The Wellmont Theater Concerts 2025

I visited this theater to see The Driver Era live! The VIP line & GA line were pretty organized. The acoustics were incredible. It gets a little hot in the theater, but that's to be expected. The staff were extremely friendly and also professional. It's in a safe area of town. My only recommendation is to just have an idea where you want to park. It's within walking distance, and it's tucked into this plaza type of section, easy to get to.

Went here for the first time this week to see Kamelot, Hammerfall and Ad Infinitum. Decent sized venue with some seating which is small but adequate. We sat in row AA right behind the sound mixer and had a perfect view. Sound mix was mostly perfect and I could hear almost everyone. Parking in the multi-story lot just next door to the venue was convenient.

Saw Frozen Soul, Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Amon Amarth. Staff is friendly and efficient, and I got in with no fuss. Sound is loud enough and decent quality, not the best and not the worst I've heard in a venue. Floor was sticky everywhere along the upstairs seating. AC worked and temp was fine. Seats are wide but low to the ground. If you're in the front of the balcony and are short, you might have the guard railings in your view. Obituary had next to the band bright white lights shining randomly into the balcony which was instant blindness from an otherwise constantly dark stage. I don't know if it was the band's choice or the venue's, but it was a really boneheaded decision. Only had water so can't comment on the liquor. There were lots of people were wandering around with beer and popcorn, though. Parking next door to the Wellmont at the South Fullerton Parking Plaza is accessed from South Fullerton Avenue, and is $30, but it's close, easy, and clean. Traffic snarls on the Parkway around here so budget in some extra time to arrive. Even though this is a Ticketmaster venue, prices were reasonable. Would return for more metal.

I had to message the venue prior and they were SO helpful! Nice venue to see a show! Only complaints were that there were no cup holders and we couldn't have caps on waters, leading to spills. Great sound in there.

This historic sanctuary, with its ornate charm and warm embrace, has long enchanted its visitors. From the echoes of acclaimed musicians to the laughter spurred by comedians, The Wellmont weaves a diverse cultural fabric that resonates with every performance it hosts. We’ve seen great shows here over the years. Highly recommended even if you have to travel to attend. Gave a meal at one of the many great restaurants in Montclair then enjoy a show!
