Ameris Bank Amphitheatre

Lainey Wilson is a great performer with an amazing voice. She is seems humble and really in touch with her audience who obviously love her. Ameris Bank Ampitheatre was the perfect venue for her concert and it was so easy to park and enter and buy food and drinks. Even departure after the concert was a breeze. It didn't seem nearly as crowded as it was. This was the best experience I have had thus far with concert venues and I can't wait to return for my next concert!

They were awesome as ever, just do not like seeing them as the middle act since they have to cram too much into a shorter period of time. They sound and performed great, just not long enough and missed a lot of my favorite songs. Hootie played twice as long and was also awesome! Wdwin McCay was awesome too and enjoyed him singing with CS and H&B.

Firstly, it has been a dream of mine to see KORN in concert ever since they debuted. At 43 years old, I finally got to experience them for the first time with my husband and our two teen kids! KORN was phenomenal live! I also am an avid listener of Gojira and Spiritbox. Both bands performed so amazing! I was blown away by the production quality! The venue was alright. Fairly quick to get in parking and they were speedy at getting people into entry. There were a few things I would like to see improve. The cost of a hotdogs was $10. I mean, really??? I just paid $300 on tickets to be charged that much for food? No thanks. We had lawn tickets. Unfortunately, we brought the wrong size chairs, so we sat in the grass. I have some health issues that prevented me from standing on the slope of the lawn for extended times. The people in the box area infront of us blocked a majority of my view while I sat. I would like to see more designated areas for people with disabilities. All in all, it was a pretty venue. The food cost and the lack of space for people who need flat ground, but cannot afford seats closer to the stage, could use improvement.

The whole experience was great! The venue was beautiful and all the employees were very friendly and helpful. They looked like they were having a good time, too! Every thing was clean and well taken care of. Our seats were in the orchestra section and we had an amazing view of the stage. I think this was the best performance I’ve seen of ZZ Top! They were excellent! This is the first concert I’ve been to where I knew all the words of every song they played. They are excellent musicians and performers! They always involve the fans while they are playing, and no one can perform or play like ZZ Top! They are so unique! I’m so glad I got to see and hear them play! I hope I get to see them in concert again!

This was my first Avril Lavigne show, and she did not dissapoint. First of all, unlike what I read about the Charlotte show, the weather in the Atlanta area could not have been better. We left mid-morning from Tuscaloosa, Alabama and got to our hotel about 2:30 that afternoon. The temps had moderated into the 80's, the humidity was down and we had a nice breeze. For early September in the Deep South, you can't script better weather. The Sk8er Boi VIP Hospitality was nice. They had some really good food, complimentary wine and one mixed drink. The exhibits were small, but interesting. It was up on the hill and somewhat secluded. Could have been a little more, but it was a nice shady place to chill. Getting in 30 minutes before the gates opened to shop at the merch stand was a big plus. No lines and leisurely shopping. Warm up acts were really good. I had never heard anything from Girlfriends, but they were a solid, entertaining group. Simple Plan is just that. Their plan is to be high energy and entertaining. From Star Wars to Beach Balls to Scooby Doo.... it's hard to pack that into one set, but they pulled off. Again, I had never seen Avril before, but I have listened to her music over the last 22 years. I was amazed. Her band is a bunch of pros. Professional musicians being professional. There was a nice pacing to the program. The lighting and sound were spot on. Getting to hear a bit of "When Your Gone", my favorite song, was refreshing. The encore of two ballads was unique and very effective. I don't know if she enjoyed playing in the Atlanta area. If she didn't, she sure fooled me, because it looked like she was having a large time. I think the fans, at least the ones in my general area, loved it. I am very tight on my concert dollar. I have a short, short list of performers that I will be willing to pay to see again. Avril is now on that list.

Black Veil Brides surprised me w Rebel Yell I saw it for the first time with them at the Warped Tour in like 2014 and then again in 2015 w Billy Idol and now again😭❤️‍🔥 I was pleasantly surprised with Dance Gavin Dance will definitely be listening to them from now on. And finally Falling In Reverse was amazing especially seeing them for the first time ever. Will definitely be going to see all three again in the future. *missed Tech N9ne*

