Great venue! Awesome sound and screen, for the lawn people as we were called. Not by the venue, by a very inconsiderate person. But the severe weather plan was good, if only people listened. I enjoyed my experience but if you dont plan on tailgating, be prepared to pay $25 for 1 mixed drink, $16 for a double shot, and $20 for a vodka lemonade. We are seeing more shows next month and I couldnt be more excited.

Great venue for music in the Summer time. You get through the ticket lines quickly and there are plenty of CLEAN bathrooms. Everyone gets a great view of the stage and the music can be heard by all. They have plenty of beverages, expensive so be prepared to pay $20 for a mixed drink or $15 for a large beer. There are some cheaper $5 beers. All in all they have great artists come to play and make sure their guests are safe if there is a storm. It stinks when a concert is canceled but safety first. I cant wait for this years line up!

This place is amazing! It was our first time at this venue to see Florence and the Machine! It was amazing! The venue is well-managed, clean, and the sound quality was awesome! The food and drink options are readily available, and the lines stayed pretty short! It was amazing! We would definitely make the drive to come here again!

I bought tickets for a show at the box office and the show was cancelled due to Covid (no problem of course). However, over the past 7 weeks Ive been back to the box office 2x and they are closed, I submitted online requests for contact 3x with no response. Their phone number only has a recording so you can not get through, they say to call Live Nation and I did that but Live Nation cant help me because I bought my tickets at the box office, they did send a request to Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek on my behalf requesting for someone to reach out to me but no one responded.I am out $740 with no way to contact them or confirm that theyll be sending a refund, its been 7 weeks and I cant even get in touch with them. I would LOVE for anyone with this company to contact me directly and resolve this issue. My next step needs to be a BBB complaint I guess, Im not going to just let this go since its a lot of money outstanding.

Had the BEST experience at the Coastal Credit Union Music Pavilion watching FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE (cant say I aint country tour)! The staff were very polite and respectful! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great time at a concert!

Great facility. Under the cover they have huge fans to keep air moving. They upped the size of the lawn seats you can carry in and increased the amount of water you can carry in to a gallon per person. Parking is included in ticket price, nice. Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Exiting is quick. Great job all around.

Concerts here are best enjoyed in the lawn section, don’t waste your money for a seat. Some of the most fun I’ve ever had happened at this place, highly recommend!

Went to see the Tom Joyner One More Time Experience and it was a great show. My 1st time at this venue and I live the sight lines and video monitors they have. No bad seat in the house. Cant wait for the next one.

It’s nice to find an amphitheater with as many local and quality food and beverage choices. There really isn’t a bad seat. Only downfall can be parking but given the amount of people I think they manage it well. They don’t have ice cream however which given how hot it can be that would be a wonderful addition.

Great outdoor Amphitheater, food trucks/stands with chicken pizza, burgers, the normal fast food options but very expensive. Do what others did bring your own or stop and bring fast food and eat in parking lot. Of under the pavilion large fans keep you cool. Nice clean bathrooms as well, no port-a-potties. Overall a great place, and a huge complex.

7/5/2018Came to this venue for the Imagine Dragons Concert. They had a weather delay so we ended up waiting outside for an hour before getting inside the venue. All of that was understandable. Once we got inside this place was absolutely packed to the brim! We were packed in the lawn area like sardines!I first went to get pretzels and water. Unfortunately the pretzels were stale and costs $5 each. Ate them anyways and then went to get two slices of pizza which was good. The prices were what I expected so no surprise. I would recommend this venue just get there early to avoid massive lines!

The concert was good, the parking staff were well organized when everyone was entering and leaving the facility. The price of food/drinks were outrageous though. Grace VanderWaal opened for Imagine Dragons.

Great venue to watch a concert. We sat in the grass and view was excellent. We were able to bring a bottle water, lawn chair and blankets into arena. Come early for best open admission seating. Can tailgate in parking. At our event we had to park at the nearby softball lots. You need to cross under highway through dark tunnel. Recommend walking with crowds on way home in the dark.

