About St. Augustine Amphitheatre - Backyard Stage

The Backyard Stage at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre opened in 2016 as a dedicated space for smaller acts. With general admission and standing-room-only setups, it offers an intimate concert experience behind the main stage, which sits on Anastasia Island.

While exact capacity isn’t published, industry sources estimate roughly 1,000–1,200 guests for typical Backyard Stage shows. The main venue, The Amp, holds just under 5,000 and shares its location at 1340C A1A South, St. Augustine, FL 32080. The Backyard Stage benefits from recent enhancements, including a roof upgrade in 2018, and is operated by the St. Johns County Cultural Events Division.
