One of the coolest concert venues I've been too! It's right on the water, the sunsets are amazing, but bring a jacket, it can get chilly!
Stephanie S.September 26, 2012
Seated outdoor venue-- very unique experience. Listen to good music (eg for concerts), while enjoying hopefully good weather, gazing at stars, and looking out into the water. Would come back!
Craig ThompsonJuly 1, 2016
Great views and always a fun place to see shows. The beer and drinks garden out back is open now and they take credit cards. Win!

This Long Island theater is where classic-rock buffs from the ’burbs meet their NYC counterparts. Whoever's playing, expect a populist, ballpark-style concert experience. Read more

Wow what a venue. Though the front row seats were flooded the patrons had a great time. Seeing Joan Jett and Boston perform was amazing in the well designed venue
Joslyn HansenSeptember 14, 2018
It's an incredible pain to get to and they weren't selling any alcohol at the concert I went to. At least the staff were all pretty nice and helpful!
Dan PericoneJune 21, 2022
The view is great this is section 6R. Weather was overcast but on a sunny day it’s probably really nice. Also can’t beat free parking!
Gabriel M.August 24, 2017
Amazing venue. If you're here for an evening concert, make sure you arrive early to check out the great sunset views.

Grab the cheapest seats if you don't mind waiting until a few hours or days before the concert for seat upgrade to orchestra usually. $20 Seats + $20 upgrade

This outdoor amphitheater is one of the few that is fully seated. The views are great at this oceanfront theatre where the boats line up in the bay.

Watch out for the camera nazi in orchestra c in the white mustache who makes it his goal to repremand every person taking a pic with aone of the 10,000 camera phones in the venue. :) lmfao
Ben LohmannSeptember 17, 2014
Beautiful and unique venue. The best seats are actually higher up, especially while it's light out.
Joe M.August 10, 2014
If the weather's nice, This is one of the best outdoor venues. If you drive though, tailgaters will wind up blocking several parking spots.
Jonathan LSeptember 4, 2017
If it starts raining, enjoy it! Concerts are fun in the rain.

If you're taking pictures at sunset or in low light, try turning the dial on your COOLPIX to Night Portrait mode. The setting allows you to take pictures with well balanced light while preserving the

Love it! Summer only, dance or just listen to free live music nearly every night: local, tribute & oldies bands of various genres including rock from old school to classic to current, Latin & country.
Village VoiceSeptember 7, 2012
Coming out for Florence and the Machine Sept. 15? Look our for the Too Far team to grab a free book+CD set as you exit!
Judd MJune 28, 2013
Search Groupon, LivingSocial and Amazon deals for 50% off VIP tix. Download the set list, pre game like crazy, enjoy the show! Skidaddle 2 songs before the Encore to get a jump on the mass exodus..,
EwizzleJune 30, 2017
Place is pretty good. Food & drinks r obviously not cheap... drink before u walk in. Parking for me was free. The premixed drinks suck. Ground level next to the stage had water from high tide
Nikon USAJuly 27, 2011
Bump up the ISO - try setting the ISO on your camera in the 400-800 range to get better low-light shots, especially if your camera has a CMOS sensor like the new Nikon COOLPIX cameras.
Michael PetroAugust 14, 2011
Having VIP access is great, its the only place to buy alcohol but come prepared to spend $12 for Beer's on tap and glasses of Wine... no hard liquor here! Also, $6 for a bottle of water or a soda.

Less crowded restrooms at the North end of theatre pishers !
WaleskaAugust 21, 2012
When you sit close to the sky, you get to take in the view of the coastline, but not the performers. Just sneak to slightly better seats midway through the show.
Jess SSeptember 16, 2012
Find the VIP tent & you'll find alcohol. Have a cab or car booked to get you back to Freeport station or you'll fall asleep waiting for the bus shuttle
This Week on LotJanuary 23, 2011
Great outdoor venue w/ good views & sound. The lot has always been relaxed & offers beach access. Get there early to secure the closer one for cheaper than VIP.Vending is usually decent.

They have renovated after Hurricane Sandy & have new seating in orchestra section. General admission standing for some some shows.

Really cool place, great location and sounds pretty good too

This was a great stop on the Get $leazy Tour! It is on the water and you can see crabs swimming around! Also, the venue crew are hot!!
HeatherAugust 18, 2013
Omg bathroom lines r nuts! Stayed in line 25mins at least! And no booze sold inside- horrible mix! But gorg view and great bands so we have to deal!
Nikon USAJuly 28, 2011
Colorful concert lighting can be tricky to capture, but very rewarding. Anticipate the shots to know when a performer’s face will be lit, and shoot for great colorful effects.
Nikon USA ManagerSeptember 26, 2011
Take control of your photos - a Camera like the Nikon P300 lets you shoot great photos in low light with a fast f/1.8 lens and the ability to manually adjust shutter speed.
Nikon USA ManagerSeptember 26, 2011
If there isn’t a lot of stage light, set the camera for monochrome instead of color, your photos will have a “classic” photography feel without the distraction of color.
SetonSeptember 3, 2014
Awesome venue... Right on the water and pretty much an awesome view no matter what.
Nikon USA ManagerSeptember 26, 2011
Get Close - even if you’re not in the front row, you can still get great shots. Nikon’s COOLPIX S9100 has a long zoom lens that lets you get up to 18x closer.
KellyJune 17, 2015
Great time tonight at the concert! Matt Nathanson, The Fray, and Train were amazing!!🎹🎶🎼🎧🎤🎸🎵
Laurie ElizabethSeptember 16, 2012
Parking lot was a nightmare last night. Even with parking near the exit we didn't move for 45 minutes. Beautiful spot to see a concert. Just need to work on exiting policy!
KellyJune 1, 2015
Such a great time last night at KTUphoria with Kelly Clarkson, Jason Derulo, Adam Lambert, Ricky Martin, Shaggy and many more amazing people!!🎷🎻🎤🎶🎹🎺🎸
Christopher FredaAugust 15, 2016
Get there early or you'll be stuck parking in field 4, getting out of the lots after shows can be a nightmare.
DaveAugust 30, 2019
Great venue but can get a little chilly. Bring a hoodie or light jacket
Nikon USAJune 12, 2012
Don’t forget to stop by the Nikon tent to 1) take your Fan Photo and 2) check out autographed memorabilia and Rock & Roll photography from some of your favorite artists!
Tilman BeneckeJuly 11, 2017
Saw Rammstein 2017 - Hillarious ridiculous over the top entertainment! The location is great, but not for a rock concert. The arrangement of the seats in front of the stage suck somehow.
AbbyJune 26, 2012
Awesome views during daylight hours, but don't forget a sweater for night. Brrr. Also - no alcoholic drinks served in the venue.
Katie TuohyAugust 6, 2014
It's just a really pretty, laid-back way to enjoy a concert. I wish more venues were out on the water like this.
Mac MillerAugust 3, 2012
the sunset here during the show was so ill. you have got to check that out.

Yes it's a dry venue but come early park & tailgate... It's actually safer cause u sober up by the end of the concert to drive home
Kelly MelissaJuly 27, 2013
Beautiful venue but the beer situation sucks. We had to pay $30 extra to get into VIP in order to buy $12 beers. I have been to a lot of shows and never experienced anything like this.
Greg TaggartAugust 6, 2014
Great place for a night concert on the beach.
