I've gone to many concerts here and it's a great place outside for concerts. The lawn seats are priced cheap and you can still get a great view of the stage as long as you sit in the front area of the grass and don't have too many people in front of you. You can rent chairs there to sit in for $10-$15 that you return at the end of the night. They no longer allow you to bring your own chairs anymore. You can bring in blankets to sit on which I recommend. The grass does get little bugs and nats but I brought a portable fan and it kept them away. They have a huge selection of food, drinks and serve alcohol. The price for the food is expensive. I got 3 street barbacoa tacos and it was $24! The homemade lemonade was $9.78 and pretzel was $9.78 with no cheese. They have a great stage set up and the sound system is amazing. The only thing that is horrible is the parking situation. I recommend you buy the VIP parking so you can get good parking when arriving but more so when you leave because you're able to beat the traffic and not have to wait in line to leave for hours because of the one way out. The VIP and handicap parking allows you to drive in the center lanes and skip the one lane main parking line. It's in the middle of Wheatland and close to Hard Rock Casino. read more

Toyota Amphitheatre - Hilary Duff 2026 - Music Venues Near Me - Wheatland, California

Just saw the Santana / Doobie Brothers concert, GREAT SHOW by both bands the venue itself needs some better planning. The parking lot after trying to find your car is next to impossible they need better lighting and assistance. Once we finally found the car, it the better part of an hour sitting in the waiting to get out of the parking lot. They need more entrances/exit. The one way in one way out is a killer for me, until they address some of those issues I doubt that I'll be back REGARDLESS of who is playing. read more

This is a unique entertainment venue located seemingly in the middle of nowhere. That said, it's conveniently located right next to the Hard Rock Hotel, which makes finding overnight accommodations incredibly easy. The amphitheater itself has a unique circular design, and when you first enter, you'll walk right into an area filled with food, drinks, and merchandise vendors. The seating and stage area are laid out in a semicircle, and while the amphitheater isn't huge, it's not overly small either. The layout is designed so you feel relatively close to the stage regardless of where you're sitting. The seats were comfortable for the couple of hours we were there, and the cup holders attached to the seats in front of us were a nice touch. There were also plenty of employees and security personnel around to help direct guests to their seats and keep things orderly. I can't speak much about the parking situation or the road leading into the amphitheater. The road isn't particularly wide, so I could see it becoming pretty bottlenecked when traffic is heavy. My recommendation would be to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. They provide guests with free shuttle service to and from the amphitheater. The shuttles use a dirt road to bypass the traffic and take a direct route to the venue. They also stop traffic to give the shuttles priority, which made getting to and from the venue extremely convenient. For us, staying at the Hard Rock and using the shuttle was absolutely worth it, especially compared with driving, dealing with traffic, and paying for parking. Overall, we had a great experience at the amphitheater and would definitely visit again! read more

I appreciate seeing many reviews here regarding Saturday's Santana/Doobie Brothers concert and say ditto to most things. --Carlos Santana and Doobie Bros with Michael MacDonald were great. Stage, sound, lighting also great. --**The heat. This amphitheatre really needs to make changes not only for the comfort but also the physical safety of concert goers on excessively hot days. I may not attend here again because of this, it was just too much and not something I'm usually thinking about. Was 101-105 degrees hours before show when long lines started forming. No shade or awnings for those in line, no water misters. Also, because of the prohibition on bringing in open beverages and food (empty water thermoses ok) I'm sure many did not have cool icy hydration with them. I tossed my own water/ice before I realized the waiting line was long and bought a lemonade from vendor which helped but... --Also too hot to sit in unshaded seats before show. I and a few others found shade standing near sound booth. Must confess, I suddenly got full on heat sick. Went to concert solo and fortunately got water and help from kind strangers, and a cardboard fan I'd somehow missed at entrance, helped. But this venue needs to care, there were many older people, people in wheelchairs, or just baking young people. --Need more obvious stations to fill water bottles at venue with COLD water (gosh with ice would be great). Shade. Water misters. Awnings for lines. Being cognizant of excessive heat on such days. --Parking. You have to remember to glance at sign above when leaving car, but at night after concert it's hard to figure out what direction, bunch of lost wandering people. Once in car, waiting to merge into stream of traffic leaving lot, it's a stuck free-for-all for an hour, no staff are visible or helping or creating system. Then suddenly stream moved as staff far ahead waved our "lane" through, not sure why there was not more give & take re waving cars through. --Food and drinks are pricey. $13 kettle corn, $26 drinks. --If using GPS phone app, be sure and enter the actual amphitheatre address. This is weird but I used a typical phone GPS app, selected choice for Toyota Amphitheatre, took a weird winding back route through almond fields and ended up at a city park 15 minutes from venue. Weird so just enter the address. --website FAQs page does say no aerosol sunscreen, clear bags only, no lawn chairs, and other rules. Good to read through and also watch text alerts. --The staff throughout were nice, they just needed more of them at parking lot after show. read more

