Went for the movies in the parking lot they were having on Fridays for the month of October. It was very easy to follow the directions they provided for you to get you into a spot to park. Had several guides pointing you in the right direction. Was very convenient that they had huge speakers for hearing the movie rather than like a traditional drive-in type movie where you tune to a specific radio channel. As well as prior to movie starting they were playing music and being very interactive with the crowd. A few food trucks were on site that had $5 deals going on but did not patron any of them since we brought our own goodies so not sure of cost of things. But nice knowing that something was available if necessary.They provided us with a trash bag, that was very convenient so I didnt have to make several trips to a garbage can.I would definitely do it again, it was a fun experience. Was nostalgic. It didnt cost anything. I just wish that it was available for more than a few weeks out of the year. It allows for social distancing but still gives a feel of interacting with others.

Been here for many shows with all types of music. Never a bad seat. Prefer not to sit in the grass, but some may consider it a good option. Come early to get best parking. Plan for the hike on the hill down. Handicapped parking is available. Ask. This will get you down to stage level- no hill. Parked above- they have carts to help you. Recommend purchasing rain ponchos just in case, but in a pinch they sell them too. Some shows have upgrades to purchase the closest parking spots. Venue sells food, beer, water, soda & mixed drinks. Cash or credit, but pricey.

Zozo 2020!!! Drive in style! Kind of night!

Really impressed with this place. Word of advice to get in can take a while recommended getting there an 1hr and half before the show starts. It can take a while to park and along with the walk to get in can be time consuming. The place is really nicely laid out , plenty of restrooms , vendors,food trucks and bars. Prices range but it is pricey to eat and drink here. There is not a bad seat on in this place

Great shows and friendly staff. Great concert line up year after year. However, parking and exiting can be a challenge and they need to rethink there parking procedures. Food is ok at best and alcohol and concert shirts are laughably over-priced. Still love it, however!

Great venue. Natural acoustical landscape for awesome sound. Take an uber and skip the traffic. Order the ride back early. Price goes up quickly for supply and demand, plan ahead.

The location of this amphitheater has beautiful sunsets but is very expensive once you are inside for drinks, souvenirs, or food. The bathrooms are highly efficient and mostly clean. Boober and lift lanes are available for easy drop off and pick up.

Prices for food and drink inside are extremely high, but that is to be expected for the place to make money, so bring a bottle of water with you. Unfortunately the amphitheater happens to face directly into the setting sun, so depending on the time of day and year some seats will be better than others. The closer you are the less this matters.

Took my daughter and her friend to see Florida Georgia Line. Great show and not an ordeal to get into the venue. This venue has improved in the last few years. They started off very militant about counting drinks, etc. Much more relaxed vibe now, but I appreciate. It is a concert. Lets have fun.

Venue is great all around, but I would recommend food and drinks prior to coming out. Food is expensive but whats even more INSANELY expensive (which doesnt make sense for a local venue to be charging do much) is the drinks. For cheap domestic beer 20oz youre looking to spend over 17 bucks just for one drink! Typically at other venues youre looking about 7 for domestic beer anywhere else.

Parking is about a 2. We are disabled and walking was not fun. Otherwise, the amphitheatre was good as always! Joan Jett and Heart were amazing!!!!

Great outdoor venue! Really enjoyed the show. Very organized.

Come earlier than you want. Its one lane in and one lane out. Once in its an old venue but beautiful sunset.

A bit pricey but overall worth it to go see a few shows here. I have seen everyone from Def Leppard to Fall Out Boy to Wiz Khalifa here and every single show was great, especially when Warped Tour went through here.

Great place to see a concert and nice views. Usually the weather is nice and there is covered seating also lawn seating which I believe max capacity is 16,000. Vendors that sell food, drinks, clothing and many other items during the concerts I have been to are very good. There are plenty of Port a potty areas. During the concert I went to they had VIP tents setup. One word of advise, when the concert is over the traffic to get out I can say was not good. I waited 20 plus minutes to leave the parking lot but then again with that many people maybe its common. Go there and enjoy a show or concert.

Iron Maiden were awesome and played perfectly. The show opened with Aces High as usual but this time a huge WWII fighter was over the stage. Pretty cool to see! Excellent line up of songs made for an awesome show!