Took a backstage tour! Highly recommend ~ got to see everything that goes on here including speaking with employees on events! Very informative and wonderful hospitality from staff! Enjoy the scenic pics!

Love, love, love this venue. Not a bad seat anywhere, even the lawn! Parking is usually fairly efficient, as well. Food and beverages are expensive, but that is common at venues like this.

We just moved here and saw Our first concert here. Willy Nelson. We absolutely loved this place! Lots of little bars, food, and fresh air! You can even tailgate before the show here! We will be back many times I’m sure!

Parking was better than I expected, and was directed well to avoid long delays when leaving. Venue is large enough, easy to navigate, and the sound reaches the back pretty well. The lawn is sloped forward so you can still see the stage from the back, and there are enough large screens to see the close up views. We saw 311 and the prices were great for the experience.

The Royalty concert with Mary J. Blige and Nas was GREAT. Maximum Capacity

Little out of the way, but its great that general parking is free. The lawn isnt a bad seat at all, but remember to bring your blanket or chair. Food is like every other concert venue. Expensive. They do have a family section where drinking and smoking isnt allowed, which is nice. Pro tip: If you are in the lawn but want to upgrade your tickets, look for an attendant wearing a yellow staff shirt. They sometimes have free upgrades. Just ask.

My wife and I always love going to Walnut Creek (Coastal Credit Union Music Park). Nice venue. Great music. Fun crowds.

Wonderful outdoor music arena which is fantastic, ONCE YOU GET IN! One road in to the park results in significant traffic back ups entering the park. Be sure to leave plenty early if seeing a popular artist. Took us an hour and a half to get in from 5 miles away. Totally missed the opening act.

I cant address the parking as I left early, getting in was a breeze. Anyone complaining about the walk needs to get to the gym. Im old and fat and made it just fine. No signs to the different lots so if youre directionally challenged like me, good luck. Attendendants helped me however. I wouldnt waste money on VIP parking in my experience. Normal isnt that bad. Lot of tailgaters. Go early and make a day of it.The VIP seating is good if youre in the front row. I posted a pic of the big fathead in front of me blocking the whole stage. The at table wait service was cool, nice server. I guess theyre owned by companies but I got a resale ticket.Even in VIP the big screens offered a better view but the camera person wasnt good at deciding what to show when and how to frame it. Mostly saw guitar pickups during ZZ Top. So lawn probably isnt that bad. Cant see the stage directly but you have the big screens back there too.Drinks and food are definitely expensive. I ate before I went but the smell overcame my tight wallet. The tater tot/corn dog thingy was big and good. The Corn dogs are horrible as leftovers.

Get seats in the front well worth the money

Another great concert! Appreciate being able to rent chairs for the lawn.

Its got most of the things you could want in an outdoor venue, however, if you pay for one of the seats youll be sorely disappointed. The seats are both highly uncomfortable, and are not at all offset (like traditional theater seating), meaning that youll be looking at the back of someones head the entire time. This is especially problematic since, as an outdoor venue, people with long hair are far more likely to wear an up-do, leaving you to stare at a dark tower instead of the stage.My advice, bring your own chair and sit in the grass. There are two big screen on either side of the stage to look at, and youll likely be watching them no matter where you sit due to the previously mentioned seating issue.Other than that, its a good place to tailgate, they have a good selection of (overpriced) food and drink including beer and wine, and sound quality that (at least from where we sat) was quite good.

Good venue for listening to music. Parking is free and there is a lot of it. Beer prices are very high, which is less than ideal. Sound system is good, but bring earplugs as it is very loud. Has both lawn and defined seating in actual chairs. Bring something to sit on if you choose the lawn, but know you might be standing for much of the performance.

Awesome place to gather and see live music or like us, hear the WORD OF GOD preached by Franklin Graham along with multiple award winnerJeremy Camp and his amazing band along with the greatest guitar picker ever and country music star/award winner!

Overall good place to see a show. Crazy expensive concessions but thats the normal thing now. Parking and traffic could be better but I dont know how this can actually be improved and is the new normal. Just pack your patience or get there early for the larger shows. Once parked and at the gate they were able to get us in and out of the venue pretty quick. The sound is just okay on the lawn. My only real complaint was after dark the large and bright sign that shines on the lawn takes away from the screens showing the artists. Dim the lights on that sign please. It is set way too bright.