I've attended multiple concerts here, and each time, the traffic and parking situation have been terrible. Rental lawn chairs RUIN the experience because they block everyone's view, and it's always scorching hot with hardly any shade. What more can I say? Never again! However, I have to give 5 stars to Santana and The Doobie Brothers, who played their hearts out! read more

The parking situation is going to be the main reason I never wanna come back. There was a long line and wait to even get into the parking lot. And getting out took about 2 hours. This is insane! I've been to a lot of concerts and shows over the last decade and this place has the absolute worst parking experience ever. The venue itself is nice, got cheap lawn seats, but it was so far from the stage. I wish there were screens by the lawn area so we can see closer up. read more

This is my first time coming to this amphitheater. I was hoping it was similar to Mountain View's Shoreline amphitheater. But honestly, who puts an amphitheater in the middle of nowhere? The pros is that it's secluded from the city so the noise can be as loud they want. Also it's only a five min drive from the Hard Rock Casino. But there was a lot of cons... Came here for the Hilary Duff concert which I was super excited about. Drove 50 mins from Sacramento. Approaching closer to the amphitheater, it turns into one lane only and traffic was backed up. They had premier parking and general parking. We paid $20 online for general parking. The lanes were a bit confusing to follow. They had signs but I felt like they could have directed it better. General parking was far and was in a dirt lot. They scanned our pass on our phone and directed us to park. Luckily they had letters and numbers on poles to indicate where we parked. The way they lined up in front of the amphitheater was super confusing as well. They had two different lines. One line that was outside the front gate and only had two security guards check while the other one had 4-6 security guards. We unfortunately waited in the slower line. Eventually we get through the first security check. But when I walked through the detector, I was the only one in my group that had to go through a second detector. We got our tickets scanned and walking in, it was super crowded. They had a water shower thing that was cute. The outside area, where they had all the food, merch, and bars were super crowded with long lines and it felt very small. We got lawn tix ($22). The amphitheater itself is pretty big. We got in about 7pm. There were a lot of people who rented out lawn chairs and claimed spots already. Our group of six got a decent spot on the back left side. We were able to bring our foldable blankets, snacks and etc. That day was really hot and muggy so luckily we brought our portable fans. But it still was so hot and humid. I was able to grab a few hand fans from the Hard Rock Casino booth was giving out for free. Merch line was super long at least one hour wait. I had one pizza that my friend bought and it was okay. Typical expensive concert food and drinks price. The regular bathrooms were crowded and had lines. Ended up using the porta potties that were at the back left cuz there was no line. They were so small and cramped. It was only 8:30pm and the sinks already ran out of water. They had a water refill station. They had many tall poles with speakers with good sound but they didn't have additional TV screens like they have at Shoreline. There was only two big TV screen on each side of the stage. The views of the sunset were really pretty. La Roux was a good opener. Only really knew her last song. Hilary came out at 9pm and the rest of the show was amazing! So much fun and a great performer. She ended around 10:30pm. This was the worst part! We got back to the car around 11pm after a long walk from the amphitheater. There were so many lines of cars that were not moving one bit. Wired fences and barricades so couldn't even cut through certain spots. I also had little cellular service so I couldn't load anything on my phone. We finally started moving 50 mins later and we finally see people with lights directing the traffic? Where were they earlier? And then leaving the venue all the police blocked all the intersections so you're forced to only turn left and go one exit for a very long time. We didn't get home till 1am. I really hope they have more lanes driving into the venue because why would you have a huge amphitheater and only have one lane? Hopefully they have people directing traffic better. I would not come back. read more

