About
The Harvester Performance Center is Southwest Virginia's best concert venue, as voted by the readers of Virginia Living Magazine. The Harvester hosts over 150 concerts per year in a renovated tractor dealership and hardware store upfitted with an amazing $300,000 sound system, comfortable seats and great atmosphere for live music of all genres from national touring artists. Some nights host two concerts, one in the main room and one in our more intimate Landing Pad stage. Nearly 200 parking spaces are available within 500 feet of the entrance, including private spaces at Carter Bank & Trust and Cox's, public farming across the street at the Farmers Market and nearby public lots, and on street. Come early, eat and shop in Rocky Mount and dance the night away with great music at the Harvester!

Stop on road trip. This was the nastiest place I’ve ever stayed. Couldn’t cancel reservation without penalty. Everything in disrepair. Didn’t feel safe.

The hotel still has smoking rooms, the bedroom was spacious but the floors were grimy. I don’t like wearing my shoes around my bedroom but really should have since my socks felt disgusting after. I refused to shower in that dark high-school-esque shower. The sink’s cabinet doors had grime down the sides. There was a door with a lock on our side in the room- I’m assuming it was an adjoining room but not sure since there wasn’t a label. I guess we got what we paid for, but would only recommend as a place to shower and use the toilet. The bed wasn’t very comfortable to sleep in but it was a bed.

My non-smoking room reeked of cigarette smoke. The room was shabby clean, the beds are like rocks, and there was no resolution or rooms that don't smell. DO NOT STAY.

Great place to see a show. They offer a variety of artists with better price ranges than many of the larger venues. One of our go to places to see shows.

Once the improvements are completed I am sure this will be a very nice place to stay. I look forward to seeing it completed this fall when we pass through again.

So nasty and non smoking room is still smells cigarette and mattress is even burnt with cigarette. I ask the receptionist to transfer me but still give me another room that smell smoke. But atleast it was bearable and too tired to argue and transfer my luggage again. No more travelodge for me in the future. Receptionist was so unfriendly and try to argue that he gave me a non smoking room.

This property is a dump. It's filthy and poorly maintained. Do not stay here for any price. You're better off sleeping in your car.

We cancelled our reservation about 10 minutes after checking in. The room was horrific. Stained bed covers with cigarette burns, marks on walls, dirty floors, dirty fridge, dirty toilet and then realized it was also broken and wouldn't flush. Broken drawers (literally fell off when I tried to open). Broken phone. Would never recommend anyone stay here and find it outrageous this hotel is able to get away with this. Cannot believe Wyndham has its name associated with it either. I considered the Wyndham brand reputable but after this experience I am extremely hesitant to stay at any of their hotels. Although the receptionist was nice to us - don't waste your money, time, health and safety staying here.

The doors open 1 hour before the show, but how early do you have to line up to get good seats?

We showed up early and got some great seats. But, as the show time crept closer, the staff rearranged and added seats in front of us for their friends and totally ruined the view. People in front of us, who had been there for a while were told to move to make room for others.
This place is small, so if you're listening to music you should be fine. Just don't expect your seats or view to remain the same.

how is seating handled? Is it first come first served? Or do we get there early to get seat assignments (like birchmere)? Thanks!

I believe it's first come first served, but we had VIP tickets which were worth every penny! We got priority seating in the first couple of rows!! I say, pay the extra $$ and enjoy the show, it's a great venue!!😉

I'm going to the Harvester for a show in a couple of weeks. I've searched online and can't find this question anywhere. Are food and drinks allowed to be BROUGHT INTO the venue? I already know they sell stuff inside but I've seen food trucks outside the venue as well.

HI to answer your question: No outside food or drink are allowed in the venue. We often do have food trucks parked out front, but not for all shows. You can always email us directly to find out about food trucks for the night of your show. We highly recommend visiting one of the restaurants in town. You can find a listing on the Visit Page. Need anything else please call the Box Office 540-484-8277 T-F 10a-4p.. Thanks we look forward to seeing at the show!!
Hi, I have a couple questions. What is the dress code? I'm attending an evening show. Also, I bought gold seat tickets and I want to be in the first row. I am attending an 8pm show. I've never been to the venue before. I read doors open at 7pm. I am aware seats are first come, first serve. Should I arrive extra early to assure seats in the first row?

The Harvester doesn't have an expected dress code, so dress comfortably and to suit you. Just please be aware that the venue us for all ages. If you want a front row seat, you should show up early.
