I would recommend doing your research on Youtube in advance.

Big Ears Festival is thrilled to announce a special partnership with the legendary Blue Note Records for our 2025 edition! This collaboration brings an exciting new dimension to the festival with the creation of a dedicated Blue Note Records Pop-Up Store & Lounge—a vibrant gathering space where music, conversation, and discovery come together. Throughout the festival weekend, the Blue Note Lounge will host a dynamic lineup of talks, panels, conversations, pop-up performances, and other surprises, including special appearances and events featuring musician, producer, and Blue Note President, Don Was.

I attended on the general admission pass the first two years I went and only recall being shut out from a concert I tried to attend one time. In general, I would advise getting to the venue ten or fifteen minutes early.You can get a rough idea of the concert's popularity from the app, which will show the number of people scheduling the concert. My favorite venue is the Bijou Theater. The Tennessee Theater is also nice, a larger and more opulent theater. The Knoxville Civic Auditorium is okay. Those are the three largest venues. I don't like standing room only venues, so the three worst venues for me are the Mill and Mine, the Standard, and Jackson Terminal. For me, the best plan is to have a schedule worked out in advance and stick to it. I prefer complete sets, so I rarely go to a concert that has already begun before I arrive. They do clear the venue after every set, so you cannot plant yourself in one place for two or three sets in a row. You have to pass through their fairly minimal security every time.

The detailed schedule is online. https://bigearsfestival.org/lineup/?view=schedule&meta_date=20250327
