![]() Seats are comfortable and the interior is absolutely stunning. Amazing that you don't have to go too far back in history to find a time when discrimination like that was considered the norm, but it is very cool that this little theater was a trailblazer in the area of desegregation. Jon Foreman of Switchfoot spoke during a break in his band's concert there a couple of years ago and said that the Bijou was the first theater in Tennessee to allow African American patrons to visit. This little theater is over 100 years old and has great historical significance. The view from their is spectacular and there is no one in front of you to obscure your enjoyment of the event. The place is so small that the front of the balcony is only about a dozen rows back from the stage. If you have the opportunity to select your seats, try to get front row in the balcony. Artists frequently comment during their shows about how amazing the acoustics are in the building. I have seen several concerts in this little place. The Bijou is and incredible gem in downtown Knoxville, TN.