Parking sucks! Not proper parking instructions or signs so you know where you parked. Tried asking for help and the workers do not care and won't help you. Also they do not let you bring in purchased drinks with lids but then sell it walking around after we had spent money on cups. Never again. Worst venue you could go to. Worst experience 1 star. Also food served is cold as well. read more

This isnt about Pitbull and Lil Jon, who were fantastic , but about the venue. I have been coming here for years as I do love me some good live music. Arrival: The venue is located avout 3/4 of a mile down from the Hard Rock Hotel/Casino nestled in between Hwy 70 and Hwy 65, getting into the venue parking is relatively smooth depending on your arrival time. Obviously the closer you arrive to start of showtime, the more traffic, thus slower entrytime. I arrived just over 90 minutes early as I wanted to be sure to have butts in seat for Lil Jon. I had advanced paid for general parking(new this year as in past GP was included with admission) I was filtered and directed through to an exterior lot (unpaved) and smoothly directed to a spot by one of the many parking attendants about. After parking, and I cant stress enough, i took a pic of the closest lot sign so i knew my location, My party (wife and children(all. 20+ age) walked towards the venue and through security to enter. Again, early, so made it through security and ticket gate smoothly (efficient lines for security broken into those with bags and those without) took a quick pic(security used my camera for me) then scanned tickets for entry. Given the artists playing, it was a party atmosphere like a ginormous club, Drinks, $$$$$$, you want em, they have em, but you are going to pay. Im too old to plop on the grass so I spent a few extra to be in a seat, my kids (some added late) were up on the lawn View from seat is great. Its a fun venue for a show. Staff, everyone from security, parking, tickets, vendors were friendly, helpful ,overall great. So why the 3 stars,.... It was obvious once the show started that they had a lack of staffing for a sold out show The normal ushers to check your tickets were nowhere to be seen in the walkway between the lawn area and 200 sections, not once in the couple trips from my seat in between Opener and Headliner did I see an usher in this area, let alone asked to verify my ticket, therefore I can only assume any adventurous person from the Lawn could easily have slipped down to the seats. Restrooms, there are two brick & mortar restrooms on the concourse areas on either side fom the entry, and then 2 large banks of porta pottys on either side just down steps from the lawn area, but from appearance(lack of staffing ?) On the side outside the 211 section appeared full bank open, long long lines, outside the 201 section, this bank looked like only had 2 portas open, and a whole larger bank was behind a fence not in use. Show was great, sound, comfort and vendors walking avout selling drinks or snacks. After the show, just settle in, we walked back to our vehicle, but the plethora of parking attendants from entry seemed to be maybe 1/2, or just stationed elsewhere as lines to get out were slow or bot moving at all. Knowing this going in, I settled in for the wait and amused myself watching the many people who did NOT note their parking area when arriving wander about clueless to the location of their vehicle. Suggestions to improve leaving, they need at least one or two more exits, and if they have them, I didnt see, but some lit portas out in the outer parking if we are going to have these waits. read more

The fact that they won't let you bring in a chair and they want you to rent one. But they don't have enough chairs to cover the amount of general admission tickets they sell. And not enough shade for concerts In triple digit weather. read more

Although I had an amazing time at the concert I attended at this venue, I will have to say the parking situation is not a good time when you do GA parking. It took us an hour and a half to get out of the parking lot after driving over to find a way to exit. We probably would've been there longer if we didn't keep driving to different car lanes to get out. The parking situation when leaving the venue after the event was unorganized and had a mess of cars driving all over the parking lot just to cut people in line from being impatient. read more

