About Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

Located along the scenic Lake Decatur shoreline in Nelson Park, Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater is a premier open-air venue hosting a lively May–September concert season. Since its renaming as The Devon G. Buffett Amphitheater at opening, the venue has continued to draw fans with a mix of established acts and rising stars. With a capacity just over 3,000, seating options range from Pit to Reserved, Terrace, and Lawn, all set against a lakefront backdrop. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining to help you secure your seats with ease.
