Editorial Review for Walnut Creek Amphitheatre – by Zach Hanner

In Short
Formerly dubbed Alltel Pavilion, this venue has a state-of-the-art bandshell and CD-quality sound and video system and can seat 20,000 in both lawn and seated areas. Bring a blanket to sit on in the grass, or you can rent a chair for a nominal fee. Most major touring acts that come through the Southeast stop by for a gig. The programmers also schedule festivals that feature lesser-known artists on an all-day bill.

You might need to make use of the strategically placed ATMs due to the steep prices for food and beer.

Love the music but hate how they charge a parking fee onto your ticket even if you ride with someone else. We usually have a van full of 6-7 ppl. That's $35 spent on parking. UNFAIR! Beer is outrageously high. $10. Need a loan to hang out here:(

Pros: music

Cons: unfair parking fee, high beer prices

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I went to see the Allman Brothers with Skynyrd last Friday...and it was SUCH as great show! The crowd was a little rowdie, but I guess thats to be expected with Skynyrd on the main stage. Overall, it was a great experience. I encountered friendly staff, great music, and great sound. I will definitely come back to a shows next season at Alltel Pavilion.

Pros: awesome live music, good sight, great sound!

Cons: , rowdy fans, pricey