Came here to see Motionless In White yesterday. However, I did have to stand in the heat for a while for vip. Compared to a previous experience, I did appreciate them moving us to a shaded area to wait after a while (around 4:30 ish or later?). I don't think I will be going to a show in 100+ degree weather again though. read more

came here for a miw show and got vip. stood in the heat for an hour. security finally decided to let us through after 5p. they say you can bring an empty bottle for water for their refill stations. then while everyone has been in line IN 100° WEATHER they then fucking say if you're in the pit you aren't allowed your bottle of water???? WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT??? told me no i couldn't take my backpack in which clearly had medical items in it. then told me that i couldn't take in my sunscreen and made me throw away my $20 sunscreen. so at this point. i want the fucking venue to reimburse me for the fucking sun screens i had to throw away. bc nowhere on their emails nor website does it say you couldn't bring sunscreen. poor ass fucking management. my friend also paid $30 extra for the fast pass. yet, they didn't let them in at their scheduled time they were supposed. let fast pass AND general in at the same time. not only that, but vip didn't get all the way through before they started letting general and fast pass in. fuck this entire venue. the employees were also beyond rude and disrespectful. i will definitely not be returning to the venue again. i'll find another nearby location. if there's a show you wanna see at this venue... find the next closest location bc this place was a SHIT SHOW. i'm so fucking pissed. read more

Not ADA friendly. Currently here for a Hilary Duff concert. When buying tickets for our group of 4 there were no ADA seats available we emailed before purchasing the tickets and were told "just pick 4 seats and when you get here we'll get you taken care of" which meant a rude women belittling us and splitting up our group of 4 into 2's in complete different parts of the amphitheater. If you can't buy ADA and have a disability don't listen to them and what they promise. This is NOT acceptable. Do better. We did everything on our end to make sure we did it right including emailing you in advance.2 of the 4 in the party even got in at opening and asked right away to ensure we got accommodations and the grumpy Old women was anything but helpful. read more

Killer show by Toto and Christopher Cross, but the new **$25 parking charge** seriously hurt the experience. I've been attending concerts at the Wheatland Amphitheatre for **over 20 years**, and general parking was always included. Now they suddenly charge $25, yet we're still parking in the same dirt and gravel lots. What makes it even harder to justify is that **the night before**, I attended 311 at the Toyota Pavilion in Concord. General parking there was **included with the ticket -- and the parking lot was paved.** So what exactly are Wheatland customers getting for the extra $25? The lots weren't paved. I didn't see new parking facilities. The experience wasn't materially better. It appears we're simply being charged extra for something that was included for decades. That feels like a **money grab**, plain and simple. Great concert. Great performers. But charging longtime customers $25 to park in the same dirt lot they've used for years is ridiculous. read more

I haven't attended a music festival since 1997, in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I went to Country Jam USA, 4 summers in a row. Now, I wanted to attend the Outlaw Music Festival to see some legends. I wasn't disappointed ! We got good seats. It was a splurge. We also pre-purchased parking ticket, good thing! Parking was easy but traffic exiting, was rough. Took over an hour. But that's too be expected. I let it slide because that's how festivals are. Location is not desirable. Hard to find, but this way neighbors can't complain about music being too loud. The food and beverage options reminded me of a state fair, which is good. Artist merch and everything was easy to find. I did like how vendors set up. Impressive for a music venue. Good quality for an amphitheater. Good size and sound. It would be nice to have a little more shade, but understandable. Bathrooms are okay. They need more cleaning attention, but so thankful there were so many stalls! My favorite part was seeing they sell food for after the show! Not many venues offer that. Overall, for an outdoor venue, they are very good! read more

We bought VIP tickets and waited in line at the VIP entrance for a concert at Toyota Amphitheater. We waited for an hour to get in when the tickets said we'd be let in between 4:00 and 5:30. When they finally were ready to scan our tickets they only had one scanner and that one did not read barcodes. So this older overweight lady that could barely walk was sent to get the barcode scanner. It was extremely hot and we waited and waited... she finally comes hobbling up with the scanner and we were let in after mass confusion by the employees who didn't seem to know what they were doing. They had 1 person scanning tickets which had a huge long "VIP?" Line. My question is .. Why weren't they prepared and ready when they opened the gates? This was VIP? It did not meet up to the term VIP! It didn't even meet up to customer service standards. This I thought was a professional venue and they have ill equipped people working there. Is there training they go through to scan tickets? They were setting up as the gates were opening. This is Unacceptable and needs to be looked into and rectified. This was poorly executed. I could not believe the confusion and could not believe this was a professional venue. It was like a comedy of errors. Toyota Amphitheater needs to hire able bodied employees and get some serious training for the set up of the entry to their shows. The whole thing put a damper on the concert experience. We'll go again but if it's a repeat of last nights experience we won't be returning. read more

