The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre Concerts 2025

Absolutely wonderful place to see a concert. Not a bad seat in the house. Lots of Jazz, R & B, soul, blues and hip hop. Overlooking the gorgeous river. Parking nearby, prices very reasonable. We saw Boney James and had a great time.

Great place! Very comfy seats. Beware of geese flying through. One came through and pooped on crowd.

Visited the first time for the Anthony Hamilton concert. I loved the venue but the prices were insane! We bought a small bag of chips, a tequila and tonic and a Gatorade for 38.00. The tequila was in a tiny shot glass cup. So, I don't recommend partaking of their drinks. Go to Bob's barge beforehand and have a nice cocktail. The sound was great and all of the seats were great seats. Getting out was a hassle! There needs to be logistical assistance in getting out so that you don't feel like you are being shoved all over the place. This logistical nightmare extended to getting out of the parking lots. There is no one directing traffic and it was just a free for all. That experience alone made me question coming back. I may do so but I will walk from a mile or 2 away to avoid such trauma next time.

Great venue! Right on the water. I was there for a graduation, so I can't speak to sound, but I can imagine how fun a concert would be. Seats were comfortable.

Just saw Jodeci and SWV in concert at The Aretha. Excellent venue by the water. Suggestions for improvement: more organized and efficient bar service. And for goodness sake — have some RESPECT—spell the woman’s name correctly!
