The Palmdale Amphitheater — Attraction in Palmdale

We went to the Palmdale Amphitheater for the first time to see the Patti Labelle concert. The concert was great. My 3 star review is for the amphitheater.

First, if you purchase seats in the preferred area, there is no need to bring a chair or get there too early. We arrived 2 hours early, and 45 minutes before the concert there were still seats around us. The preferred seats were great, but a little too close together.

You wait an hour for 1 minute of fun. Definitely won’t waste our time next year. Just...

I'm so pleased with the concerts and events the Palmdale amphitheater has been doing. The events are fun and nice to hang out with family or friends depending on what it is. For the concert nights, tickets can be purchased on line or at gate. They have cops on site and security checks at entrance. They serve beer & wine cash only and limited to 3 drinks a person. There are food vendors as well most take cash or cards. Movie nights with the kids can get pretty packed, get there a little early to get a spot on grass. Theres activities...
