Between The Buried And Me will perform at The Caverns on Friday, June 19. The venue is a fully operational concert space built within a natural limestone cave system in Grundy County, Tenn., named to Billboard‘s 2026 Top Music Venues list for what the publication called its “Wow Factor.”
The Caverns has steadily built a reputation as a destination for heavy and experimental music. Previous performers inside the cave include drone pioneers Sunn O))) (two appearances), Blood Incantation, GWAR, guitarist Buckethead (three shows, with a fourth scheduled for Aug. 7), and cult sludge act Acid Bath.
General manager Joe Lurgio said, “The Caverns is a venue for all genres of music, and that certainly includes metal. Could there be a more perfect place for a metal show than surrounded by rock inside a prehistoric cave?”
Between The Buried And Me‘s June 19 Caverns show falls near the end of the band’s current 31-date U.S. headlining tour in support of their 2025 album The Blue Nowhere (InsideOut Music). The run opened May 15 in Richmond, Va., and closes June 20 in Winston-Salem, N.C., with support on select dates from Imperial Triumphant, Fallujah, Thank You Scientist, and The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Tickets and additional information are available at The Caverns’ website.
Formed in 2000 in Raleigh, N.C., Between The Buried And Me has released 11 studio albums, from their 2002 self-titled debut through The Blue Nowhere, earning a Grammy nomination in 2019 and consistent year-end recognition from outlets including Consequence, Revolver, and Loudwire. The band’s current lineup is vocalist and keyboardist Tommy Rogers, guitarist Paul Waggoner, bassist and keyboardist Dan Briggs, and drummer Blake Richardson.
