Michael VierraSeptember 2, 2015Amazing venue is set in the (almost) same spot as the first Woodstock. Free parking & gorgeous, well maintained grounds to enjoy your favorite performer on a warm summer night. Come early & tailgate!Upvoted 1 day ago- Sal The Barber (Located Inside Shear Perfection)July 29, 2012Great place to go see a concert...I prefer the lawn seats so I can kinda move around...get there early tho and enjoy take in the whole venue including the museum...Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Colleen MeganAugust 26, 2014I've seen countless concerts here. I love the country setting, friendly staff and amazing acoustics. Be warned you're not aloud to bring your own chairs to concerts.- KαÖωWɑäηDecember 2, 2013I just went back to sixtieth and enjoyed listening to the story of Woodstock Festival from the beginning. How nice! Flower Power!
Smithsonian ChannelJune 24, 2011Built on the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, this not-for-profit amphitheater has maximum capacity of 15,000 – just 3 percent of the original concert’s attendance. (From Aerial America) Read more
Jereme BivinsFebruary 16, 2013The best part of summer is taking in a concert here. Breathtaking views, friendly staff, cheap tickets; and great shows. Check their site for the full concert/events list.
Joe PruntyJuly 11, 2015Such a beautiful venue. Unfortunately can't bring in your own lawn chairs anymore.
Liz RattrayMay 29, 2015Here for Mysteryland and it could not have been more beautiful! A great venue and place to get away from the city.
P. D.August 27, 2021What an amazing venue. Better than almost any shed I've seen. And Woodstock's magic aura hangs over the lawn.
My favorite venue by far, having been to dozens up and down the Northeast and NYC. There is always traffic leaving after a show but it's not a big deal and should not deter anyone from going. The staf- Angel BuffalinoMay 24, 2012Amazing outdoor venue. GO. sold out concerts make traffic a nightmare so go early tailgate before and after...you will thank me.
Rhiannon HastingsSeptember 7, 2010To get the best experience for a live music performance, sit in the middle section or the right side under the roofing area. But sit towards the back so your ears drums don't pop from the speakers.
Everything at the epicenter of peace and love is amazing!
Jane CarboneApril 5, 2011Go early, eat at the Fat Lady Cafe or Benji & Jakes, stay for the show and use the backroads, no traffic at all. (from a local)
Don't get stuck on 17B/CR 117 traffic (and you will for any major show)... there are plenty of back roads to get you there. Set your GPS to avoid that road entirely. Take any right heading north o
Laura FlandersMay 28, 2011Mostly I watch the traffic pass by, but I hear the shows are great too! Elton John coming this September.
Brooks and Dunn Concert: Come get a free Woodcocks CD just for signing emailing list!!! They're playing on the left as you enter!- Colleen KJune 22, 2012Bring your own food, but if you don't, do NOT shell out $8 for the hummus wrap. It's pathetic. Try Hungry Hungry Hippies at the top of the hill instead.

Best show so far this summer. Blake Sheldon was fantastic!
- Angel BuffalinoMay 24, 2012PS parking is uncoordinated , dark and unfriendly. Pay for the parking pass its worth it.
You can bring anything in. Basically no pat down. Phucking awesome.
Plan on arriving early for big shows. Traffic can be bad before and its terrible afterwards. One road in one road out
🌊 Kim ⛅️August 29, 2010Traffic leaving is horrendous...but you half to miss the last half of the show to avoid it.
D GAugust 7, 2011Ugh. Parking is awful. The traffic in & out is awful. Will NOT ever go to this venue again.