Type Toyota amphitheater has totally lowered the bar of the concert experience. They were Barker's selling vodka and food items during the concert yelling out their food items like it were a baseball game. Tell her they're making the extra money by charging for parking, entrance into the venue is a tedious long wait even if you get there an hour or two earlier. Also expect that your need to be cleaned after you spend your time driving around the dirt parking lot. read more

Great venue. Please work on the parking situation though because leaving is a NIGHTMARE. They need guidance in each lot rather than just waiting until the very end of the lot to guide folks. Also, would not recommend food as it is super greasy/hit or miss on the service. Bring Tums/Pepto if it's your only option. read more

Does the traffic to get here suck? Yes Does the parking suck? Yes Does the line to get in suck? Yes Does the line to the bathrooms ( only ONE?!) Suck? Yes Does getting out of the parking lot into a jammed traffic backup suck? YES But... just know this and be patient and prepared and go and enjoy the AMAZING sound this venue puts out. I had the BEST time I had seats in section 206 row 9 directly in the middle. We left about 1.5 hours prior to the show from Thunder Valley Casino, and instead of a usual 24 minute ETA it DID take about an hour to get there. Being the first time I've been to this venue it was a bit confusing on where to go for general parking but once you hit a certain spot in the line there are people directing traffic. The line to get in was so so so long but moved decently fast. Bring a small 6x9 purse or a clear bag only. I do have to say we came in late summer so it wasn't scorching hot it was definitely warm and then cooled off when sun went down, probably wouldn't enjoy a show in hotter weather as much. We had a little time to get concessions and I got liquid death water 8$ and French fries 8$. The fries were surprisingly yummy! (I'm on a diet limitation and this is all I could have) but they have pizza, burgers, cocktails, etc. the line wasn't terrible at all. The line to the bathroom in between bands though?!?! Woahhhhh it literally wrapped around like the whole concession area, but alas it moved fairly quickly. But really wild they have one bathroom area I guess there's porta potty's but no thanks. As for the show... it was incredible. The sound was some of the best I've heard in a venue. I think it's the amphitheater that helps that so sound Carries instead of bounces off itself. F1nger11, 3 doors down, and Creed all rocked out so hard. It was so amazing! Other than other annoying concertgoers that would literally just YELLLLLL in the middle of songs, it was awesome. Would absolutely come back even with all the frustrations of getting there! read more

First time seeing a show there and we were nervous about the traffic and security lines after seeing bad reviews here. We got to the Doobie Brothers concert an hour and a half early and had no problem with getting parked. We tailgated for a while then breezed in. Great show, which looked nearly sold out. Leaving was just as easy with plenty of staff directing traffic. Only cons, they have a large area of porta-potties on the side of the amphitheater farthest from the entrance. There is no lighting in that area...you definitely need your phone light, but it was quick, and without waiting. And drink prices are high! Be prepared to pay for your buzz! read more

