Muscle Shoals Sound Studio Weekend Update

It’s going to be a beautiful (and busy!) weekend here in the Shoals. With Jason Isbell’s ShoalsFest bringing plenty of visitors to the area, we’re expecting a busy few days at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and want to share a few details to help make your visit as smooth as possible.

Friday, October 2

Our regular tour schedule will run as planned.

Saturday, October 3

We’re adding an additional 9:30 AM tour to help accommodate the weekend crowd. Tours last approximately 45–50 minutes.

A Note About Online Tickets

To help us manage the busy weekend, we have temporarily stopped online ticket sales for certain tour times. If a tour time appears unavailable online, don’t worry! We will still accept walk-up, in-person ticket sales for those times, as space allows.

If you’re planning to visit us Saturday, we encourage you to stop by the Studio and check in with our team. We’ll do our best to get you in for a tour!

Parking & Check-In

We’ll have a tent set up outside the Studio for check-in on both Friday and Saturday. Our regular parking will be available, along with additional parking located directly behind the Studio.

Come spend a little time at the place where so much of the Muscle Shoals sound came to life. We’ll see you at 3614 Jackson Highway!
