Raleigh Amphitheater

Just steps away from the Raleigh Convention Center–with the Center's famous Shimmer Wall looking over it–is the Raleigh Amphitheater.

Since opening on June 4, 2010, Amphitheater has become a beacon for live entertainment in the Southeast. Only a few blocks from the fun and energy of downtown Raleigh's bars, clubs, galleries and restaurants, this 5,000-seat venue blends the state-of-the-art with the simply convenient.

The Amphitheater features include:

• A cutting-edge stage and sound system
• 60,000 lbs. of rigging capacity
• Four nearby parking garages
• Just steps from the Raleigh Convention Center and the Progress Center for the Performing Arts
• Access through the R-Line, Raleigh's free, eco-friendly electric bus service
• Locally loved foods from Empire Eats, including fresh barbecue, burgers and snacks
• Local brews by Lone Rider and Carolina Brewery, among others

The Raleigh Amphitheater has showcased acts like Maroon 5, Stone Temple Pilots, Vampire Weekend, Paramore, Chelsea Handler, Heart, Barenaked Ladies and the North Carolina Symphony.

The Raleigh Amphitheater books acts through an agreement with Live Nation, and is owned and operated by the City of Raleigh. The Amphitheater's season currently runs from April through October.
