Big Ears at the Pilot Light 2023

The Pilot Light has been a vital live music outpost in the southeast for almost three decades, achieving a 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; others may remember Algiers’ electrifying set to a packed crowd. 

The Pilot Light will once again be part of the Big Ears experience in 2023; scroll down to learn more about the remarkable lineup of musicians performing at the venue during our festival weekend.