Went to Toyota Amphitheater for the first time to see Willie Nelson at the Outlaw Festival. Loved the layout of the venue--just not the way it's run. We got there 2 hours early and had no issues with traffic or VIP parking... mostly because they didn't even check for a VIP pass. I'm sure everyone was suddenly "VIP" that day. Brought a stadium seat clearly allowed per their own website ("soft seating pads without a hard frame are allowed"), only to be told by security I couldn't bring it in. After 45 mins in line, I was faced with the classic "toss it or hike back to your car" ultimatum. Spoiler alert: I handed it off to someone already through security. If they get to ignore the rules, so do I. Ticket scanning was another masterclass in inefficiency: 20 minutes to process a dozen people. But hey, once inside, food and drink lines were quick, and the venue was clean with a soft, dirt-free lawn. Chair rentals were available, which might explain the no-outside-chair nonsense. Cute how they make money by denying things they say are allowed. On the plus side, all chairs were low to the ground, so at least no one's view was blocked. Yay? The venue's smaller than expected (18,500 capacity). Great views from the lawn, and the sun was mercifully behind us from 4pm on. Handicap seating on the lawn was free and staff there were kind and helpful. Now, the popcorn scam: My mom got suckered into buying the refillable tub. We went back for a refill and surprise! No popcorn. Anywhere. After 30 minutes in line, we got told to go across the venue for more--because sure, I trust that you, worker #12 of 15 standing around doing nothing, know for a fact there's popcorn on the other side. Leaving the venue? An Olympic-level test of patience. One hour minimum to exit, even if you leave early. Two-lane funnel of doom. Concert ended at 10:40, we got on the road after midnight. Bring snacks, but don't test the hotdogs being sold on the way out-- pretty sure my boyfriend had his first taste of speed bump sausage. Final tips: VIP & handicap parking = same lot. Only ~20 handicap spots. Arrive early or be prepared to walk a mile. Bag policy is aggressively enforced. Read it carefully. Then read it again. Then ignore it, and stuff everything down your pants because security will probably make up their own rules anyway. read more

Brooks & Dunn performed on my most recent visit to the Toyota Amphitheater. I have not been back here in years due to the worst mosquito attack I have ever had. However, this time, I was willing to come prepared and be doused in bug spray in order to enjoy my show. As we arrived, we parked in an orderly fashion. Waited in the long lines, we got checked in, then searched, and began the walk to our seats. Everyone around was really excited. When the show started, it was still day light out. There were your typical gatherings of tiny bug nests. As the darkness started to fall, the show got more amazing, and I don't think I got one bite (thanks to bug spray). The crowd around me was just as excited as they performed our favorite songs. The Brooks & Dunn could not have put on a better show. It's has always been a dream of mine to see them live in concert. They sounded amazing and strong, and they were better than I could have even imagined. As we left the parking lot, I ended up stuck in traffic longer than we really should've been. It was completely unorganized. Trucks were stopped waiting to pull into the main line out while more than 20 vehicles passed, not allowing him in. They left it up to people driving their cars to decide who was allowed to cut in... and there were a lot of honking cars and people screaming people. Honestly, with the way we got out... it should've been easy, but we were cut off so many times, Overall, I had a much better experience this time at the Toyota Amphitheater... minus the parking. read more

First timer to this venue, watched NKOTB/Paula Abdul/DJ Jazzy Jeff for their Magic Summer tour. Reading the previous reviews regarding the parking lot situation, guess we got a lucky since we arrived early. We paid for premium parking, but nobody even checked our parking pass and waved us right through. Got in line to get in and that was a breeze (the only breeze up there since it was 104+ degrees!). The staff all seemed very nice and helpful if we had any questions. Didn't purchase any concessions since we brought our own reusable bottles & filled them using the water filling stations. I overheard people saying that leaving after the concert could take 1+ hrs to get out so we decided to head out about 10 min before the concert ended. That gave us time to check out the merchandise tables with no lines. Not sure I'd go to another summer concert out there in the heat though... read more

I recently went to this venue for the SOLD OUT Santana and the Doobie Brothers concert on Saturday August 8 2026, and I like the venue, but I don't 'like' the venue. I got there 45 minutes before the gates opened for the show and it SUCKED!! It was 107 degrees outside that day and the venue doesn't have ANY TREES for shade!! I had a personal umbrella, and I was wearing a hat, but neither of them helped. The website says that they have hydration stations to refill reusable water bottles, so I took one with me, but couldn't find any of the filling stations. And WHY doesn't the venue allow aerosol sunscreens?! Going through the bag search I noticed that security seized 4 other concert goers aerosol sunscreens and said they weren't allowed to take them in. Fast forward to inside the venue; their WiFi SUCKS!! And HOW are these people allowed to charge the public $30 for a chicken strips combo meal? It had 3 chicken strips, and what appeared to be a large serving size of fries in a 12 inch long box that came with a drink. Trying to get out of the venue ON FOOT is not recommended since it's a road with no street lights. I left 2 songs into Santana's second set and left(private medical reason) and I had to walk to Hard Rock casino to get a solid WiFi signal just to get a ride home after I left the amphitheater. read more