Celisse opened and she is a wonderful talent IMO! She hit the jackpot to open for such legends and is deserving! Enjoyed her and her band very much. Robert and Allison were wonderful and didn’t disappoint. What can I say about Bob? He didn’t disappoint because I didn’t expect much. I heard him in the 70s and recognized his songs then. But he hadn’t written over 800 then so it was easy enough to glean the song even if he wasn’t sticking to the melody. I couldn’t do that last night (Twist of Fate was recognized by that lyric) but I was disappointed that he didn’t play guitar. I hope he is doing as well as is expected at his age. I treated my adult daughter because I wanted to go and she had no interest in hearing these legends on her own so she went with me to kick off my 70th BD week. Anyway, he is a musical genius and just being in the same space again was unreal to me (I’m a Beatles/George, TPATH and Wilburys big time fan). Like a said, I wasn’t disappointed but just glad to be there. I WAS disappointed that Willie wasn’t well because he is the only one I hadn’t heard before live. Waited too long surely and am sorry for that but life happens. I just hope he rests well and is able to perform again. His son Luke sounds just like Willie at his age. Wonderful band and enjoyed them very much. The next best thing to Willie being there. Gave it a 4 star because of Willie but a wonderful weather and music night and memory with my daughter. I’ve enjoyed the venue before and will again, God willing. 😊🌻

This was the best night of my life. My dad took me for an early birthday present because my birthday is August 1st. I got a T-shirt and everything. I've been a fan since like 2018. So it was awesome to see them live. I know all the songs and my dad said he's never seen me happier. It was so much fun the best night of my life. 10/10. If they tour Georgia again this year which I really hope they do me and my dad are definitely going. I had so much fun at this concert. Love you guys🫶🏼🫶🏼

Easy access using Lyft or Uber. They drop you off right near gate. I stayed outside until Sabaton finished their set as I have zero interest in that strange music. Priest was awesome. This was my 21st time seeing them. Of course, they aren’t anything close to as active as in the good old days but considering Rob Halford is 72- still very good!

Artist was great, would see again the next time in town. The venue's soundsystem had some reverb in the general lawn seating that was bordering on too loud, but otherwise was a wonderful concert. While there were online options to purchase merchandise and food for pickup, it was limited and there was not a map of where things were located. In addition, no where on the website did it say when the gates opened. It provided when parking opened, but not the gates.

Front Row Dead Center was a thrill of a lifetime to see 2 such awesome bands. Damon Johnson is a perfect fit for Gary Rossington & Elwood Francis does an admirable job filling in for Dusty Hill of ZZ top . There's a reason that these 2 bands have survived the test of time for 50 years. They have great songs, great musicians & know how to still Rock into their 70s! Go see them one last time!

The music and performance was great, but the sound out on the lawn was just terrible. I am not sure if Kenny had a control he was stepping on and off or what - but every time he spoke and each following song were nothing but reverb and echo. Couldn’t understand a word he said and the songs were almost unidentifiable. Just a very disappointing night for those of us on the lawn! Money wasted!

This was one of the best shows!! My Boyfriend got me and all 3 of our kids tickets ( it was their first concert!) and my middle son is one of CoJos biggest fan!! But when he went to sing Diamond in My Pocket- I turned around picking on my boyfriend asking if he had a diamond in his pocket! We laughed then he got in from of me and got down on one knee!! Was the absolute best night EVER!!! He says thanks CoJo for the help!!

This was my son's 1st concert. We came to the Georgia show because we couldn't make it to the one in Michigan by us! Drove straight down, drove straight back. But it was a fun adventure with awesome music and light show! I was really happy to be a part of this specific concert! I would definitely see them again if/when they come back!!

I have been a long time fan of Gorillaz since my childhood. My husband surprised me with lawn tickets to this show to celebrate our first wedding anniversary a little early and honestly? This was the best gift ever!!!!!!! It was incredible to jam out to Désolé, Feel Good Inc., Melancholy Hill, and both versions of Clint LIVE! And the guest artists who were there as well as the opener (Earthgang)? Just impeccable! I can’t wait for the next tour already. Next time, we’ll go hard in the pit instead of just going hard on the lawn! LOVE YOU ALWAYS, GORILLAZ!!!

I saw these guys first when they opened for Kings of Leon over 10 years ago and they were just breaking out and they played Little Black Submarines!! Fast Forward to 2019 when I saw them as the headliner at State Farm Arena and I had a BLAST!!! Then I saw them at their most recent show and I WAS BLOWN AWAY!! THESE GUYS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER WITH AGE!! OMG.....SO MUCH FUN!! WOULD DEFINITELY PUT THIS GROUP ON MY MUST SEE LIST FOR ANY UPCOMING SHOWS!!