This was our first time here, and Im already planning on the next trip! The setting is really great. I really like the open air venue. Really not a bad seat in the place. I was impressed at how many food and drink places there were! Plenty of walk around room, which is nice. Just a really great setting for this amphitheater! Cant wait to go back!

We went to see Dan and Shay, and Florida Georgia Line-great concert, wonderful weather the amphitheater has good seats not tiny seats with no leg room. And if you paid for premier parking it WAS WELL worth it. You didnt have to walk as far to get in, and it was way quicker when it was time to leave.

Great venue. Lawn seats with seat rental is well worth the money.

Great outdoor venue. Good parking. Nice views from anywhere. My only complaint is that if your show is on a windy day, sound is not that awesome but thats nothing compared to the artist performance.

Excellent concert venue in Albuquerque, allow extra time to get there and even more time to exit the venue, then even more time to exit the parking area. Parking was free with the concert ticket. Saw Imagine Dragons, what a great two hour performance. Seat was comfortable, even for a big guy like me.

They tell you at the gate to take screenshots of your tickets. There is NO service at the gate so make sure you take screen shots long before you get to the venue. The Ticketmaster app doesn’t allow you to take screenshots either so use the link in the email. This place is decent once you’re in but a nightmare to do so. The wrist bands for 21 and over are a good idea. It’s also nice that security guards don’t go hunting for pot smokers in the crowd. I guess times are a changin.

Here in Albuquerque we have few options when it comes to big name concerts but I was fortunate enough to see Mary J Blige with free tickets from my best friend. The venue was nice but the reason I’m giving two stars is accessibility to the venue and price of drinks which was absolutely ridiculous.

Great outdoor venue. Always have a blast here. Love the big screens, music is nice and loud, the way it should be

Not a terrible venue, but theres no way I can give more stars based on their unacceptable handicap accessibility! On many occasions, Ive had to ask for help from other concert-goers to push my brothers wheelchair down and up the massive ramp to enter/leave the venue. There is not enough handicap parking! Weve also had to complain to the venue and the ticket agencies about the difficulty to buy wheelchair accessible tickets-- and its STILL an issue! If a ticket is available to purchase for general admission/lawn, and equivalent product MUST also be available to those with disabilities! Period.

We recently went for Pentatonix concert on the lawn area. It is a decent-sized theater but I just wish they had more speakers at the back so people in the lawn area can enjoy the music better. Its not bad but theres room for improvement.

Great show, very friendly staff, but prices are outrageous. A green chili cheeseburger and small fries is $14. A large beer (20 oz, I think) and a large Sprite was $29.32...... Those are the prices before adding a tip. So, just be aware of the cost when you go to a show there. Nice venue, very friendly staff.

I dont know where these people get off try to charge $19 for a can of beer. Their prices skyrocket so much I can understand why people want to drink before the concert or just try to sneak and shot so they dont have to pay your exorbitant prices. Make a more affordable and youll end up selling out again.

Had an awesome time w/ my wife, seen Slayer for a third time, got a bit cold at the end of the show, just left.

Great place for evening concerts. You always get a great sunset. You can sit on the grass though you cant bring in your own lawn chair. It says that it is a no smoking venue, but a lot of people smoke in the lawn seating. I wish they enforced that better

Love coming here with my client for concerts. Most of the workers more then helpful with handicap. Makes me feel so great. Guest services are awesome with exchanging his tickets at a timely manner

Saw Ozzie Osborne here. Very quick ingress egress took some time though. Had very good seats. Friendly staff.

Beautiful amphitheater but traffic sucks when leaving the venue.

Ive loved this venue since it was the journal. But its definitely gotten better since Isletta took it over. Always a great place for a concert!

Meh.A bunch of really drunk people sitting on a hill..oh there is a concert going on. Hard to get in and afraid to leave (refer back to the really, really drunk people). And section identifiers in the parking lot would be good, tooIf we ever go again, we will pay for spot in the seat section.

Courteous, clean, professional. Good times all around

I love the concerts here. They should try to bring in more current headliners as well. Opening bands are pretty awesome, some Ive never heard of Im listening to now.

The place is an outdoor concert venue. It has ample viewing even from the lawn seats. There are plenty of facilities for restrooms, food and drinks. The parking is well organized. I recommend seeing an event here.

