Pretty beautiful place between the hills, open arena with nice view on the city. Good parking lot. I was there at the For King and Country concert. If you wanna experience something unusual go there.

I always have the best time hereGetting in is pretty painless, and the food and drinks are great.. I always get VIP and a box seat, which I love.. it has great views all around, easy in and out easy to locate restrooms..

Im not a big fan of most outdoor venues. We go to a lot of shows and Id rather see a band at almost any other indoor venue. If I absolutely had to go see a show outdoors it would be at the Greek in Berkeley. Concord is however WAY better than the Shoreline. Better weather, better parking, better seating and WAY more convenient - especially since I live in Walnut Creek.We saw Sammy Hagar there last night. It was pretty awesome. Such a long list of really great songs. Ive seen him more than a few times and hes such a great performer. Theres no such thing as a bad Sammy show! It didnt hurt being in the second row. Awesome!

Rad venue for live music and having a blast with your friends or family. Every seat is greAt, sound is clear, views are mad. I totally endorse this venue.

All in all its a decent place to rock out. Though it is looking a little old now and days

OMGeverything about this experience was epic. Went for H.E.R. Lights on Festival and had a blast. The seating was wonderful the customer service was amazing. The energy that I felt in the building was beyond powerful. The vibes that took place will be a vibe for life. Love the RnB kick that came across the stage. .

Superb evening with live jazz from some of the greatest. Peaceful and very memorable for me personally. I got my Release !!!! Lots of fun and laughs and familiar faces all over the place. Praise God!!!!

Seen a few shows here. Cool venue. Lawn isnt bad, the barricade isnt bad. Altogether, I can find nothing wrong with the place. Granted, bring some sunscreen if are there for a summer show. Theres not a lot of shade around.

Great venue. Warning: Be sure to note EXACTLY where you park, so you will find your vehicle when its dark. The lots are not well lit. Count rows from that row in which you parked to the last row by the entrance.

Arrive 1- 2 hours before your show. Google will grid lock you into horrible traffic. Food stands need more assistance when a large performance is showing. Will wait over 30 min in food line if you dont arrive early or get food when lines are short and miss some of the artist performing. Lawn area is.nice and comfy. You cant see the artist performing close up but you can see a body. Try to buy better tickets. Plenty of restroom space for all even wheelchair accessible. Lots of booths for beer wine shots memorabilia being sold. Plenty of seating all through the venue including wheelchair seating. There is shuttles and carts that can take you from your car up to the main gate.

Great medium sized venue, pretty location in the golden hills, isolated but close to town.

Concord Pavilion is great! Shuttle to the gate and back to the car after. Bathrooms are clean and kept stocked. Great place for a concert!!

Stone Soul 2019, amazing! So much fun! Its an outdoor arena, but they let you bring blankets and food if you want , they didnt charge for parking which is kinda dicey with this many people but its a GREAT time!

Lots of different food and vendors with cleanliness. Great bands perform here

Nice location, friendly staff and great line up. Jazz Festival 2019

Wonderful venue Ive seen many great shows here and Im from Oregon and I fly to California to attend!

Been here for tons of metal shows, but its always a great experience. The staff is chill as long as youre respectful.

Beautiful view from the Pavillion also found out there is parking and shuttle offered so it made the whole evening so much more easier

A venue with a long history and a comfortable place to see top name entertainment.I cant recall the last time I saw a concert here if at all. So here is my take. Just to give you my perspective, I spent many years in live performance situations as a professional. I am not a performer. I know when things are good and not good.I thought the show itself was pretty good but suffered some in the area of sound and food production.Visually the show was good except for the lack of curtains to hide the ever present road boxes stage left. I did not mind the monitor mixing board, that is part of the show. But really, time to designate a place for road boxes out of sight. This is production 101.As for the mix, both the opening act and the headliner solo mics were EQd so bad, it sounded like mush. I could not here lyrics above the band and the between song patter was unclear! Big improvement needed here.I save the food service and quality for last. The beer was good.I tried a hotdog and had to wait 10 minutes to get it. This was during the opening act and literally no one in line yet for the change-over rush.There is a lot of room for improvement here. Or maybe it was a bad night for the production company.

