DJ Kool will be coming to Toad's Place of Richmond to film his newest music video. A veteran of D.C.'s Go-Go circuit, Kool has worked as a DJ since the early 90's. Known for 1992's "20 Minute Workout", recorded live in Richmond, VA. Other hits include "Let Me Clear My Throat" and Fatman Scoop collaboration "It Takes Two" in mid-2000.

A Unique Location

Toad's Place of Richmond is located within the meticulously restored Lady Byrd Hat Factory, the only historic building at canal level along the Historic Kanawha Canal. Located in Downtown Richmond's Historic Shockoe Slip, Toad's Place is within walking distance of dozens of downtown apartments, condominiums, parking decks, attractions, night clubs, and restaurants.

Concertgoers enter Toad's Place through our main entrance located on the Canal Walk. Richmond's Canal Walk also serves as the outdoor dining patio for our restaurant Highwater, a place to meet friends or a catch a smoke break. Toad's Place takes pride in being a non-smoking building, but provides a the patio on the canal, as well as a deck located on the mezzanine level.

The Room

A Perfect Setting

After having dinner in Highwater, patrons can pick up their tickets at the box office and enter the venue's main floor where they can grab a drink and a spot in front of the stage.

Our main floor is large enough to hold several hundred people, but it creates a great atmosphere for medium-sized or smaller-shows. This has provided Toad's Place with the opportunity to host many diverse genres.

The Mezzanine level offers a bird's-eye view of the stage, as well as more room to spread out. A perk for patrons who don't like to stand in front of the stage or dance around on the main floor with the music. The Mezzanine Bar keeps the upstairs crowd refreshed and the VIP's happy.

The Artists

The Roster Speaks For Itself...

Avenged Sevenfold, Boyz II Men, Buddy Guy, Carbon Leaf, Chevelle, Disco Biscuits, Dropkick Murphy's, Finger Eleven, Flo Rida, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Girl Talk, Guster, GWAR, Johnny Winter, Lamb of God, Megadeath, moe., The New Pornographers, Paramore, Regina Spektor, Rick Ross, Rilo Kiley, Rob Zombie, Swell Season,They Might Be Giants, Third Eye Blind, Ween, Wu-Tang Clan & Zappa Plays Zappa, And Many More...

The Sound

Clair Brothers Audio System

Toad's Place of Richmond features a Clair Brothers Audio Sound System that was custom designed to the shape of the venue, to give the room the best sound possible. In addition, Toad's Place uses an incomparable combination of the finest digital mixing consoles and monitor boards to deliver superior sound onstage and for the audience.

The Impression

The response is unanimous! Concertgoers, bands, press and even the competition agree: Besides quickly establishing itself as the best place to see your favorite band in Richmond, Toad's Place is one of the finest sounding and best looking new venues of its size in the country!

"The type of music has no limits, ranging from blues legends, rock and roll, and nostalgic 80's bands to up-and-coming artists... With four bars, a full-sized restaurant and the largest patio on the Canal, you can watch and listen to your favorite bands in style" ~Style Weekly "Arts & Culture" August 15 2007.

"Having a venue like Toad's Place in Richmond has been long overdue. It is getting people enthused about live music again. " ~ Barry Privett: Lead singer of Carbonleaf

"Toad's in Richmond is the best club we've played in America. It would be grand if we could just pack up the club and take it with us every night." ~ Niall Barret: Tour Manager: The Saw Doctors.

"I just wanted to write to you to let you know that Toads Place in Richmond was amazing on all accounts. The room, sound, crew, hospitality, everything...killer." ~ Pat McGee
