We had the good luck while visiting Indianapolis to learn that the Black Keys were playing at Everwise Amphitheater. We were able to secure tickets the same afternoon, amazingly, and attended the show. We walked from our hotel, which was the JW Marriott and very close by. I would point out that you need to be sure which gates to enter by as some may not be open for evening shows. At least that was our experience. All this being said, and having walked around inside the facility while the show was underway, it was my impression that the view of the stage from any seat was spectacular. The sound system and the lighting effect were well orchestrated, and the facility staff were very courteous. There were no "traffic jams" among the crowds while trying to enter or exit. Everything moved quite efficiently and I was very comfortable while attending a performance at this venue.
I absolutely will never come to this venue again. Flew from Texas to see Turnpike Troubadours tonight ... spent a lot of money for first row behind the pit. All would have been fine until security (an older gentleman with grey hair) kept upgrading tons of people from I assume the lawn and obstructing people who paid so much for their tickets. It's one thing if you have your view blocked by people who purchased pit tickets ... but when it's blocked by a dozen people who likely paid $60 a ticket when your tickets were $300 it is absolutely ridiculous. Our entire front row section was obstructed as a result and others not in our party were complaining as well. Also for some reason it was as if they intentionally picked the tallest people in the lawn to "upgrade." Very poor decision on staffs behalf!
I love the entrance into the Amphitheater through the park and statues or along the canal. Really makes you feel like you're leading up to something exciting - which you are - you are about to see a dope show! So far I have seen Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips, and Two Door Cinema Club, each one a major win. I've been lawn and right in front of the stag and equally enjoyed both. Even if you want a little more space and go somewhere up the hill where you can't exactly see the stage, there is still such a vibe with the lighting, trees, and park setting. Food-wise? I was a happy camper. The service for food and drinks was very efficient and friendly. There were plenty of places to sit and eat comfortably. I was a little disappointed that all the food stands on my side (the far side) of the theater closed early (I had my eyes on chorizo nachos) but I just walked around, back to the entrance. I highly recommend the reuben styled bratwurst - it had a lovely crisp on the casing. And the cheese friends really hit the spot. I also thought the promotional refill shaker was really really cute. Can't wait to bring it back for my discounted refill!
The investment into this venue has paid off. It remains a true gem of an outdoor venue. Obviously, you are subject to the whims of mother nature. So they are going to be some nights where the weather simply does not cooperate. But that's not the fault of this excellent venue. The sound insight lines are excellent. And a lot of great acts are visiting this venue.
I had enjoyed myself at this venue. I was really happy that I came to Fever Fest which was held here during WNBA All Star Weekend. The tickets I had were in good seats and it was under the pavilion which it was covered if it had rain even though the rain could come through the sides. Luckily during the time I was there it didn't rain. There was parking for the event right at the location for $30 or parking for $20 at the baseball field. We had parked at the baseball field. It wasn't a bad of a walk. The only downfall is I wish there was more than one entrance and exit way so you didn't have to walk far at the end of the event when you were ready to leave. We had bought food which the price was your typical price for an event of this nature. Also they had it decorated nice. I would definitely come back to an event here.
I enjoyed this venue. Came here for the fever fest during wnba all star 2025 and enjoyed myself. Parking onsite was $30, across the street at the Indians was $20, so we ended up parking down the street at meter parking, the walk wasn't bad. This was my first time here and I didn't know where the entry gate was, I think they could have had more signage to display where to enter. Getting in wasn't bad because the event already started. They have a clear bag policy that has to be certain size. I noticed they had restroom facilities available and stands to buy food and drinks. Basketball activities were set up around and then they had the stage with seats and lawn area available. I purchased a cocktail in a shaker cup and was told that if I bring it back it's $5 cheaper. The regular cost is $26 and the bartender Paulina recommended the strawberry lemonade with tequila (it comes with vodka on the menu u) so I went with that and glad I did, it was really good that I'd get it again. She also said it's a double shot in the shaker cup, and I definitely felt it. We had seats for this event, I didn't see labels of the seating so I looked it up to find our section. The seats are basic, nothing too comfy about it but glad we had seats which did have overhead cover though it wasn't raining thankfully. Our section was 404 which was in the back, but it was a decent view.
Venue is great but for the lower seat levels they have a TON of congestion and people in the way of view while they make them pour their drinks into plastic cups. There's got to be a better way.
Nice outdoor venue, not a bad sightline anywhere. Security line was run efficiently BUT the same bag that has been allowed into several other venues was mysteriously "too large" for this one so I had to take it back to the car or check it for $5. We were there early enough so I took it back to the car & stuffed what I needed into my jacket pockets (kind of defeats the purpose of a bag check since I wasn't wanded going thru the "no bag" security line). I don't know who controls concessions but $28 for a 10oz vodka-lemonade? And the bartender smiles & says "if you bring this cup back you get $3 off the next one." Heck, I already can't AFFORD a next one! Restrooms were clean, ushers were friendly & helpful, getting in / out of the venue was easy & everything pretty much ran on time. The stage crew is incredible. They did 2 total set changeovers in under 15 minutes each. Again, another "I don't know" - who controls the artists' volume but the opening act was so loud it was unbearable. The drums almost affected my heart rate. And the headliner's mic made him sound like he was on AM radio. Nice place, maybe I just chose the wrong concert.
Michael Franti was at Everwise so I needed to be there! This is a great venue. Parking is relatively easy as long as there aren't multiple events in the area. The grounds around and inside the venue are awesome. Love the option of the lawn seats on the hill or covered seating. Nice restroom facilities that are well thought out for women. There were enough vendors for food and drink. I didn't see any food trucks that I saw mentioned on their website but no biggie. I found all the staff at the event very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
I've never attended a concert at this lovely venue, but after tonight, I will definitely be back. I was so impressed how quickly we made it through the line for the bag check and ticket scan. The bar lines moved quickly as well, but to no surprise, the drink prices are extremely high. You can find liquors, beers, and bottled or canned water. The drink vendors are set up well for large crowds on a grassy hill. It was a nice spot to stand around and enjoy your beverages and chat with friends. They do allow you to bring a small, unsealed water bottle that can be refilled at one of their water fountains. I didn't see the water fountains, but I was told I could find on each side of the amphitheater. I had to research what type and size bags were allowed. The following is the bag policy I found for entry into the facility, and if not met, you must return your bag to your vehicle. They allow clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC tote bags no larger than 12" x 6" x 12" or small clutch bags (6" x 9"). Again, if not met, you must leave the line to return bags to your vehicle and then return to the back of the line. The facility is an ideal venue, laid out well, and has large, clean restrooms located just inside the entrances. The restrooms were supplied well with TP, paper towels, and handsoap. Our seats were perfect! Our tickets were in the GA Upper Pavillion in Row G, and our seats were right in the middle of the row, which put us directly in the center of the stage. I loved the seats, and yes, we couldn't see their faces clearly, but the large screens handled that issue. No one sat in front of us for about 45 minutes, so we appreciate that. When the folks did arrive, they weren't 6' tall. That usually happens at most events we attend. The permanent overhead canopy is attractive and beneficial on sunny days or undesirable weather. The lawn area looked small, but the website says they have 3,500 lawn spaces and 2,500 reserved seats. My husband has always wanted to see Jethro Tull, and when he heard they were at White River Park, he purchased tickets immediately. I haven't heard Jethro Tull's music for a very long time and loved reliving their music from the 1960s through the 80s. Yes, I know, we're old. The audio could improve since we had trouble hearing the words. The images and gorgeous colors played on the screen behind the band made for a beautiful and colorful concert. It was a perfect concert and night to sit outdoors. The night was amazing with low 80°, no bugs, and a light, warm breeze. We could not have asked for a better night to see the amazing Jethro Tull at TCU Amphitheater.
Attended the Norah Jones concert here. While I have lived in Indy my entire life, I have never been to a concert in this space. The other people I went with had and kept saying how the updates/changes they did really make a big difference. I can only say for my first time I loved it. Entry was very organized. They do have the rule that you can't have a purse larger than your hand or you must have a clear purse but I'm totally ok with that rule. They check your purse and if yours is larger you can go to another area and have it locked up during the show and you can pick it up afterwards. That day the cost was $5. Once inside, it reminds me a lot of Ruoff Center in Noblesville but smaller. There are spots for lawn seating but then also seats where it is covered. It is very clean and the views are pretty amazing. We did have assigned seats and were able to see well even though they weren't near the front. There were several food and drink vendors so no need to eat before coming. Plenty of security and really just a nice expereince. Now that I have been once, I have started to check to see what other concerts/events that will be held here. I'll be back for sure!
Best Amphitheater in Indiana!!Its cleaner, it's cheaper tickets, drinks, and food costs, and it books the best shows! This is a hidden gem many don't even know exists and the breeze off the river is always nice! Parking is a breeze at the zoo with a small walk across the bridge and the sound quality is amazing!