So beautiful here. Nature at its best. Still CA protected and free

I love the Concord Pavilion. I’ve seen countless shows there. It’s a beautiful amphitheater nestled in the hills. Very clean with great security. Never had a problem there ever.

This is an outstanding venue to see a concert or two at. The acoustics are outstanding and gives you a feeling of intimacy with the performance.The only downside is that its a pain to get to and the parking lot was full and lots of cars still needing to park. We parked on a side street and walked about a mile to the parking lot. Then another considerable distance to the venue gates.

I went to the concert of my life here. I am from Los Angeles. And my husband and I drove up here to celebrate by our wedding anniversary. If I could stay in Concord I would. Its a beautiful place.

Be prepared to know which entrance to walk up after you park, they have a AAA Fast Lane entrance that allows for quicker entry through the gates, you just need to show your AAA Auto Insurance card. Also, do not stray from the line when you are in the parking lot and they are herding you to a specific area, they will make you get back in line. While inside the venue, do not get discouraged if you see a line at the ladies restroom, it moves really fast! This venue is very efficient! The seating is amphitheater seating and the sound quality is always good here.

Great venue, just like the shoreline ampitheatre but more intimate. Parking is so easy and convenient and the lines to get into the venue arent even long. The walk from the parking area to the venue isnt far at all, like some other reviewers have said. Four stars only because drinks and food inside is so expensive, and they cant even provide straws for the lemonade. What the hell? Eight dollars for a freaking lemonade which they provide a lid for, but no damn straw. I went there in August and in September and both times, same thing. Other than that, awesome venue! I wish more artists played there, and if I lived closer Id be there as often as I could. Love the concord pavilion! I was in the pit both times, which I highly recommend because you are literally an arms reach away from the stage and the artists. Take a look at the awesome pic I shot of marilyn manson!

Other than it being so hot it was a very nice venue. Went to the Lights On festival and saw so really great performers. Will be back for the Lights on festival next year!

One of the better pavilion venues that Ive been to! I sat in the upper level seating, which mainly was in the shade. The sound system and amplification was quite good, the speakers were set up well to really reach the back. Parking was quite spacious (I ended up parking away at the Cal State parking lot for the Lights On HER Festival, which I regret because the shuttles took a long time)

Great venue for music... even the lawn seating had a good view. The foot traffic pattern behind the lawn seating, however, became congested due to the bathroom lines mixed with the lines to concessions. There must be a better way to route lines to the restrooms...

I had an amazing time. But whenever I go I must get a seat and not sit on the lawn. The great benefit is you can bring your own food and they also have some amazing options. Of course its a venue so the prices tend to be a couple of dollars more than you would normally spend but a lot of it is definitely worth it. It was a warm day but it was alright for me because I have some in the shade. A bit of criticism is the parking it wasnt very organized and I was with someone that was handicapped so they had a spark on top of the hill instead of the flat surface near the entrance which didnt make any sense to me.

We had a great time - hadnt been to a concert at the Pavillion in several years! Mid-range aisle seats were great. Liked the bottle wine option. Cleanest public restrooms Ive ever seen!

Had a awesome time at the twins of evil tour! Easy place to navigate and Im definitely going to see more shows there yee yee!

Great venue for around 12,000. But without any traffic control, it takes way too long to get into the parking area. Loved bypassing the crowd at the main gate by using the AAA card to enter through the VIP gate ^_^

Here to see Heart live and in concert with Joan Jett. Bought our tickets well ahead of time in the reserved area where you can order food and beverages and have them brought to your little table. Seats were in the center and close enough to stage where you can see & appreciate the performances. Always good sound and not overwhelming like large venues!

