The amphitheater is located on Pavilion Boulevard in the University City neighborhood near the US 29/I-485 (Outerbelt) interchange.

The amphitheater hosts many different varieties of acts, including rock, alternative, pop, country, jazz, and rhythm and blues, along with special events and festivals of all kinds.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney's final North American concert of The New World Tour was held at the amphitheater on June 15, 1993.

The show was nationally broadcast on Fox, who aired commercials in place of some live songs.

The Vans Warped Tour, Ozzfest and other traveling festivals generally always make an appearance here.