My family and I watched Iron Maiden from Pit 2 this week. We absolutely loved the outdoor settings, clean and beautiful space with great views and nice acoustics. The employees at the venue are friendly, processes were pretty speedy. The environment is down-to-earth. We ate before the show and didn’t bother with buying food there. Everything is laid out nicely (snack areas, t-shirt stands, etc), so it didn’t feel crowded or hectic. So grateful that Maiden played at the Isleta!!

Awesome sunset and place for live music. Cell service isnt good.

Breaking Benjamin was awesome! Great sound and plenty of room to find a good spot to watch the show! I would recommend this venue again.

Sec 9, Seat B5. Everything was great. Sprinkles of rain and distant lighting while we were there. Get there early for better parking. We parked far and walked quite a long distance. Had I been alone, I never would have found my way back to the car in the dark. If you take Uber or Lyft, there is special place right outside the entrance for drop off and pick up. Porta Potties only, but they were well maintained. The amphitheater and surrounding areas were clean and felt safe. Only downside was the lines. Long, slow lines at the entrance, the toilets, and concessions.

Loved this venue. The chairs have cup holders lol. Great place thanks

In terms of amphitheatre/stadiums or complexes for music venues, this particular venue is rather on a small, antiquated scale. Site location is quite advantageous to superb acoustics within a mile of the amphitheatre. The place has easy access parking with am ability and ease of access combining and going.. from parking, to short breaks on the nicely thought out, well manicured lawn seating, which is where we sat. Stage screen monitors are small and sparse, so thank goodness for sound quality. No covered seating and reserved seating is also very limited. This venue could use more popular bands, artists, performers to pay for a deserved overhaul and update.

Always a fun place to enjoy a concert sWish the prices were a little more family friendly .But still cant complain

First time going. KNOTFEST

Hot hot hot. No shade! Staff was very kind and helpful. Cold water refill stations were a life saver

Saw Dead and company here. nice venue!

It is a nice place

I loved my experience at isleta amphitheatre! There was plenty of parking with only a short walk to the venue, and they offer a shuttle for handicapped or senior!There isnt a bad seat in the house. I sat in the grass area, and with the slope of the hill your vision isnt blocked by the people in front of you. As for the sound...It was perfect! Even in the grass section it sounded perfect. Whoevers doing the sound...they deserve a raise! Leaving the venue...We were out of there in less than ten minutes!The only downsides were the prices of food and drinks, and they force you to rent their folding chairs. You cant bring your own.Im a senior on a limited income and that makes it hard to enjoy aconcert or even be able to afford to go at all. I would consider this, more people might go to yourconcerts if it was more affordable!

Beautiful venue and good pricing for lawn seats (you will not miss out). Must have a clear backpack and most drinks (including water) are about $10-20 PER DRINK!! Food is also very expensive. Bring extra toilet paper. Enjoy the acoustics and location of Isleta Amphitheater!

Standard amphitheater with decent acoustics and high drink prices. There is no covered seating so even people in seats will get wet if it rains (as it did when we were there). Efficient parking and traffic control for the way out.

Concerts are always great here, parking is easy (leaving not so much, but not Isletas fault) Facility is always really clean.

Im a 60 year old girl & my 1st experience visiting Isleta Amphitheater. I went alone, treating myself to a VIP box seat, which included entry into the VIP club with private bathrooms, 2 bands, small pre concert buffet dinner & VIP parking, for the Journey/Def Leppard concert on Sept 5, 2018. I was excited going VIP! Very easy to get to from Los Lunas & park. A bit of a walk from parking to Amphitheater but not as bad as exaggerations I previously read. Quick entry & guided easily to VIP Club. VIP box sat 6. Identical seating for 3 each side, bar style tables firmly attached to rail W/ private drink wells, so drinks dont spill, tall bar stools & service call buttons for each table.Spacious & inviting VIP Club W/good bands. Private bathrooms very convenient instead of long walk & lines at Portal Potty.Buffet consisted of a salad, BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, red beans & a cookie. Delicious but developed bad heartburn. Walked entire venue, went to medical and VIP services w/no antacids anywhere!! Surprised with all the crazy food it sells, they didnt sell at least Tums! I was heartbroken but grateful because I was in so much pain whenabout 5 songs into Journeys set they stopped because of wind, concert eventually canceled & rescheduled for Sept 18th!It was a great venue, but I gave it only 3 stars because of#1- They should have provided, SOME KIND of antacids or Tums SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE on the property, even in Medical for God sake!#2 - Poor VIP Customer Relations! When you pay $250 for a VIP ticket, you want to feel at least a little special & that your presence is somewhat appreciated! Being greeted by a smile makes a big difference in whether you want to come back or not! Everyone wants to be a little bit appreciated & the girl at VIP services clearly showed that was the last place in the World she wanted to be at that moment & that you just being there bothered her.#3- Poor customer Service. convenient server call buttons arent convenient if servers dont respond! Pressed it 3 times with in 1/2 an hour & she was leaning against the wall talking to someone the whole time. I asked if button worked, she said Yeah it works, Why did you want something? Isleta Amphitheatre, come on, REALLY!? is this the people you want interacting with your customers!!?? I think not! My husband & I were blown away by the amazing entertainment you provide but are reconsidering buying season VIP box seats next year. Why buy VIP if youre not treated VIP ?

