicians performing at the venue during our festival weekend.
