Virginia Beach is a top entertainment destination where you can catch outstanding performances on all kinds of platforms, from its premier venues to its city streets. Year-round the Resort City showcases the talents of national, regional and local performing artists, with some of the largest music festivals happening directly on the beach, or steps away, at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.

Its music hall will have a capacity of 3,500 but can expand to a total audience capacity of 5,000 when its doors are opened to an outdoor area. Located on 20th Street at the Oceanfront, the venue will be part of a new premier entertainment center, Atlantic Park, which will also feature the Atlantic Park Surf/Wavegarden Cove Surf Lagoon, restaurants, shopping and more.

Coming up: Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone on May 5, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo on May 7, Chicago on July 22, plus many additional shows. (See the events calendar in this newsletter for more events at The Dome and all around town.)
