    I've gone to many concerts here and it's a great place outside for concerts. The lawn seats are…read morepriced cheap and you can still get a great view of the stage as long as you sit in the front area of the grass and don't have too many people in front of you. You can rent chairs there to sit in for $10-$15 that you return at the end of the night. They no longer allow you to bring your own chairs anymore. You can bring in blankets to sit on which I recommend. The grass does get little bugs and nats but I brought a portable fan and it kept them away. They have a huge selection of food, drinks and serve alcohol. The price for the food is expensive. I got 3 street barbacoa tacos and it was $24! The homemade lemonade was $9.78 and pretzel was $9.78 with no cheese. They have a great stage set up and the sound system is amazing. The only thing that is horrible is the parking situation. I recommend you buy the VIP parking so you can get good parking when arriving but more so when you leave because you're able to beat the traffic and not have to wait in line to leave for hours because of the one way out. The VIP and handicap parking allows you to drive in the center lanes and skip the one lane main parking line. It's in the middle of Wheatland and close to Hard Rock Casino.

    I appreciate seeing many reviews here regarding Saturday's Santana/Doobie Brothers concert and say…read moreditto to most things. --Carlos Santana and Doobie Bros with Michael MacDonald were great. Stage, sound, lighting also great. --**The heat. This amphitheatre really needs to make changes not only for the comfort but also the physical safety of concert goers on excessively hot days. I may not attend here again because of this, it was just too much and not something I'm usually thinking about. Was 101-105 degrees hours before show when long lines started forming. No shade or awnings for those in line, no water misters. Also, because of the prohibition on bringing in open beverages and food (empty water thermoses ok) I'm sure many did not have cool icy hydration with them. I tossed my own water/ice before I realized the waiting line was long and bought a lemonade from vendor which helped but... --Also too hot to sit in unshaded seats before show. I and a few others found shade standing near sound booth. Must confess, I suddenly got full on heat sick. Went to concert solo and fortunately got water and help from kind strangers, and a cardboard fan I'd somehow missed at entrance, helped. But this venue needs to care, there were many older people, people in wheelchairs, or just baking young people. --Need more obvious stations to fill water bottles at venue with COLD water (gosh with ice would be great). Shade. Water misters. Awnings for lines. Being cognizant of excessive heat on such days. --Parking. You have to remember to glance at sign above when leaving car, but at night after concert it's hard to figure out what direction, bunch of lost wandering people. Once in car, waiting to merge into stream of traffic leaving lot, it's a stuck free-for-all for an hour, no staff are visible or helping or creating system. Then suddenly stream moved as staff far ahead waved our "lane" through, not sure why there was not more give & take re waving cars through. --Food and drinks are pricey. $13 kettle corn, $26 drinks. --If using GPS phone app, be sure and enter the actual amphitheatre address. This is weird but I used a typical phone GPS app, selected choice for Toyota Amphitheatre, took a weird winding back route through almond fields and ended up at a city park 15 minutes from venue. Weird so just enter the address. --website FAQs page does say no aerosol sunscreen, clear bags only, no lawn chairs, and other rules. Good to read through and also watch text alerts. --The staff throughout were nice, they just needed more of them at parking lot after show.

    My review is based on my ticket purchasing/customer service (or lack thereof) experience with HSMF…read moreand not about the festival experience since I never had the chance to attend. I bought tickets for my husband as a 2019 Christmas gift, for the 2020 show. Then Covid hit and they postponed the 2020 show, as did everyone else, and I completely understood. We were so excited for the rescheduled festival in 2021. Then they "postponed" that show too, even though by that point everything had re-opened and all the other festivals and shows were on. I don't know about you, but I've never heard of a 2-year "postponement" and wish we could just call it what it is. Regardless, we planned to finally attend in 2022. And then I found out my brother picked the same weekend to get married, on the east coast. He wasn't even engaged at the time the original event was scheduled to have happened, so I had no way of knowing about this conflict 2 years down the road, and of course the *very* small window to receive a refund had already passed. I am not sure how HSMF got away with offering such a narrow window for 2020 refunds, and so early on (more than a year before the rescheduled show), but they offered zero help or support when I reached out to them about this issue. They informed me I would have to join their Facebook group to sell my tickets since they wouldn't refund me themselves. I joined the group, posted the tickets, and my post was removed so it was not a feasible means of resale. Then I got an email that HSMF was soon to be selling tickets for 2022, so I once again reached out to them and asked very kindly if they could please accept a return on my tickets due to the unprecedented TWO YEAR postponement, a family wedding that I cannot miss, and the fact that they'd be selling these tickets later the same week anyway- why not sell mine too?! But nobody even had the decency to respond to me. It takes a special kind of *insert favorite word for a mean person* to take over $600 from someone during a pandemic, "postpone" the event for two YEARS, not make an exception for such extenuating circumstances, and not even have the decency to reply. Just pocketing the money of music fans without offering any type of genuine humane support or understanding. Needless to say, going forward I will not be supporting a festival that operates in such a way. We've been to music festivals all over the country and never had a negative experience, so there's plenty of good music and festivals out there where people are treated right. Buyer beware!

    My friend Jim co-founded this festival many, many moons ago, when I was a youngster. I used to help…read moreout backstage, once carrying two of Steve Kimock's legendary guitars off stage after an epic performance in somewhat cold weather. I remember Steve saying, "It's like playing chickens out there." At the time that made perfect sense. If memory serves, this was the first time a lot of us tried Sierra Nevada beer (back then a sibling on the emerging craft beer scene) and the entire experience was warm and friendly. I never made it back between the early 90s until this year. I am so happy I decided to finally return. The festival has changed locations (a couple of times since) and become a lot bigger and organized. There are scores of bands, too many to see as four or five are playing at once on the different stages, but it is easy enough to walk around and catch a few songs of each. If it's hot, there is a swimming pool $8, or so. And the camping is fun. Pulling in at the beginning can be a bit stressful in sorting out your space, but once the dust settles, it's all dandy. Folks say this is a music festival for musicians, and I agree. But of course all are welcome. I hope to return again.