Excellent customer service. Great views. Terrific sound. Awesome lineup. Lawn isnt on too steep an incline. Great place for live music. Parking? Getting on. No problem. Getting out? Sheesh. Absolute nightmare. Surely they could hire staff to flag/steer traffic at the row level, not just at the main exit?????

The setting sun hits you right in the face but the sunset is a beautiful

I actually love this place, its affordable its spacious, the bathrooms are clean, the food and drinks options are wide and it doesnt disappoint Even though its a bit pricey. There is a couple of things that might taint your experience though, one, the traffic when you leave the venue after a concert can be ridiculous, 2, if it rains they never have enough ponchos to sell, 3, idk who the sound guys are but sometimes the sound is off and you are sitting on lawn its even worse, this are things I doubt they have any control of but they can happen so you been warned, besides that, I dont like going to other concert venues anymore because Isleta has some killer sunsets on the background, its breathtaking and its overall my favorite place to enjoy music in Albuquerque

This is a fun place to go see your favorite Entertainer, but if you go in the summer be sure to take a lot of water and an umbrella for shade!

Awesome venue for a wide variety of concert performers with plenty of space to move around, not cramped, not shoulder to shoulder type venue

Went to the very first concert here when it was mesa del sol.. steely dan

I love going to concerts. Being a blind individual I do not get to play video games, or enjoy the movies as thoroughly as others around me. I do however, enjoy music. I listen to everything literally absolutely everything. This was one of those really nice evenings. I enjoyed the show. Sound quality was awesome. I just wish that they were not so awkward in dealing with a blind / visually impaired individual. It is already awkward enough without people making it more Awkward.

Concerts are always great at Isleta Amphitheater.. I want to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH , to the Staff and Lost and found. And especially to the person who turned in my wallet.. I was very shocked and surprised that it was there.. Honest , respectable staff. I am much appreciative to all of you....God Bless you all and Thank you so much....CgarciaLasCruces..

Really nice venue. Has two screens on either side of the stage, so people in the back can see as well. Section 1 is really close to the stage, it is just outside of the general admission pit. Would definitely go here again for another show.

This is definitely one of my favorite venues! Beautiful views while you’re listening to the concert and all the seats are good! Love this place!

Great venue ! Wonderful concert ! Joan Jett & Heart really rocked the house !

The amphitheatre is one of the best outdoor venues is New Mexico. Great places to dance and the lawn seats are good for the price they are. However one thing to note is the cost of drinks here is obscene. $13.50 was the cost of one beer.

Everything about this place is uniquely designed to take your money.

This is the best amphitheater because it can have almost 1,000 people in the concert. I believe it is the best theater in the whole state of New Mexico.

Large outdoor venue for concerts. Lots of walking involved from parking lots to seats. The seats on sides do not provide good views of stage but grass area does and is less expensive but you may need to rent chair if you dont want to bring your own blanket. Speakers have a bit of feedback issue but not too bad. Plenty of food and drinks available in all directions but a bit on pricey side. You can bring in sealed water bottles.

Super loud and great rock venue. From the pit to the lawn offers great entertainment viewing experience. Cons-Existing venue is a hassle.

Awesome venue for concerts.. beautiful views of the sunset.. easy to find.

Great Concert but this venue is out in the sticks and very difficult to get out of after the event.

Very nice place had a great time

I just love this venue for concerts. Albuquerque has beautiful weather and it is really a great place to enjoy your favorite artists.! I prefer seats but I have also enjoyed from the lawn.