Heart & Joan Jett both put on excellent shows. Weve seen both acts, and theyve never disappointed us!

Good outdoor venue, friendly staff, concessions were reasonably priced considering its an amphitheatre. A lot of the locals were really nice (it was a Dead&Co show so I didnt expect anyone to bring bad vibes). My only two complaints (why it didnt get 5 stars): the traffic getting to the park was insane and poorly managed; depending on where you live you may want to leave 3-4 hours early to guarantee you arrive on time. The acoustics are decent and the giant pillars holding up the covered area detract from people sitting in the lawn/grass.

Went to the Outlaw Music Festival w/Willie Nelson & Friends! Allison Kraus, Sturgill Simpson, & Delta Rae - AWESOME venue; tons of drinks & food! Great service

Had a blast tonight watching Dirty Heads. They put on sick a great show. Love the addition of the screens so the lawn seats can see more. Only thing is the seriously overpriced drinks. I know drink prices at concerts are high but $44 for 2 drinks is a bit ridiculous.

Went to this venue for the first time to see Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle. Quite possibly the best concert I’ve ever been to. Almost anywhere you were at was a good vantage point. Layout was simple and everything was easy to find. For an avid concert goer, this remains at the top for one of the best places to go for a show on the east coast.

Saw Bob Segar on Moes Lawn and loved it! My only complaint was they made me empty a water bottle I brought with me; they had faucets available to refill but we have a water purification system.

Great venue! TVs really help with seeing the performance for lawn seat guests. Food is definitely overpriced. A hot dog, fries and drink are over $20.

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff and clean venue

First time visiting this venue since moving to Raleigh and I had a wonderful experience!!! Having a nice up close experience seeing Lindsey Stirling and Evanescence was phenomenal.

Been coming here for almost 20 years and every show has been great! Always have great customer service and helpful staff.

I had such a wonderful time at the Mary J Blige and Nas concert!

So, I’m only going with 3 Stars on this one because of the whole experience at the Music Park. The weather wasn’t the best, even so, if it were dry conditions my 3 Stars would still exist. Now, the concert itself was AMAZING!!! The Amphitheatre is perfect in every way for sounds and visuals! Hootie and the Blowfish were incredible!!! The Barenaked Ladies were awesome as well! But, Hootie. Was. Amazing!!!! Just not a fan of the Coastal Credit Union Music Park.

Ive been going to Walnut Creek since it opened. Its a carbon copy of many shed venues across the country. Im not a fan of Live Nation but they do a good job of managing this venue. Staff almost always friendly and helpful. In the hottest part of the summer they hand out paper fans and other swag. At not-sold-out shows several times Ive seen staff walking the lawn giving out free upgrades to the seated area. Sight lines are good everywhere and multiple huge video screens are nice. Food and drink is CRAZY expensive. Getting out of the parking lot after the show takes forever.

Attended a concert there for the first time. Parking and departure were quick. Should have looked up entry Gates and seat location to facilitate getting situated more easily.

What an amazing experience. Jblze/ Peter frampton concert was more than i expected. Will definitely be back to this venue

Went to see Lynard skynard. Had to wait in line to get in for an hr. Only had one security guard doing checksat the gate we went in. Missed the first act and part of the second. . Poorly ran concert venue.

This is a great outdoor amphitheater with many vendor options for food, drinks, and fan gear. The concert attendees on the lawn turn the concert into one enormous, amusing, neighborly party. The walk to the parking lot is not too bad, and the best thing about parking is it’s FREE!

Really cool spot for concerts and tailgating! Lawn is fun when it’s warm outside. You can rent chairs for lawn but order ahead or arrive early. Sometimes they run out.

Good time. Ample seating. Great sound. Reasonable pricing on drinks for a venue. Parking process is horrible took over an hour to get to something that is literally 5 mins away from my hotel. BUT was warned by venue via email and also by ticketmaster about delays. So was glad didnt miss too much.

