The BancorpSouth Arena and Conference Center

A multi-purpose arena and conference facility in Tupelo, Mississippi, the venue has anchored regional entertainment and events since opening in October 1993. Within its first year, it earned a Pollstar Magazine nomination for "Best New Major Concert Venue" and a "Best New Facility" designation from Performance Magazine. Notable performers have included Elton John, the Eagles, Jason Aldean, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Nickelback, and Aerosmith, with several artists using the facility for extended rehearsal periods. Designed for comfort, convenience, and flexibility, the arena floor converts from a large concert configuration to an intimate theatre setting for 1,800 guests within minutes.
