Performers Coming to this Venue
Tony Bennett
One of America's foremost song stylists, Tony Bennett has enjoyed a career that began in the late 1930s and finds him still entertaining audiences well into the 21st century. Born Anthony Dominick Benedetto in Astoria, Queens, on August 3, 1926, Bennett was a music fan from an early age....

Jackie Evancho
Like Hayley Westenra, Charlotte Church, and Sarah Brightman, soprano Jackie Evancho operates in the classical crossover realm. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native (who also plays violin and piano) wowed both the judges and the audience during the fifth season of America’s Got Talent....

Everclear
Though Everclear's Northwestern grunge-punk style was hardly revolutionary when the band rose to popularity in 1995, the trio's hook-ridden songs and Art Alexakis' "us against them" lyrics were taken to heart by bored Gen-X teens....

Gregg Allman
Gregg Allman's most visible contribution to rock music is as lead singer, organist, and songwriter with the Allman Brothers Band, founded by his brother Duane (d. 1971) in 1969. He has never threatened to eclipse the band that carries his family name, but he has found occasional success and popularity with his solo work, which is distinctly different, more soulful and less focused on high-wattage virtuosity....

Hank Williams, Jr.
The offspring of famous musicians often have a hard time creating a career for themselves, yet Hank Williams, Jr. is one of the few to develop a career that is not only successful, but markedly different from his legendary father....

Phish
During the early '90s, Phish emerged as heirs to the Grateful Dead's throne. Although their music was somewhat similar to the Dead's sound -- an eclectic, free-form rock & roll encompassing elements of folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, and pop -- the group adhered more to jazz-derived improvisation than folk tradition....

Robert Plant
In 1968, a naïve young singer from the Black Country hills in England named Robert Plant was discovered wailing the blues by veteran session guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones....

Bombino
Meditative and earthy, Niger-based musician Bombino conjures the expansiveness of the Sahara landscape. Born in 1980 as Goumar Almoctar in the nomadic Tuareg encampment Tidene, Bombino came of age during much political upheaval, fleeing with his family to Algeria by 1990 and returning to northern Niger's largest city, Agadez, seven years later, when he took on music professionally....

The Black Crowes
At the time of their 1990 debut, the kind of rock & roll the Black Crowes specialized in was sorely out of style. Only Guns N' Roses came close to approximating a vintage Stones-style raunch, but they were too angry and jagged to pull it off completely....

For starters Alpharetta doesn't have the road system to support this venue unless your using 400. Parking is a nightmare, however it was free, I guess you get what you pay for. Lower main seating area isn't stepped up between the rows, so you better be at least 6' tall if want to see the show. Oh the folding card table chairs is a nice touch lol. And you better like your neighbor because your going to be rubbing up on him for there is a zero gap between the chairs. If someone gave me free Rolling Stones tickets to Verizon Wireless Aplitheater I wouldn't go it sucks that bad!!!

I honestly didn't even know this place existed till I bought tickets for another concert. The venue was very clean, and there was enough room space everywhere to walk and not bump into people.
The parking is assigned when you buy tickets, and the signage is very clear to read as well as follow. There is a little bit of a walk but honestly it is nothing to major to worry about. When I was there we were in lot B and maybe had a 5 minute walk. There is only one lot that gets shuttled, and that one was N.
The food shops there have a lot of different food choices, like chicken tenders, personal size pizzas, and pretzels and nachos.
The bathrooms were clean,and there was one door for enter and one for exit. So the bathroom didnt get bottle necked.
Traffic leaving was easly controlled,and I was back on 75 south in under 10 minutes! Never had that happen anywhere else.
The only downfall that I have is the lawn is not big like Lakewood (or whatever it's called these days) it may be half of that. So you will get up and close with the people around you.
Other than that this place gets a A++ from me, and I will gladly buy tickets and go there again anytime.

Don't listen to moronic reviews that suggest parking is terrible. It is very convenient and included in the price of the ticket with a voucher. Anyone who had to take a shuttle must have shown up 10 minutes before the concert.
The acoustics are not concert hall quality, but do you really expect such from what is virtually an outdoor venue. Beer/concessions are not priced any more than other venues in this area. The viewing area, even from the lawn, is quite good and the video screens are well-placed.
All-in-all, a huge improvement over Lakewood, the other big outdoor arena.

Bad acoustics.
Terrible parking (you park and have to take a shuttle to the venue).
Nothing to do in the area afterward.
