    Toyota Pavilion I'm here!

    The Pavilion is good vibes only fun times great music service food and drink for moderate prices.

    Two food trucks on site on concert night

    Attended a concert here on a Tuesday night, The Marley Brothers: Legacy Tour, and enjoyed the captivating sounds of reggae music and quality time with my love. There was a bit of traffic driving to the event, especially with faulty signs saying "employees only" leading to the general admission parking lot, but workers were there to help with all the confusion... and at least entering and exiting the event center before and after the show wasn't a nightmare like Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View or Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Plenty of drink stands were set up throughout, and we got ourselves a beer, as well as some pricey cocktails, the wildberry mojito and strawberry vodka lemonade (similar to Shoreline). Both were sweet and tasty and not too strong in alcohol. Food offerings were a bit limited for such a large venue. Options included chicken tenders, burgers, hot dogs, pretzels, and ice cream, as well as a two food trucks on site. Definitely false advertising or lack of communication at all on the Toyota Pavilion's website about food options available, so we didn't know what to expect as we planned to have dinner while at the event. Note, not all of their vendors were open during the weeknight concert we attended. We got lawn seats and it was quite crowded, but there was a little more space in the grass toward the rear and west side, and the view of the stage was still fine (it's good they have two large screens on both sides of the stage). I do like that they even have a food/drink stand and restrooms inside of the amphitheatre, in the back, in addition to the ones outside the arena. The stars of the show were amazing, the five brothers together performing the awesome music of the great Bob Marley. Three Little Birds reminded the engaged audience not to worry about a thing. And love was in the air with the encore of Could You Be Loved and One Love. Great way to end the night.

    I really wanted to like this venue. I like outside venues that are tucked away. I've learned with my experience with The Shoreline that you get to the venue early. As parking is a bit tricky. You don't want to park so far out that because after a night of dancing, singing and drinking to have to walk back to your car is a task in it of itself. So we arrived about an hour and a half before the start of the show. They direct you to your parking space. Leaves people from parking too dang close. You gotta squeeze in and out of your car. So that was nice. Also, take a photo of the nearest parking sign that usually notes a letter or number or a combo of both. So you can find your car later. This is to assume you've ensured your phone is charged to 100. Ladies, with venues such as these, you can't take in a purse larger than an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper and sometimes smaller. What I liked about this place is they have an actual NO Bags line. Which had no line at all, and we zipped thru. If you have virtual tickets make sure you got them pulled up on your phone by the time you get up to the qr code reader..no one wants to stand behind someone trying to rifle through their phone. Just be courteous. So we get through and figure we have to walk to the right, which is a slight incline up a hill. Not bad before the start of the show but I did wonder how some of these females in their heels was gonna make it down at the end of the night. The first booth we come across as we got to the top was a chair rental booth. Chair rentals was $10. We got seats so didn't need the chairs. Then it opens up to drink booths and a large food/bevvie wall. Bathrooms to the right and were maintained well. I used the restroom twice and both times there was a lady in their tidying up. We grabbed a couple of waters (liquid death) and their bottomless popcorn. Found our seats and just hung out. It was 6:45 when we got to our seats and show started at 7:30. No stress..no fuss...just sat and enjoyed the cool breeze and scrolled on our phones. Seats started filling in but even an hour into the show it didn't seem as if the seats were filled. Then slowly but surely they did and I think it was people from the lawn trickling down. The seating was funny. It seemed as if the seats in front if you are lower but they aren't that much lower. So when the people in front of you stand up its hard to see the stage and sometimes the large TV monitors. Not conducive to concert enjoyment when you are short like me. It was a little annoying to find out the people in front of you weren't even supposed to be there, so a little crowd control would have been nice. Next time I guess I just need to get tickets right behind the wall so no one is seated in front of me. Also, no one is mindful of the no smoking, so if that's an issue for you then I suggest don't do the outside venues. You won't be able to escape it. Leaving at the end of the night was definitely as expected. Stay seated and let the first wave of people leave. Unless you want to be shuffling out with a crowd and have the possibility of getting your food stepped on or a drink spilled on you by a drunk person. As we are leaving the Mexican hot dog carts are lined up and busy. $10 a hot dog majority of them took Venmo, etc. Leaving the parking lot is a nightmare..for most venues. So be patient and expect the slow crawl out or hangout in your car and tailgate. The lack of a complete 5 stars is the lack of crowd control and the way the seats are set up. Although don't know if they can even change that because the seats are bolted down. Employees were friendly and answered questions thoroughly. If I come back I'll just need to remember which seats to choose.