Took my 11 year old daughter to see Journey for her first concert, what a great experience! Everything went smooth, parking was well defined, and entrance was a breeze, they check your bags and wand you. Bring your own water bc their drinks are extremely expensive. Thankfully I brought our own water. I didnt check the bathrooms, so I cant say anything about them, sorry. As for seating, I dont think theres a bad seat in the house, it all looked good. Overall, everyone was friendly and if its your first time going to a concert, let someone know! We did at the end, just chit-chatting with an attendant and we were given a certificate. My daughter was so happy, thank you! We will be coming back. Awesome venue!

I went here to see Kendrick Lamar and the crowd was higher but the event was very well organized. I was able to get in and out very quickly with no issues

My first time there was this past Saturday to see the Goo Goo Dolls. We had won free tickets and werent sure where wed be sitting. We discovered they were lawn seats, but no worries! We were able to rent chairs their!! Also, they roped off a family friend section for people who didnt want to be surrounded by drinks. That was classy!! It was well staffed, too.

Pretty nice amphitheatre. Clean and well staffed. Good food selection. A/V was great. General parking was free and we could bring water. We got in and out of the venue pretty easily, but we were parked fairly close and left quickly. I can see how it could take people a long time to get out.

Love going to concerts here. This will be 5 stars if parking was better. For stress free parking I recommend paying the $30 for the paid parking section. With a group of people it riding together it is worth every penny.

Great concert venue. Its a nice amphitheater and a lot of great musicians play here. Its kind of a cluster you know what getting out of the place (driving) but thats to be expected at any concert venue. They allow tailgating and its always fun to arrive early, listen to music from the car speakers, set up some chairs, and hang out with friends and passer-bys. They have a lot of food vendors here (pricy but that is expected at concerts, right?). They also have a handicapped section available to those with disabilities/in wheelchairs and their companion, which I appreciate. You can also bring your own chairs if sitting on the lawn, or you have the option to rent chairs. Its a great place for concerts and they always are working to keep it clean throughout the shows. We come here for concerts about 5 to 7 times per year. I recommend this amphitheater to attend a comcert.

The outlaw music Festival was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed myself. If you ever get a chance to go to a concert do so.

Great concert venue. Good sound for being so open.

Sat in reserved seating just outside of cover. Two large screens help. Could not see stage very well. I am short so people standing or usually seating blocks my view. Thankful for screens. Sound was great. Large seated area & lawn. Not sure of attendance.

I had never been to Brad Paisley or to Coastal Credit Union until this night. My daughter Christina Hicks bought me a ticket for Father’s Day and a my Son DANIEL one for his birthday. What a great gift and a great Atmosphere. My further son in law Bradley made our time together a complete success. All the employees working at the Event Center went out of their way to answer my questions and access in any way needed. We had a fairly long delay because of a passing storm, but it’s always better to be safer than sorry. When the music started back up it was in high gear and the 4-K screen behind the stage was mind blowing. Spending time with my family listening to these incredible country artists was a Father’s Day gift I will Rember for a long time. Even getting out of the event center was well organized so it didn’t take very long. The 2 hour ride home at 1am gives you plenty of time to take and get caught up on what you think about this and that. We rolled down the windows and turned up the country music.

First time back to Walnut Creek since college, almost 20 years. We had a blast. First time I had seats, always did lawn before. Seats are nice when it is hot for sure. You have shade and the large fans help a ton. It was very comfortable even dancing our hearts out in the end of July. We saw Dirty Heads and 311. Great show! Venue staff was friendly and helpful the entire night. Really made the experience even better. Kept people moving along and at the busy times they had staff personnel in the bathroom helping to keep things clean and moving along.

The venue itself is great. Theres not really a bad seat in the house. I was on the lawn and still felt like it was a great experience. The facilities are decent. The bathrooms are to be expected when theres 20,000 people using them. It loses a star because of the traffic. Expect to wait an hour just trying to leave.

The staple of outdoor music venues. A large amphitheater with a great lineup of music. The shows are always fun there, just wish it wasnt as far to get to.