Close, convenient, cheap tickets for seats and we enjoyed the reserved lawn seating!!!

I dont give many 5 stars, read on. Concord Pavillion is a nice venue but of coarse it has the same problems other ampatheatres in the north state have: traffic jams getting in, traffic jams getting out, and food and alcohol that cost more than repairing your car. BUT... the great thing about Concord is, THEY LET YOU BRING IN YOUR OWN FOOD AND DRINKS! There are some stipulations (see their website), but not many places do that anymore. Thats fantastic for a family on a budget that wants to enjoy a show once in a while. And if youre coming from Sacramento use I-5 and go through Isleton and Antioch. SOOO much quicker and less stressful than I-80/680, and a pretty ride to boot.

Went to see Spirit West Coast concert and had an awesome day!

Nice place for concerts. I really liked the lay out, the facilities, parking, close to the freeway. The price if beer/drinks is ridiculous. Way high! Prices of alcohol not comparable to other venues. You cant bring your own alcohol which I understand. Food price comparable to other venues. Alcohol price is the only reason they get knocked down 2 stars.

Great place for a concert the lawn seats are the best being your food and blanket

Nice venue. Come prepared to walk though as it is spread over a large area and quite hilly with has lots of stairs. There is an elevator down to the seats on the left side of the stage. Walk around to the left when you enter the main or side gates to get to it.

I love that even though its outdoor, there is no smoking in the seats or grass

Nice venue. Expensive but all concerts are. If you are on the lawn you cant see anyone on the stage until they put the screens on at night. Seats are a little cramped if you are a bigger person. I come here a lot for concerts and lawn you bring chairs and blanket you got a concert in the park.

Been in both seats and in the field. Seating isnt bad, but chairs are hard an plastic. Very similar to Shoreline Amphitheatre (if anyone has been there before) Comfortable venue, and cheap beer.

This place is Great. Its nice to see a concert so close to wear we live. Just bring lots of money. $45.00 for concert t-shirt. $17.00 for a Sierra Nevada Beer & $10.00 for garlic fries.

Its a awesome place for the concert

First time there and LOVED IT! Staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely go again. I felt safe with the protection there, it was just enough to where you didnt feel over watched.

Nice place for music. Good acoustics

Very easy access from where we parked (we used AAA access). Food and plenty of drink were available for purchase. We saw Peter Frampton farewell tour and it was amazing!

Great venue for family and friends, they have something to accommodate everyone. The VIP upgrade is well worth the money spent. The staff that WE dealt with was above and beyond service oriented. FANTASTIC venue great staff, all and all a very good experience! Despite the over priced drinks.

#KBLXSTONESOUL2018Just an amazing event!

Long uphill hike to the actual venue which wasnt too bad. Nicely laid out. Does get a bit cold at night going into september so be prepared. Also only the middle third is covered so check the weather to make sure it wont rain or youll for sure get wet

Cake with Ben Folds...the Best!!!

Great venue for live music. I strongly suggest not attending on a weekday unless you arrive very early and/or take public transportation. Free on site parking. One of the few places you can bring in your own food.

A casual venue with beautiful views. Great sound and a good mix of musical genres. Bring an extra blanket especially if on the lawn. It gets windy and cold!

First time I tried out one of the private boxes. It was nice and worth the extra money. Ill be back!

This place was a Nightmare trying to get parked, and through the gates. Be prepared to wait an hour unless you are will to fork out money for the fast lane. While inside you will enjoy long lines for absolutely everything you want to do, the facilities just werent mean to handle a sold out crowd. 2 stars because leaving was the best, fastest, and easiest way out

$16 for a beer? So, If you would only start selling Marijuana, are you going to charge $25.00 for 1 tiny joint? Besides that, this place is tight. The sunset is beautiful.

