We went for the Weezer/Panic! At The Disco and Swimming With The Bears show. All of the bands were fantastic! My only concern was the way the line up was set up for entering the venue. It could have been more organized by ticket type. It was also incredibly dangerous to not have provided water (like they do for marathons), when the policies state that you cant bring water/umbrellas into the venue. There were several people (young/inexperienced and older, alike) that fainted due to heat exposure. I understand that the venue itself is not responsible for that, but please understand, and take precautions for other summer shows. It could have been a lot worse--especially due to the amount of people crammed into such a tight space while waiting. Protect yourselves and figure out a safer plan. More importantly and relevant to today: What if there was an emergency situation?? How would that many people efficiently leave the area in a safe(r) manner? My concern is for your staff and personnel, as well. What is the game plan? I suggest that you guys sit down and come up with one, if you have not already. Same goes for merch booth sales lines. Make it safer for everybody involved. Offer multiple booths on opposite sides of venue; not just one--youll get people in and out quicker. Other than that, I was pretty impressed with bag checks upon entering. The staff was friendly and dealt with the heat as well. The rain was incredibly special and added a great vibe to Weezers Sweater! This was our first time for a show here and it was a totally rad experience. Thanks for a great time!

The event was quite a rip off. The evening was filled with thunderstorms and scattered showers. It began early in the day and continued beyond the concert. It was no surprise as it was forecast by the national and local weather service. Rather than the promoters canceling the show (as it was on outside open air event) and issuing refunds, they chose to have the bands play in the inclimate weather. Foghat played three songs and Steppenwolf played five. 50% or more of the ticket holders were no shows. Those of us who stayed sat in the rain. And yes it rained and poured off and on for the ENTIRE HOUR & HALF that the TWO bands played. I understand Ticketmaster has no responsibility for this as the event ticket agency. However the promoters and owners of Concrete Street should have offered some type of compensation, possibly tickets to a future event for the shortened performance. The bands were good for a three and five song performance. At 55.00 per ticket, we certainly did not receive our money’s worth from the promoter or owners of Concrete Street. I can honestly say as a result of our experience, as I was with my son, brother, nephew and friend we all agree that we may not attend venues here in the future.

Just an OK concert venue. The entry/exit process is a little slow. I got there early so parking was fine. We were in the pit, but I noticed "seating" was very scattered and random. Not actual amphitheater style seating. Would have given 3 stars, but the venue is cash only. That was a major problem for me. Only went in with $20 for water or whatever. Had planned on using a card for merch. So I had to find an atm. No big deal, except only 1 atm had money in it, so the line was ridiculously long. Could yall please consider upgrading to take debit/credit.

What I enjoy about it is free parking depending where you park at, Ive get along with the staff, tax free on advertisements except they dont take credit or debit cards, its an outdoor environment, and my favorite reason for going is mosh pitting but no body surfing for me leave that for the women only because I do not want to get thrown on the concrete floor and/or pickpocket but the only thing I dislike is once youre in youre in because if you leave its less likely theyll let you back in but other than that I really enjoying their.

Several nationally known groups play here. Great place for summer rock shows. Has a large covered pavilion stage as well as a large outdoor stage. There are several parking lots nearby. Used to be free, but it looks like most of them are charging now unless you walk from a good distance away. There is motorcycle parking just outside the front gate on both sides of the road. That is free parking. Good security and police presence during shows here.

Needs seating you dont have to pay extra... shade structures are needed. When concerts in the smaller stage area the sound system outside of the covered area is off. Too many barriers are up to block the view of the stage if you are outside of the covered area. Security is even more intense than an airport and they need to be friendlier. For as much as the price for tickets including fees you should get more amenities. Restrooms could be fixed up as well.

Great place for a concert! Walked right up to the stage after getting food and a drink at the venue. Five finger rocked the place and I enjoyed the show with one of the best seats I ever had. Standing front row middle stage rocking all night. Parking was free and easy access and leaving that night was no problem. If you like taking photos with your phone this is the place as you can see by looking at my samples.

Concrete Street has always been my favorite place to go for concerts. My very first big concert ever was at Concrete & I got to see the oh so yummy Mr. Rob Zombie. I prefer Concrete over any of the other places in Austin, San Antonio & Houston. And prices on beer & everstuff? Oh well! You cant put a price on having an excellent time listening to live music by your favorite musician!

Concrete Street is a great place to have an awesome time enjoying your favorite bands. The small stage offers a close encounter with the artists as they perform and the big stage gives an intense and amazing experience when the artists are up theyre playing! Its a great time with food and drinks to go around!

We got the VIP Experience for the Randy Rogers/ Cody Johnson concert. It was nice having an area with table seating without the general crowd having access. It came with catered dinner and private bar. It would be hard to see the stage from the back tables and thats the only thing I disliked.

Saw labor day by the bay! Had a blast! Wish there was seating other than on the grass. Thought the evening was fun but from standing on the concrete from 6 to 12 my whole body hurt, also the price for beer or other yummy beverages was a complete rip off!

Great stage setup....Very Poor entrance management (over an hour to walk in) One way in and out ( potential for huge accident) Parking was limited, No where to real sit (Wear comfortable footwear) Other than the Music, Not a very experience.

We went in the peak heart of summer the fans inside the pavilion made it very comfortable. The merch booths were a nice distance away from the stage so it wasnt so crowded. The bathrooms were so clean which is huge for this type of venue.

Great venue. Sound was good. My view most the night was the back of a very tall man, but thats not the venue s fault. Security was very attentive, even helped me get out of the crowd when it got to be too much for me.
