RICHMOND, VA (CelebrityAccess) — Richmond’s newest concert venue will welcome the local community for a night of food, community and live performances as the Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront officially opens its doors on Wednesday.
Located next to the James River in Richmond’s Oregon Hill district, the 7,500-capacity venue is expected to host about 30 shows each season along with community and private events.

We’ve considered every detail, from stunning sightlines and rich acoustics to local design elements that reflect the character of the riverfront and its historic setting. Our goal is to become a lasting part of Richmond’s cultural landscape by bringing top-tier talent and unforgettable live music experiences to a city that truly loves its music,” added the venue’s general manager, Rebecca Street.