Great concert venue. The only negative was the driving in and out of the parking lot took forever because they make you park so close to each other and leave no exit routes if you need to leave early. Makes it so you cant leave until concert is over and everyone else around you moves.

We had fun in the lawn seating area.

Great place for graduation. Easy to get to, traffic directors were courteous and helpful. Well kept area ...clean.

Nice, good sized open air concert venue. Just went to see a show here and expected that like everywhere else in the Bay Area I was going to need at least $20 for parking on top of the concert ticket cost. Nope! Free parking! Can remember the last time I didnt have to pay an outrageous price for parking at an event. Pretty quick getting in and out as well.

Gorgeous place with a view of the surrounding mountains. Went there to see the Breaking Benjamin concert a couple days ago, and the sound was of pretty good quality. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that despite the No Smoking signs everywhere, many people within the area were smoking, which is a problem when you have an Asmatic mother. I asked security to help, and they did, but given the number of people smoking, they could only do so much. Better enforcement of the no smoking rule in the future would bump this rating up to five stars.

My first visit..in 32 years!! Outstanding!! Jazz festival was great! Ill be back..Ive returned home. So many memories..but memories to make, moving forward.

That was a great time Whites all Peter Frampton that was a great show

Love going to here for concerts. Went here last for the Femme to Fatale concert. Had a great time bought thought it could have been better organized to get in. Waited too long and never had a problem before

Stone soul 2019 had a great time

I went to a Breaking Benjamin concert at the concord pavillion and it was an awesome place. All the staff I came in contact was so nice and friendly. I watched a lady buy a beer and right when she turned around she dropped it all on the floor. Some sweet gentlemen that was helping with a condiment station stopped her took her back to the window and had them give her another beer. It was the sweetest thing. I would definitely recommend going to a other concert here.

It was great, paying was free - just had to walk a little. No need to purchase premier unless you absolutely have to. Was able to bring in a cooler with water, food, and snacks!

Been here twice now and I love it! Clean, secure with helpful staff! I look forward to the next time I get to go back!

Went to hot summer nights sept 1st which was sold out. Went through the AAA fast track line, Ended up waiting in line for an hour in 98 degree weather while general admission was moving faster than what we were. People were having heat strokes the live nation staff did not care didnt want to call EMS for people who were passing out and continued to take their sweet precious time checking in bags when people are literally fainting in line. My overall experience of the concert was great but live nation needs to do a better job of hiring their staff. customer service is everything and they failed to provide exceptional service.

Had a fantastic time with the wifey at the comedy get down! Dont remember if Ive ever been here as a kid but it seemed familiar. The grass seating was close enough to the stage 2 have a good view and still have the freedom to stretch out and relax. There is one thing I can definitely recommend improving upon is the big screens on either side of the stage. They seem outdated and quality of picture is lacking but it was not bad enough to warrant less Stars.

It has decent accustics. Its a smaller Amphitheatre, so your a little bit closer to the stage. Lawn area is not as steep as some others that Ive been to. But theres one thing you need to know, bring a warm jacket, it gets damn cold, even in the middle of summer and the temperature was 90°something that day.

Friendly staff who knows what theyre doing and helpful. Was fairly easy getting in and out.

Friendly staff. Security was on point. Shuttles made good time

33 yrs Lynard skinnerd was awesome 50 yrs ZZ Top

I think it is important that people know this is an outside venue. I have been here many times and do believe, in general, that this is a hidden gem. Parking is free and they do the traffic management wonderfully here. You can get out in ten minutes usually. The bathrooms are clean and they have many on either side. The food and drink stations are plenty. It is generally shaded and a nice breezy. I would recommend an evening concert here anytime!I went to my first day concert and I was NOT impressed. It was 95 degrees and the line took one and a half hours to get in with no shade, no water, no seating for disabled. It was a nightmare and people were not well. There were only 2 ppl checking tickets and in security for the FAST AAA line. They need to plant trees or put in a shade cover. Put up solar panels as cover and generate your own power for the lights in the parking lot! Im not sure I would ever go back for a day concert here in the summer. Signage should be better, it was hard to tell what line to go to. They should have water vendors outside the gates as well. The summers are only going to get hotter so they need to figure it out ASAP!