I figured I may as well review this finally, as I just wrote up a venue review of the Hard Rock nextdoor. It's really a 3.5 but I am rounding to 4 for the memories. Important: Parking and traffic here royally sucks @$$. Go potty before you leave. My friend and I completely missed Barenaked Ladies open (okay we heard the last song as we laid out our blanket on the grass) for Hootie several years ago, because two hours wasn't enough time to get here on that particularly crappy night. Be prepared for this kind of nightmare if you want to come here. Consider carpool or rideshare. If you pay for premier parking that helps with the getting in, but not with the getting out. I hate it so much. It's also brutally hot outside in summer, until the sun sets. Sunsets here can be very pretty. Basically, I come here when I REALLY want to see someone play, or when invited by friends who want to carpool. Or both. There IS more good than bad, I feel like. I have always sat on the grass and had a good time, first of all. They let you bring in blankets. There are lowback chairs for rental. Someone is going to stand up and block your view, but then the person writing this review is one of those Short People At Concerts so, yeah. Choose wisely. Having something to mark your territory with is wise for when all the late people come in looking for spots. Acoustics are great, kind of a Duh. Every show I've been to here since I went to see Peter Frampton with my fam the year it opened has sounded phenomenal. Ampitheatres generally speaking are such a perfect ambiance for live music. In July 2023, I "dragged" DO (only second time I've dragged him to see them haha) to see one of my favorite bands from my angsty youth, Breaking Benjamin, touring with Disturbed (second time I've seen them together, fifth all time for BB, putting this here to refer back to when my memory declines further.). Opening for them was Jinjer, this awesome metalcore band that Michelangelo S. got me into. (You should talk to him about music and Star Wars, he is a man of many interests.) Great show. The crowd was good vibes too. We talked to this girl sitting in front of us with her mom for awhile about different metal adjacent bands we enjoy. They do have a lot to choose from as far as food, snacks, and drinkies both alcoholic and otherwise. You pass through all of these temptations on the way to your seats. I like Trejo's tacos. The selection of food vendors varies now, from what I have gathered. You may not see the same places each time. Because of this I don't want to say they have anything special for vegans other than snacky stuff. Trejo's has been every time I've come, and they do have a vegan mushroom taco that is good. The main bathrooms next to the entrance are monitored by staff when it's busy, which is always an interesting experience. Someone else watching to see when stalls are open for the next user? Alright. I'll take it. I also really like the water feature play area for those unrelenting summer days here. So, yes, I do like to come here but only for an artist worth the trip, and when giving myself plenty of extra time to get here. Ticket prices remain reasonable for most people I want to see. I feel like they are putting in effort to compete with their new neighbor, so that's promising. Parking: the worst, recommend carpool, rideshare, racket premier parking pass Vegan Corner: unsure beyond the usual snacks, vendors vary. Trejo's has a mushroom vegan taco, and they've been there each time I've come recently... Gas: station at Hard Rock nextdoor is cheaper than the ones by the freeway, by far Bathroom Report: does the job, there is an additional one on the other side of the ampitheatre read more

Entry was a nightmare. Parking didn't seem to know what was going on (we were told about the wrong entrance and ended up really far back in the line). When we arrive we had fast lane, however we were told to join the GA line cuz the other line was for artist early entry (we had venue early entry). We were then sent to about 4 different lines before we were finally in the correct one. Once we got through security, the guard for some reason took away my feminine products (they did not have any in the restrooms for my convenience so that was extremely frustrating.) We got to the pit and none of the scanners were working, and then they proceeded to say that it would only work with the barcode, even though we all had our tickets in our Apple wallet, which was the tap, so we needed to all get into Ticketmaster to try to pull up the barcodes which that ended up, delaying the process even more because the service wasn't great. we had gone to get some drinks, and for some reason the venue was completely sold out of straws right off the bat mind you I got drinks at the very beginning after getting into the gates so I had to drink my slushy without a straw, which was not very easy. I do wanna give security props because they were very diligent on making sure us upfront in the pit had water, however, a mosh pit had formed at one point during the show and a kid almost got trampled and we were asking everyone to just take like one step back so he could actually get back onto his feet and they wouldn't and we were asking security to help and they were just shrugging at us. read more

