The Canopy Club Concerts 2025

The staff was super nice and I was impressed with their focus on keeping the guests hydrated. The venue has a great slope allowing you to be able to find a good view anywhere if you're willing to move around a bit. Bathrooms were plenty and clean. I was however, a little put off by 2 things. 1. We were charged a fee for having guests under 21 in our group. It was only $3 a person, but I it wasn't mentioned anywhere when purchasing tickets, or when I emailed the venue specifically checking if those under 18 were allowed. A lot of the guests in the line seemed to be a bit put off as well. 2. I was quite upset to find out all that almost all the upper seating was reserved. I had also emailed to see what the venue set up was like and they could have easily mentioned this, but they didn't. Overall it's a nice venue and I would be back but I feel like they should work on their transparency.

We decided to go to the Canopy Club on Tuesday Night. It was my first time, here. What an incredible venue, located near the U of I Campus! It Turned Out, that it was Hip-Hop Open Mic Night! (Every Tuesday, Night) We enjoyed the performances of all of the Aspiring Hip-Hop Artists...especially, EDOT CARTEL, who performed, his latest Original Music! (See posted photos) A 'Summer Camp' event, was taking place, on the Club's, Main Stage, in the adjacent auditorium. A great, large space, with theater style seating available. We watched the Aspiring DJ's perform back to back shows. The unique combinations of music and the incredible video and light shows, created a sensory overload! Very Entertaining! Attendees danced until closing time, on the large open dance floor. I loved the atmosphere, and observed that every performer, whether an Aspiring Hip-Hop Artist, or Aspiring DJ, could bring their own unique style to the stage, and feel welcome to express themselves, in a positive, inclusive environment! This club is such an asset to have, within walking distance of the University's Campus!

Got kicked out for underage drinks even though I am of age with a wristband and was treated so poorly, will NEVER go again. Most disappointing experience. I was minding my own business and causing no trouble, simply kicked out for underage drinking even though I tried to tell them I was of age and showed an ID. The bouncer was swearing at me even when I was out the door and not on the premises.

This is one of the best places to see a live show in Champaign-Urbana. They have a wide mix of genres that play here. I wish they had more rock music though. 🤘

I attended a show here that was put together by Punchline, starring some great acts. This place seems to be the driving force behind Chambana's music scene.
