The Greyhound

New to the Big Ears venue family for 2026, Knoxville’s iconic Magnolia Greyhound Bus Terminal reopens for the festival weekend. Opened in 1959 and celebrated for its mid-century design, the landmark space returns as a striking new setting for distinctive—and at times fully immersive—Big Ears programs. Presented in collaboration with Dewhirst Properties and the City of Knoxville and located just steps from the Old City, Mill & Mine, and the Point, The Greyhound is poised to become one of the festival’s most memorable venues.