Acoustics awesome! Pricing for concessions is high. Getting people in and out of the venue terrible. They need to work on this...big deal. We pay a lot of money to see shows and drink and eat expensive stuff. Get me in and out faster.

One of the best amptheaters to see live music. Great sound no matter where you are sitting.

Lawn passes are North Carolinas gift to the music loving community. Do yourself the favor and but the season lawn pass and see everything!

Walnut Creek Amphitheatre still has the same great feel it has always had, but it has managed to stay modern too. Its great that you can get liquor drinks during shows and the permanent port-a-johns make using the restroom so much better (I.e. you dont have to wait in line to get into the cinder block buildings anymore). The views are always great and the sound is really good too. Walnut Creek Amphitheatre is a must-go at least once every summer.

Judy and I enjoyed the Brad Paisley World Tour Concert last night and want to Thank VetTix for the Great Seats.

Good venue for a lawn show. Sound is solid and they have about 7 giant screens. However, beer prices are insanity. Almost $15 for a single 24 oz Goose Island IPA. Thats straight robbery. Also, the coastal credit union sign is distractingly large. Does it really need to be bigger than the giant screens? We get it, you paid a lot of money to sponsor the ampitheatre. We paid a lot of money for these beers but you dont see me naming the bar after myself.

Only good things to say! Attending personal were very helpful. The audience was respectful of others and performers.

Through many name changes, this is still the standard for outdoor venues. On a clear night, the lawn is great place to relax and enjoy a show. You can bring a blanket (unlike Koka Booth) or a lawn chair, your own sealed water bottle (up to a liter and refill stations have quality purified water), and bags are permitted. The staff is friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of large screens to assist with a good view of the action on stage.

Great venue, good visibility! Seats hard to find in the dark, but small gripe. Enjoyed BNL and Hootie!

Wonderful venue. Very well set up so that the entrance and exit is easy to get to. The vendors Inside have a variety of food and drink. There was not a bad seat In the house.

I was really impressed with how smooth entry and exit to both the lot and venue were. Employees were helpful and had good attitudes. Beware of undercover cops- maybe there were more because we were at a phish show!

Jason Bonhams Led Zeppelin Evening rocked it again! Peter Frampton did old school, new tunes, some blues, and a tribute to Chris Cornell. Awesome!

People were packed into seats like sardines. There was absolutely no arm room. If you pay extra for actual seats you should be able to enjoy the concert without touching the sweat of the stranger next to you. I was bumped in the head 3 times by someone behind me. It was very hard to enjoy myself. My suggestions to anyone who goes to a concert here, either sit in the field or or buy VIP tickets. I will not be going back, it just wasnt worth it.

Awesome first time seeing Nas great performer, Mary J Awesome also

Great place for a concert! Nice and clean. Good view even from the lawn. Staff was friendly. Free parking!!!The closer you are to the stage, the more expensive the beer is. Food was more reasonable than expected, especially compared to beer prices.

Ive been here lots of times through the years and Im never disappointed. Super nice facility. We always get lawn seats so we can get up and dance. Lots of parking and restrooms.

Great venue. Parking was a bit of a pain. Be prepared for a long walk and wait to get in and out of the parking lot. Food and drink options were great! Fun experience overall!

Loved the concert, Wiilie Nelsons Outlaw fest. Parking is not fun. Drinks and food are expensive. Spring and autumn its nice, but summer its too hot, no shade.

Dont go if youve got another option to see a show. As it has changed sponsorship/names over the years it has steadily gone downhill. Now they nickle and dime you for everything and I would rather see a show anywhere in the Raleigh metro other than here. It would be easy to make it better, but they seem intent on taking it the other direction.

Very nice venue,easy in & out,& the fish bowls are straight! Just turn it on up!,been in my past to louder shows,I was ready to jam but it felt at house volume.

Great venue! Friendly staff they are very helpful, great environment and I enjoyed the venue, great sound system , great food and drinks, loved it , looking forward to go back!!!!!Overall #Greatexperience !!!!! The #ImagineDragons concert was #amazing!!!!!

