Velour Live Music Gallery (often just Velour) is a music venue, on University Avenue, in Provo, Utah. Velour is owned by Corey Fox. It acts as an all-ages music venue catering to an eclectic mix of genres. It is also a smoking and alcohol free environment.[1]

Neon Trees (Mercury) credit Velour as their home venue which helped launch their career.[2] [3] [4] Other artists who similarly hold this same sentiment include major label artists Imagine Dragons (Interscope), Fictionist (Atlantic),[5] Isaac Russell (Columbia),[6] and notable folk singer Joshua James.[7] Other Utah artists have hailed the work of Corey Fox and the value of Velour Live Music Gallery including internet sensation Lindsey Stirling, Truman Brothers[8] and The Used (Hopeless).[9] Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees are both past winners of the Velour Battle of the Bands.

BYUtv indie music show AUDIO-FILES has had multiple episodes filmed at Velour including episodes featuring Imagine Dragons, Joshua James, Damien Jurado, and others.