This is a great venue. Im short, and even when people in front were standing, I didnt feel like I was behind a wall. :-)The open air style made for comfortable concert going, even while others around us were indulging in vices that I didnt want to share.

They really need to figure out what they are doing with the lines and would be nice to have known girls could not bring purses in before we got there!

Like any other venue PARKING is a b!t#h (Half paved and half dirt roads, but they do offer golf cart shuttles). Pavillion itself has a nice set up and honestly the LAWN seatings are the best for comfort and easy access to bathrooms. Facilities were clean and attendants were prompt and efficient. Food and Beverage booths were as expected (pricey like a down payment for a house, hahaha). You are ALLOWED to bring in SOFT coolers with food and drinks.

Great venue. Parking lot could use some upgrading. Great sound and seating!

Awesome venue!! Cheap ticket upgrades.

The venue was nice and the concert was great BUT the roads going in and out are AWFUL!! It took us 45 minutes to take a UBER that was 1 mile away from our hotel. Improve the traffic flow and Ill come back.

Awesome venue. Lots of parking. And just seems more comfortable than Shoreline.

Great once you get inside for the actual event. But the entry points are SO slow!! And you have to walk uphill. Also, the traffic to park is absurd. I understand a lot of people are going to the event, but everything is bottlenecked.

I loved this place the concert was amazing! And their vodka lemonade was delicious.. Expensive but very good.

They are extremely friendly, and helpful. They offer shuttles from and to not only your car if needed, but also the Bart Station. Both, btw, completely free as a courtesy!! And, its a great place to work as well!!!

Best place for concert ever love the outdoors

Variety of shows offered. Attentive staff. Plenty of woman bathroom stalls with signs showing vacancy or occupied. Bathrooms dont stock feminine products nor provide warm water for hand washing. For sanitary purposes, females need warm water

This is a nice place, but felt that the lawn seats were better place to be than the seats. Even though it was much further.

Food is too expensive and trying to get out of parking lot was horrible. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to premium parking. They have less people directing traffic after a concert than they do before the concert and people were trying to make their own lanes and moving barricades to get out.

Venue is great...once you finally get there on a single road in. We left the show early because we didnt want to get caught in the exit traffic. Great and accommodating staff.

The show was fantastic. All the Artist was Great. Im so ready today for day two. Stephanie Mills here I come. I fell in love with her the very first time is seen her in the Wiz. I have been a Big Fan of hers every since. Im looking forward to having a great time today. I will be back year after year. Not to mention the beef hot dogs was delicious

This venue is great! Outdoor seating plus a grass area. Super chill. The drinks are pricey, but the bartender hooked it up... So it balanced out

Great venue! Like a mini Shoreline. The ONLY problem is that its 1000 miles from everywhere else in the Bay Area. Fun once ur there!

I enjoy concerts at the concord pavilion, main downfall is the traffic getting in to park. Shouldve taken us 1hr 40 min to get there, We left 3 hours early and were so late we only heard 1 1/2 songs from the opening band! Other than that, its great!

Good parking. Easy access to venue vendors and restrooms. Great sound.

Awesome place to go to a concert in the summertime. And the hills in the background of the stage makes a cool backdrop to the show when the sun goes down.

We loved the concert. Had a great time. Venue was clean and well cared for.

Nice location. I like that theres a grass area you can enjoy from concert from. Best part is that youre allowed to bring your own food and drinks

Went to a Deftones concert in June 2017 and it was awesome. Had so much fun with my boyfriend and family.

1st time at the venue seemed nice. Not as hot as expected or predicted.Like all public venues.. $18 beer
