About 2nd Street and Atlantic Ave
Located at the heart of Virginia Beach’s Oceanfront, The Dome sits at the corner of 2nd Street and Atlantic Ave. This city-owned venue, operated in partnership with Live Nation, hosts hundreds of events each year and serves as a cornerstone for the Virginia Beach Music Scene. The Dome’s flexible space combines comfortable fixed seating with an expansive outdoor lawn, bringing the total capacity to 5,000 when the outdoor area is utilized. Whether you’re catching a chart-topping act or a local favorite, we’ve got you covered with practical information to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.
Note: The Dome pays homage to the original Alan B. Shepard Dome (1958–1993) and sits on a site with a rich history of live entertainment, now reimagined for contemporary audiences.

Ticketing partners like Ticketmaster provide seating charts and accessibility details for each show. On-site parking is convenient thanks to multiple municipal garages surrounding the venue, plus an adjacent garage and venue-provided valet.
