Experience Glen Helen Amphitheater

Glen Helen Amphitheater, located in San Bernardino, California, is a large outdoor concert venue nestled at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. Originally constructed in 1991 as Blockbuster Pavilion, it underwent several name changes before becoming Glen Helen Amphitheater. The venue’s design incorporates natural rock formations into its structure, creating a unique and visually striking backdrop for performances.

With a capacity of approximately 65,600, it's one of the largest amphitheaters in Southern California. Glen Helen primarily hosts rock, alternative, country, and large-scale music festivals like Aftershock and Knotfest – genres reflecting its historical association with louder, high-energy performances. It’s also hosted iconic events like Woodstock '94 and Ozzfest multiple times.

Beyond concerts, the surrounding Glen Helen Regional Park offers camping options for festival attendees. Unlike many amphitheaters, its location allows for substantial on-site parking and minimizes noise impact on residential areas. The venue’s open-air design and expansive lawn seating contribute to a relaxed atmosphere while still providing excellent sightlines. Its consistent presence has made it a cornerstone of the Inland Empire’s music scene for over three decades.