This is my second concert at this venue and it didn't disappoint. Before the World Blows Tour at Everwise Amphitheater with Erykah Badu and The Alchemist was a good one. Parking over near the government parking garage because the parking at Everwise was $30+. Upon entering the venue, the security checkpoint wasn't too bad if you have a clear bag (as I did); but my concert partner did not so I went through the bag line with her. It was fairly quick, but if there is a size issue with your bag, you can pay to like valet check it, and this also goes for other items like too big lawn chairs, and umbrellas. Tickets were scanned off my cell phone and then we were into the venue. The concessions were a little on the pricey side - like 16 dollars for a specialty corn dog was a lot. Also there was a variety of food trucks too inside. Cocktail bars were pricey also. My friend got a gin and tonic with Snoop's Still Gin for like $27 dollars. One thing I learned, closed/unopened bottled waters are welcome into venue. One thing I saw that was nice were the charging station, where you can get portable chargers to help keep your phone charged. Bathrooms were clean and plenty of them. Also the VIP lounge was a nice size but no visibility to the stage, nor was there tvs in that area to watch the concert. There was a DJ for this tour's opening act, and it would've been better if the DJ was interacting and talking to the crowd; but he was playing good enough tracks that everyone was just vibing until Erykah stepped foot on the stage. Once E. Badu and The Alchemist hit the stage, it was lights, smoke, and vibes. Good performance and and her voice so strong, that mic is definitely still on. Good venue, but something I could've did without was all the smoke around me. I made the most of my experience and enjoyed Erykah and The Alchemist's tour. read more
Great venue to watch a concert! You don't feel so far away like other venues from the stage. Nice size venue at White River State Park. They have a long list of concerts every year. Darius Rucker and Weird Al Yancovic were just there. They have seats you can rent for the lawn. Lots of stalls in the restroom is always nice. I like how Everwise hands out insect repellent, koozies, ponchos etc. at a booth. You never know when you will need it. Lots of stands for drinks and food on both sides of the amphitheater too. read more