Bob Seager was awesome put on a heck,of a show

Awesome venue But didn’t like having to change my kids diaper in the grass though. There are no changing stations in the bathrooms or anywhere for that matter. At least not clearly displayed or easily accessible.

We love concerts at Walnut Creek! And providing flowers for the VIP lounge from our florist English Garden

This place is wonderful! Every worker was so polite and helpful, especially Amy J. who offered me ear plugs and talked with us for a little while. So friendly! I’ll definitely return.

Ive been 2ce this yearThe first was a concert and it was amazing. We were upgraded because my mom is legally blind and it was too difficult for her to walk the stairs to our seats. The second was a special event, everyone was again helpful and attentive to moms needs.

My friend and I visited for The Goo Goo Dolls and Train concert and had a blast! We had lawn seats, which are farther away from the stage because the venue is quite large, but the screens above the stage made me feel closer to the artists. There are several food and beverage vendors and the security seems very thorough, so I felt very safe and enjoyed the experience.

Just a great setup. Music,eats, premiere parking.

This was my first time at the venue and was not sure what to expect. It is beautiful and spacious! There was not a spot where the show could not be enjoyed. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint was that the people directing traffic could have gotten to their spots sooner so that traffic would have been running in one direction and not everyone for themselves.

It says all over the website to bring low close-to-ground lawn chairs, but half the people had the higher chairs so I had to stand up during the whole concert. Also it started thunderstorming and they had to delay the concert and made you go back to your cars or go to some shelter.

The music area is nice if you buy a seat, they are covered, but they are way too close together, you have hardly any arm or leg room, I was constantly touching the person next to me, I didnt even know him btw. The restrooms are nasty. Some of the stall doors wont close and some dont even have locks. There was a constant short supply on toilet paper and paper towels. We sat in section 7 front row, it was a good view. Oh and $16 for a beer or a margarita/daiquiri. Only plus is free parking, the sound was great and your allowed to bring in bottled water. Also i suggest bringing in a seat cusion, those seats are hard

Venue is really good, if you pay for the experience. Its massive, so there are a lot of people. If you want to actually see the act, and not watch a screen, you will need to be in a box, or in the pit. Even in the boxes that are a little further back, seeing the act without a need for a screen is rare. If you are on the lawn, youre pretty much just there to listen.Lots of parking available, but get there early as traffic getting to the venue is always thick and slow. Same with leaving. Food and drink are overpriced for what you get.Sound is always great and this is where the biggest acts come, but in general its not the best concert venue in the area.

Always a great venue. Unless theyve made a change, the VIP parking was awful for exit time, it was the longest we have ever had to wait to leave after a concert. Just sharing in case you are debating buying a pass. Unless you have a special need, we find general parking to work well.

Nice venue. Lots of food & drink vendors & good layout. It takes a while to get in & out because of the locations of stairs/gates. Try to park in lot B. Medium walk, but much quicker to get out after a show.

WeezerWent to see Weezer which was pretty well sold out. The organization is amazing. The entire place cleared out in 20 minutes. Parking is not bad at all considering.Only one question. Do I tip on a $ 24 watered down mixed drink here or not?

Ive been here several times for concerts. Drinks are a little high priced, but its expected in a venue like this one. I usually get lawn tickets, but I really enjoy it. Always checking to see who will be playing there next that Im interested in. Parking was not bad at all, or you can Uber/Lyft there, which I have done too. Overall a good concert venue.

Great show! Kim did an excellent job. DJ Cool was awesome. Maze/Frankie Beverly was spectacular! Well worth the money! Traffic control was outstanding! Looking forward to Mary J. and Nas next week.

Parking was great, staff did a great job getting people in and out. I bought seated tickets and had huge people on each side of us. It would be nice if people take up 2 seats, they need to buy 2 tickets. We were super cramped for the whole show.

Love seeing shows in a small venue. And since I did the epoxy floors there Ive gotten to see shows at a discount. Great place.

This venue was horrible to get to and from. I am glad that I do not live in Raleigh and have to utilize this concert venue Austin. The concert was amazing! Plenty of cocktails readily available, but getting to and from was a nightmare
