Gate and show times vary for each concert and that information will be made available here.
Each concert will be held at the Frederick Meijer Gardens Amphitheater, which has undergone significant expansion and improvement since 2018, including terraced lawn seating and views of the garden and its sculptures.
The improvement project also included the completion of the Steve & Amy Van Andel Terraces for sponsor seating, added new support areas for visiting artists, backstage and loading dock improvements and increased the space in the general seating area.
In addition, the Eileen DeVries Concessions Building replaced a previous facility before the 2019 season. Organizers say the new facility’s increased capacity helps with quicker food and beverage service.
This renovation also added new restrooms outside the entry gates for guests waiting in line before concerts.
An expanded plaza area with additional entry gates helps shorten lines and wait times.
Sales to the public begin at 9 a.m. on July 10 on Etix, Meijer Gardens’ new ticketing partner.
No onsite ticket sales will take place, so guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online in advance. They may also do so by calling 1-800-514-3849.
