About the room
A bank lobby that turned out to sound right
The Copper Vault opened in 2014 in a 1912 bank building on East Market. The original vault door is still in the back bar. We run about 180 shows a year, and we are independently owned, which is why we can hold ticket fees at 9 percent instead of the 25 percent people are used to. Load in is street level with a dedicated bay.
•Ticket fees capped at 9 percent, printed on every listing
•Meyer LEO PA with a house engineer on every show
•Street level load in, full backline available at no charge
Reviews
From artists and audiences
“Best sounding 900 cap room between Nashville and Chicago. The house engineer knew our tracks before we loaded in.”
Theo A., Touring band, spring run
“I am five foot two and I could actually see. That is not a thing at most rooms this size.”
Priscilla D., Regular attendee
“We did our wedding here and the sound for the band was better than any hotel ballroom would have managed.”
Owen and Jamie K., Wedding reception, 240 guests
FAQ
Show night questions
Are shows all ages?
About 85 percent are. All ages shows wristband anyone 21 and over at the door for bar access. The remaining shows are 21+ at the artist's request, and that is always marked on the calendar listing and on your ticket.
What is your bag and re entry policy?
Bags larger than 12 by 12 inches are not permitted and there is no bag check. Re entry is not allowed once you are inside, with the exception of the smoking patio which is inside the security perimeter and open all night.
How do bands get booked here?
Send a link to recorded music, your Louisville draw if you have played here, and routing dates to the booking address. We book about four months out. Local acts should ask about opener slots, we add a local to most touring bills and they are paid.
Where do we park?
There is no venue lot. The Market Street garage is one block west and runs $8 flat after 5pm, and street parking is free after 6pm. Rideshare pickup is on Hancock Street on the east side of the building, not on Market.
