This is a good venue with good sound and a nice view of the Ohio River. Pillars make strategic selection of lawn seats a must.
Rachel RJanuary 25, 2012Grab a seat under the pavilion or bring a blanket and hang out in the "cheap seats" on the raised lawn. Still great sound!
Megan CaseyJune 30, 2015Great music venue! Even better to grab dinner and a drink beforehand at Belterra Park right next door or head there after your concert for an after party.
Jamie IacobucciSeptember 12Just perfect! Sprawling grass area, beautiful reserved seating, great food and drink options, clean restrooms…what more do you need?😊
- A RAugust 19, 2014If you want a good view of the stage, buy pavilion tickets. The lawn is comfortable with astroturf, but most views are obstructed by support beams.
- Darren SpencerAugust 5, 2013Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5 made for a great concert. Especially after spending the day watching the Reds game. Plus the concert was sold out
If you're sitting in the lawn - try and get in as soon as the gates open so you can get a good position in the front.- Steven MosleyJuly 16, 2013Do not sit on the lawn if you have any intentions of seeing the stage. Support beams at the back of the pavilion almost completely block the view of the stage unless you're at the front of the lawn.
Aimee LewisAugust 6, 2013Make sure if you get parked in any row after 6 in the grass for a concert to be prepare to sit for 2hours.
Jonathan F. JamesSeptember 11, 2013Two Step with Mr. Matthews down Grey Street for some Cornbread for your Belly Belly Nice! (See what I just did there!?)
Keep A Breast FoundationAugust 2, 2011Every summer the Vans Warped Tour comes to Cincinnati & with it comes the Keep A Breast Foundation to educate young people about breast cancer prevention & awareness! Prevention is the CURE!

Be prepared to sit in traffic after Buffett, but it's so worth it!!!
Rostrum RecordsJuly 26, 2012This venue is pretty dope. Get some friends together and chill on the lawn.
Great concerts but terrible parking and so hard to get out after the shows
Chris GibsonJune 27, 2016Apparently $9 beer isn't enough to stop people from passing out in porta potties.
Lipton Iced TeaMay 9, 2012How well do band-mates know each other? We put Lady Antebellum to the test in this video series: http://bit.ly/DrinkPositive
Lydia SitesJuly 22, 2010Purchase tickets directly from Riverbend... Skipping Ticket Master = skipping quite a few fees.

"The beer cheese on the Stadium Tater Tots was weird, thick and lacked salt. The chipotle ranch for their chicken tenders is amazing! The live band was cool and the beer selection was pretty decent!"