I had such a great time at the Big Time Rush here at the Toyota Amphitheatre! It was an overall pleasant experience, from the parking to the actual show. Parking was free, convenient, and organized. There were even some portable restrooms in the parking lot to use before even entering the venue (very clean as well). The BTR concert was mobbed and the line to get in was long to get in but went by fast, I'd say only about a 15 minute wait to get in. FYI there are bag size limits (check online for the exact dimensions) and we saw a number of people turned away with backpacks. They also check the size of your signs. Plenty of bathrooms and drink/food stations to hit up before the show (expect concert arena prices). Overall show was a great time! A little drive from Sac but we enjoyed it so much that we bought tickets for another upcoming show! read more

This venue sucks! The management needs to be fired! All of them. There is zero chance of retraining this extreme level of incompetence. I am shocked that the Wheatland 1st Responders even tolerate this crap. Just there for the Hilary Duff show. Gates opened @5:30pm. Show @7. We got in the event traffic and entered the property @7:15. At 8:15pm we were still stuck on a dirt road in 3 lanes of traffic, going nowhere. The lanes were fenced between a packed parking lot, a barbed wire fence separating us from a field of dry weeds. We were trapped. One spark and this could have easily turned into a massive human tragedy. My friend said this is why she never comes here. It's always so bad. 8:30pm we get to the ticketed entry point only to ask for directions to leave. No way were we going to get caught in the exiting traffic. City of Wheatland and Yuba County... This is a disaster waiting to happen. Wake Up!!! read more

Visited the Toyota Amphitheater over the summer and didn't have the terrible experience like a few have mentioned on here. Parked in the General Parking. Location was quite close and parked with ease as everything seemed organized. The lot is not paved but a big dirt lot. The security line to get inside was just as organized and ran smoothly. My only con was the weather but of course, that is beyond their control of course. My daughter and I didn't buy food as we figured it would be overpriced but we did purchase drinks. Those over 21 are given wristbands after having your ID checked. Prices are the typical high price at a venue for drinks whether it be soda or alcohol. Bring an empty water bottle! Itll save you money and they have water dispensers so you can fill it up! The bathrooms are large and run great! There was employees inside making sure they informed guests when a stall was cleared making the line move quickly. Although warm inside, they had large fans to help cool things off. Stalls were clean as there was someone constantly cleaning after folks. After the event, things were run efficiently when it came to getting everyone out of the lot. Maybe I was lucky that evening? I didn't deal with anything negative and had a pleasant experience! Employees were nice, everything ran great and the venue was clean. I would not mind coming back here. Just not in the summer. The heat is killer! read more

This venue has decent acoustics, a big stage that can handle extravagant light, flame, and fog set ups and plenty of vendors. The biggest reason for the low rating is how ridiculously slow and aggravating the entrance and exit is. It starts with the drive. Wheatland is quite a ways outside of Sac. The entrance is accessed by farm roads that will host a long backup of vehicles. Entering the venue is just as problematic. There's a huge maze to get through a security check point that funnels you into the first (of many) ticket checkpoints. Now that you've made it into the concession area, you'll need to have your ticket ready to show 4 or 5 more times to get to your seat. In this particular visit, it was hot (100+) and the show started 30 minutes earlier than advertised so I was a little aggravated already. I'm sure that if I had planned for the slow entry, i could have enjoyed the first band instead of hearing them while I waited outside the venue. My tips: go an hour earlier than whatever time you planned on arriving. Make sure your electronic tickets are in your wallet because you'll need to show them over and over and over. Use the restroom on your way out because you'll be watching taillights for a long time. read more