    Managed to score $25 tickets to see Garbage and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds on a Tuesday night. Drove from SF. Their opener started at 7pm. We left the city at around 6:30pm and got to the parking lot by 7:30pm. If we had left earlier we would have been in traffic another 20-30 mins. Parking was free. Parked in section E2, and the walk up the hill to the pavilion wasn't bad at all. We didn't have any bags with us, just a couple of blankets so the line to get in was quick. We didn't even go through the metal detector and no one checked our blankets to see if we tried to smuggle anything in (which we didn't!). Check the website or their IG page to see what is allowed before you attend so their aren't any surprises. Drinks are expensive. They take cashless payments. Check the weather before hand, it might get cold at night. Wish they sold hot drinks. I brought a reusable plastic rolled up bottle so filled it up at the water fountain next to the restrooms. The water fountain was dirty. The food stands was near the restrooms and next to the pavilion. Got the nachos - $10 + smoked brisket for $5 additional. Good munchies but they don't have any utensils, so take lots of napkins. Once seated there's staff going around selling popcorn, beer, cotton candy and churros. The churros was warm but by the time it got to me it got cold quick. If you're sensitive to loud music remember to bring concert ear plugs. We enjoyed the show and we always leave 2 songs before the show ends so we can get out of the parking lot quicker. Got back to SF in 50mins.

    It'd been 20+ years since seeing a concert here so had no real expectations. I was happily surprised and delighted with just about every aspect that the venue offered. Parking was simple and organized (arrival AND departure), security and entry was efficient, directional signage was clear, restrooms were clean, plenty of food and drink options with enough staff to keep lines moving. I'll look forward to coming back if they host another band/artist I was to see. Note: knocked off 1 star since they listed a vegetarian burger on their menu which they no longer served. Not cool (the misleading menu and the lack of offering)

    One of the best concerts of my life. Venue was well organized, drinks were good (&expensive). Pictures are from section 2 row KK

    I live within a mile from the Pavilion. So I've seen many many concerts here. I've mainly gotten lawn tickets because of them being so much cheaper than seats. On Friday night My Husband and I saw whiskey Myers, and went all out to get seats. Pretty Good seats! The concert itself was phenomenal. I didn't have anybody rowdy or disrespectful around me. The lighting, sound, TV screens and graphics were so damn awesome.!!! Lots of friendly staff everywhere. My Husband and I quit drinking, so it was really cool to see lemonade stands that also sold pretzels with cheese and churros! But the CHAIRRRRRRS. Lawd, the chairs... My only gripe is how small and narrow the fucking seats are. My husband, an average sized man, was bumping elbows and legs with the man next to him. Luckily, I was on the end, but getting beat down on by the sun and being super super cramped next to my husband as he's sweating and hot too. It was NOT the biz. The seats are unrealistically small. And I'm not talking about just for someone like me with booty. I mean like anybody unless you're a middle school kid, everybody was packed in like sardines and it was extremely uncomfortable. Honestly, I can't even believe how these seats were when people pay good money to sit in them. I saw a guy a couple rows up, stand up and fight the seats apart so he could have a little space. My husband and I tried this but we were unsuccessful. I mean total SARDINES. You are guaranteed to go to second base with the stranger next to you just trying to adjust yourself to get comfortable. Big booty girls, you need a chair and a half so buy 2 seats next time. Step up your game, Concord Pavilion!

    It's quite the haul to get here from the South Bay, but once our journey was complete, it was worth the drive. Venues like this are always going to have a traffic backup to get into, and this was no different. But once you're out of the car, it's a pretty organized system to get in. I liked how they had a decent amount of drink and food options, so none of the lines got too long. We were able to get seats about 5 rows from the stage, so it felt like a show in my living room!

    It drops you off right in front of the venue close by the entry gates and the box office. There's still a little bit of a walk to get inside and to your seat or the lawn.

    How long does it take to park?

    Took me an hour to park and get into venue

    How much do they charge for chair rentals?

