What a great venue for a concert! Entire seating area was shaded by trees and even from the back row, we could see and hear great...and it felt like we were so close to the stage and artists...making for a very intimate concert. Add in the view of the lake behind the stage...and seeing so many boats drawn like magnets to the music as its sound carried across the water...and you have one awesome venue! Thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to be back many times. My only complaint is that it is so difficult to find information about this amphitheater online. Needs better online marketing that tells upcoming events/costs/ticket sales, etc. Also a layout of the venue, showing seating, parking, concessions, restrooms and explaining what items can/cannot be brought in--that kind of stuff. Can't find any of that information (even on the Lake Lanier Islands website) and numerous other people we talked to at the concert had the same complaints. C'mon guys, that's an easy fix! read more
