Velour Music Gallery, Music venue in Provo, United States
Velour Music Gallery is a live music venue on University Avenue in Provo, Utah, with a stage framed by decorative stained glass-style windows and professional stage lighting. The room is compact enough that there is no bad spot in the house, and the stage feels close from almost anywhere you stand.
Velour is owned by Corey Fox and has served as an all-ages, alcohol-free stage on University Avenue in Provo. Its Battle of the Bands crowned both Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees, and the room was listed in the "Best of Utah" in 2007. Awards followed, including Best Music Venue 2012 from Salt Lake Magazine and Best Live Music Venue 2013 from the Daily Herald.
Velour operates without alcohol, which means people of all ages can attend shows together in the same room. This is not a small detail in Provo, where it reflects how the local community relates to live music as a shared, family-friendly experience.
Shows happen most nights of the week, so checking the calendar before you go is worth doing, especially for popular acts. Getting there early gives you a better position in the room and more time to settle in before the music starts.
The venue was used as a filming location for a regional music television show that featured local performers across multiple episodes. The exposure drew attention to acts that might otherwise have remained known only within Utah.