The new TCU Amphitheater at WRSP looks impressive. The Lawn was already a good music venue, and the amphitheater adds a permanent stage with reserved seating. The covered areas are much appreciated and we will see how it holds up against weather elements. Other updated amenities include new restrooms, water fountains / filling stations, and tented event space. The permanent fixtures do take away some lawn seating space, but there is still plenty of room to roam around. The sound quality seemed fine for the most part, but being located next to a thoroughfare there bound to be some ambient noises. You definitely get a better musical experience in the reserved seating, but this being an outdoor venue I don't think it matters much to most folks. The paid parking remains the same at the garage, or you can try your luck and find street parking nearby. Get ready for special event prices for drinks and concessions. You are allowed to bring in a factory-sealed bottled water. read more

Super clean & secure! I attended the H.E.R concert on 5/1/2022 with my friends and honestly was worried when I needed to use the restroom (if you're a regular concert attendee then you know my concerns) there were restrooms centrally located upon entrance and on both sides of the amphitheater and were beyond clean. The ushers were well acquainted with directions and row planning therefore able to adequately assist with helping us find our seats. One thing I loved and I'll keep in mind for the next concert is the fact that even lawn ticket holders had lawn chairs provided by the venue..... that is unheard of! NEVER STOP providing those lawn chairs. It kept the usual lawn chaos down to a minimum and I'm sure increased the safety of those that chose the lawn. read more

Very nice facility that I attended for a private concert last week. There is a ton of space for food vendors and plenty of stalls in the bathroom so there was never a line. Everything appeared clean and well maintained. read more
Why fix things that aren't broken? That's my mindset upon first hearing of this project announcement. Then, I remember it's all about the money lol. Think of a smaller version of the always-name-changing Noblesville outdoor venue. Lots of covered seating and now a much, much smaller lawn seating. Ticket prices have gone up (both because of seated pricing and now because of covid effects) which is frustrating. Perks: a permanent structure so hopefully more shows can happen even outside of summer months? The best part for me is the nicer bathroom setup. Not a ton of them but there are nicer ones now at least that aren't port-o-lets. Mostly upset that the lawn is 50% smaller now which means more crowded areas for those looking to have the lawn experience and save some money. read more
Are you kidding me Indy, this is one of the most beautiful concert venues in the United States. What a great small place (less than 7500) with awesome acoustics. I have been to a lot of shows all over the world and when I bought tickets to this venue I knew nothing about it other than NEEDTOBREATHE was playing there. The food is basic, and beverages are also available everywhere. Additionally, the bathrooms are also the best!!!!! Clean and well stocked. Give this place a shot you will not be disappointed. read more

Cane here for the Harry Connick Jr concert. Great seats under the awning and very reasonable prices. Really easy to enter Loads of concessions and restrooms. This is very new and well designed for medium venue size events. Concert was awesome with great sound system and two large screens to watch different stage angles. Really liked this and plan to return soon. read more
