Great concert at a great Amphitheater even if half of it was in the pouring rain! The staff was wonderful!

There's really no better outdoor venue in Charlotte. The Fillmore is great, but small and crowded. PNC is grand, but out of the way. CMCU has that big concert feel but well within reach! A stunning view of the city, combined with fast and helpful staff makes for a great concert experience. I have seen big bands and one man shows here, and both were experiences made better thanks to this venue.

Great venue. I have seen Leon Bridges and on another occasion Lake Street Dive. Love the venue!

4 stars only because it was stupid expensive for drinks there. Otherwise the venue itself was outstanding. Not a bad spot in the house and the lawn all the way in back you can still see everything

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How's the handicap parking? My wife is in a wheelchair.

Johnny Deadmon | Oct 9, 2019
Sean Mcknight | Oct 9, 2019

When I was there in May 2019 there was no designated handicap parking that I recall. At least not that was obvious. However, we did get to the venue a few hours early and got a bite to eat and was able to get a really close spot to the venue that would likely be easy enough to get a wheelchair in and out of. There is also paid parking right outside the venue (right next to gate) that was I believe $20. However, we parked about 30 feet away from that spot for free. I would recommend getting to the venue earlier and snagging a close spot before they start charging for parking. Parking elsewhere (surface lot or parking garage) I believe is $5.

Margaret Clarkson | Oct 9, 2019

We were in the lawn seating area in May 2019 and was told that smoking was ok. I guess it depends on who you ask at the venue

We have purchased the VIP parking pass for our show. Can anyone tell me what this is exactly? Is it a special parking lot? If so where is it located?

Byron Greene | Aug 9, 2022
Jeffrey Bartlett | Aug 9, 2022

Vip parking is a special lot located across from the entrance to the fillmore which is also where vip goes into the venue. It's a 2 minute walk to the fillmore entrance. Look for the box office

VIP access - is it a good add on?

Lisa Love | May 11, 2022
Sheryl Zerbe | May 11, 2022

Never did VIP. This is a smaller venue. Not sure of value for what you get for the money.

ONLY NEED ID IF PLAN ON GETTING WRISTBAND TO DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE AT EVENT! If not planning to drink - not Id'd! You should be good to get in without one. All shows are all ages as far as I know and lots of parents bring their kids for concerts worthy enough to share a night out with them and kid enjoy it as much as parents do!

No, it's just a big lawn where you can choose to sit wherever you want. I'm not sure why they would be more for different sections. I will say the middle area may be behind the sound guys, so there may be some limited viewing.