Good place for shows. Im glad they finally installed better portable bathrooms. Good food vendors. Overpriced food and drinks, per usual for events like this

We really love this place it was very smooth going in and out. You feel safe there and security was good. The seeds wherever you said you can see the show. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. They have food. And no matter where youre sitting theres easy access to anywhere you need to go restroom they want to do a walk-around. And theyre lighting on the theater is awesome.

Great venue to see bands. Would be 5* however merchandising booths need better organizing cuz the queues are crazy to buy merch. Maybe more booths are required to flow easier & quicker

TOP DAWG ENT... Great show!!

Great venue! Vendors inside for food and drink options. The traffic flow wasn’t that bad. Great security on the front gate that was thorough and efficient.

Its a nice venue but prices for food and drinks are rediculous, youre basically not allowed to bring in any types of bags or anything. Theres NO SHADE anywhere and the tried to charge us for ice. They definitely need to find some misting fans or create some sort of shade for hot summer days

Awesome place to catch live events!! Have been coming here for years. Caught Godsmack, Journey, Def Leppard, Stone Sour and Ozzy Osbourne this summer. Nice!

What a cool venue. Its like our beloved Pine Knob (DTE Energy pavilion), only without the covered area.The acoustic are excellent! We came here to enjoy Mumford and Sons. Also seeing Catfish and the Bottlemen.

I love going to shows at the Iselta Amphitheater. These folks know what their doing. They make going to a large show easy. They are so well organized. They have portapotties as well as flushing toilets. Plenty of snacks and drinks (although they are a little pricey) and the staff is friendly and helpful. Its one of my favorite venues.

If you can afford it always go VIP to this place. Its the only way to go. Best parking, free food, private bar, best seats and quickest way out after the show. We went to knotfest which was amazing.

Nice view during sunset and the live music makes for a nice evening out with good company.

Great venue but drinks are Crazy high. Ill drink in parking lot like others do.

Totally a state art facility! Enjoy attending concerts there and plenty of vendors that sell food. A perfect place to get your money worth for an event!

Great venue. Easy to get in/out. Not a bad seat in the house.

I t was a nice experience, but food and beer prices were outrageous

Very nice facility as amphitheatres go. Lots of food choices, nice restroom area. Will definitely be back

KISS and venue serviceIsleta Amphitheater - AlbuquerqueKiss was amazing! Just like stepping back to the late seventies. Felt like a teenager again. But more so the customer service I received at the venue was over the top. I broke my foot prior to the show and was in a wheelchair. Stephanie and Champagne went out of their way to accommodate us, escorting us directly to great seats and even checking on us throughout the concert to make sure everything was good. We were all really amazed at the leve of compassion and truely caring that we had a great experience. I have shared our story with all of our friends because it is acts like this that help restore our faith in humanity. Also, the young man at the customer service window who called Stephanie was extremely helpful and caring. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Breaking Benjamin made their headline and it was legendary! Three Days Grace arrived with them and performed parts of their new album and some old ones like Pain. There were 4 bands but those two are the ones I went for.

Great venue to come to. Parking is great and it was free. Awesome being able to sit so close to the stage.

Great place to catch a rock concert. Went to see chevelle, breaking benjamin, and 3 days grace. It was awesome. Reminds me of the mckelligon canyon ampitheater in El Paso which is nicer, but waaaaay smaller.

This is a small but extremely accommodating amphitheater nestled on the side of a cliff outside of Albuquerque it’s small size about 14,000 makes it a perfect spot because everybody get a good seat And don’t let it fool you some big numbers play there the scenery around it is quite stunning and if you like 4 x 4 or atv’s you’re right next to a perfect wonderland extremely challenging hill climbs and trails

A great venue for concerts and performances, despite the inflated prices on food and drink. Also, if you have a digital ticket, make sure you upload it and/or take a screenshot of it before going down the hill to the gate, as the reception is very spotty. However, acoustics, lighting, and seating are usually pretty good.

Definitely a nice venue, unfortunately my first visit happened on a day that it was none stop rain for at least five hours straight. But definitely going back in September to give it another try.

Great spot for a concert, but they need to do something about the bottleneck trying to get out after the shows.

Great place for music events, consider that seats are very close within each other, people standing up can block your view. Consider this when buying event tickets, plenty port a potties and food selection.

Great venue, good seats in all sections!