    Has anyone taken Uber or Lyft to the Pavilion? Where do they drop you off and pick you up? How does this work?

    I took Uber and they drop you off right at the bottom of the hill. Whatever you do, do not take a taxi back. They will rip you off big time. Take Uber. I got charged 15 dollars for a 1 1/2 mile trip using a Taxi.

    Is the Pavilion open on Sunday?

    Yes.

    Looking into taking my 16 y/0 son to a concert here ? Will be my first time .. any recommendations on seating ? Looking for reasonable pricing seating. I'm not looking into sitting in the lawn area for sure. Thanks!

    The lawn seating is pretty far. We sat kind of the center of the stadium and it was perfect.

    I am wanting to purchase Luke Bryan's VIP pass, I need to know if it's all worth it before spending 500$! How many occupants allowed inside the VIP club lounge to watch the private performance??? Hundreds?

    Hi, so the VIP lounge isn't where you watch the show. I'm not sure what is included in his package, but this one included dinner and a DJ was there and you could get massages. You have your own private bathroom so you don't have to wait. For the VIP… Read more

    How are the lawn seats? Being a blanket and snacks? Anything else I should know?

    Has anyone used the fast pass to skip the line? If so is there a separate line or just walk up to security?

    Fast pass is only beneficial when not everybody buys one. Think about this. If you have 8000 people coming and 6000 of them bought fast passes then thats 6000ppl waiting in 1 line and leaving the other 6 lanes empty. So u can pay for a fast pass and… Read more

    If you get chilly easily you could. But with how hot it is...I didn't bother

    What time do the concerts usually end?

There were four of us. Everyone except me is very fond of red meat--I am not. When I looked at the menu online, I was happy to see they offered several non-meat options. I decided on the shrimp scampi and looked forward to it all week. What a disappointment. The six shrimp arrived at room temperature, and the butter sauce they were sitting in was also barely warm. The shrimp did not appear to have been cooked in the sauce at all. They looked and tasted like plain boiled shrimp--exactly like the pre-cooked shrimp you can buy at Costco. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they came from. The sauce tasted like pure melted butter, with no noticeable garlic or white wine flavor--just plain butter. I suppose this is what I get for ordering a non-meat entrée at a steakhouse, but if you can't make a decent option for non-meat eaters, don't bother putting it on the menu. The French onion soup, however, was delicious. I would order only that again if I had to return. The creamed spinach was just okay--honestly, the one I make at home is much better. The baked potato was also very good and served piping hot, which I especially appreciated after the tepid shrimp. I did not order dessert, but my niece and sister both had cheesecake. They did not charge for it since it was their birthdays, which was very much appreciated. They also do not serve bread at this restaurant--or at least none was offered or brought to the table. Another thing I found strange was the layout. There is a very narrow hallway leading to the dining rooms on the right, and right in the middle of that hallway is the computer station where the waitstaff enter orders. I would hate to be a server here--it seems like one of the worst possible places for it. People were constantly trying to squeeze past while the staff were standing there trying to work.

So we were delighted (and surprised) to see an advertisement for a play in Clayton put on by a local theater company - the Clayton Theater Company. Community theater in Clayton? We had to check this out! With a super convenient location, we chose a weeknight evening showing. A short drive to the theater, free diagonal parking literally across the street from Endeavor Hall in Clayton, reasonable ticket prices - this definitely was not a San Francisco or Berkeley theater experience! We were fans before the show even started. This was true community theater. Much work was done by volunteers, people giving their time to foster arts in their community. Talking to some people involved in the production, rehearsals went on for a couple months beforehand, actors and musicians rehearsing hours into the night after working a full day. The play was "Radio Hour", a dramatization of a 1940s radio variety hour production. The play was wonderful, and featured a marvelous blend of drama, singing, dancing and music. The live music really made the show. As a bonus we took away insights and an appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work of early radio productions. Endeavor Hall has constraints as to stage size and we admired the creativity behind the stage setting and production to optimize what they had. Unbeknownst to us, the Clayton Theater Company has been putting on productions since at least 2013, typically at least a couple a year. Past productions have included Arsenic and Old Lace, Urinetown, Rumors, and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. They won several 2017 Shellie Awards. Community theater fans in the area owe it to themselves to check out the Clayton Theater Company.