Doobie Brothers: 7/17/22 “I took it to the streets rocking down the highway —destination Atlanta, less than 15 hours after returning home from a Garth Brooks show in Charlotte. Tonite, the Doobies, my fourth time seeing my number 4 all-time fave band. It was also my 2nd time seeing them with Michael McDonald, the first going back to July of ’81, 41 years ago almost to the exact day! I’ve also seen Michael solo twice in between. Billed as ‘The 50th Anniversary Tour’ the event was on its 4th reschedule, tickets originally having been sold back in December of 2019. It was a beautiful evening for a show, clouds and sun 87° at showtime with a light breeze carrying occasional whiffs of a sweet organic variety drifting by from the lawn seats. Upon being seated dead center under the amphitheater pavilion, the view of the stage disclosed a rather simple set up consisting of 4 large light boxes illuminated as bricked up windows in rainbow color with 5 rows of smaller boxes in between and on either side. The large boxes doubled as video screens displaying classic album artwork during the performance. There was a black and gold classic logo with the wording ‘50th Anniversary Tour’ on the drum kit. A pedal steel for ’South City Midnight Lady’ and Michael’s keys were both positioned stage left. I honestly expected something a bit more elaborate however the Doobies are traditional old school rock ’n roll. The show opened with the trifecta of guitarists forefront (Simmons & Johnston both 73, and McFee 71), along with McDonald 70— the 4 Doobies playing the intro to ’Nobody’. Four touring musicians following suit took their places on stage. Thus began a 2 hour 10 minute/24 song set including songs stretching their entire recording career 1971-2021. Simmon’s commenting, ‘This is our 50th-ish anniversary, we skipped it and came back, now it’s 52 years, we’re just glad to be here Atlanta.’ Johnston adding, ‘It took us a while to get here but we’re back and we’re here to talk about it.’ What made this show special to me was a setlist that included songs the band would not typically perform without Michael: ‘Here To Love You’, ‘You Belong To Me, ‘It Keeps You Runnin’, ‘Real Love’, and ‘Minute By Minute’. However the songs that showcased their exquisite harmonies mid-concert were both from the album ‘Captain And Me’, ‘South City Midnight Lady’ and “Clear As The Driven Snow’ performed in tandem. Did I mention musicianship? In addition to guitar and pedal steel, McFee also played dobro, harmonica, and fiddle. Marc Russo the touring saxophonist (Tower Of Power plus an impressive studio resume) was granted free-range of the stage strolling from side to side and energizing the crowd. McDonald’s uniquely-soulful vocals were still strong, often singing slightly off tempo but in clear control, establishing his own pace and direction. In retrospect, this most likely due to years of headlining solo performances. There was a definitive R&B feel about them to experience Live tonight that one could not get from needle to vinyl alone. There was a six minute rendering of ‘Takin’ It To The Streets’ that included a jazzy keyboard and sax intro beginning with ‘Amazing Grace’ and evolving into somewhat of a New Orleans funeral style. Three songs from their current release were mixed into the set which a number of folks took as their cue to hit a restroom or grab another beverage. I felt they were done very well and worth the consideration. Johnston reasoning with the fans, ‘If we don’t play ‘em you’re not going to know about them right?’ It took an hour and a half to get the crowd off their feet and ‘Jesus Is Just Alright’ was the one that did it. Nobody sat back down thereafter! The show closed with another trifecta, this time of songs for the encore, ‘Black Water’, ’Streets’, and ‘Listen To The Music’. One slight variation being ‘Georgia moon won’t you keep on shinin’, Atlanta moon won’t you keep on shinin’ on me!’ The now fully invigorated crowd (and I think even the band) were left wondering if there was just one more song they could work into the evening prior to the house lights coming up. A personal note, last time I saw the band in 2019 they were playing a much smaller venue of 2,000, today it was 12,000. Their game has majorly stepped up, I feel the staging visuals could use an upgrade worthy of a big production. Finally, I didn’t sense a lot of chemistry between the other members and Michael, it could just well be that he was isolated from the frontmen positioned behind the keys. Who knows what will happen with the band, will Michael stay? Amazingly he had only been a member a mere 7 years of the band’s history (’77-’82). One thing’s for sure, in the now, the Doobies are still very much ‘fired-up’ and it’s highly unlikely they’ll be hanging their instruments up any time in the near future!” by DAve (Concert #678)

Fantastic show! Kept us waiting a bit, but when they came on stage they took over! Banging drums, dancing and rocking out, the first few songs were amazing! Switching instruments seamlessly, Haim did a great set of new tunes, old favorites, ballads and rockers. Each sister took over the mike at different times, exchanging conversation with the band and the audience alike, making us feel like part of the show!

best night of my life. i have tried numerous times to see one direction and never got tickets. when i saw my favorite person in the world for the first time, it was amazing. nialls album is the bomb and my dream was to hear it live. he brought the audience along with the story of the album and it was really special. and he sang so long which is one of my favorites ,even though its never been released. and at the end of the concert i waved at him and he waved back which made the night even more special :).

Maren Morris was a great performer! At first i had no clue who she was (sorry) but turns out i knew a few of her songs! Boy when Niall got out, I was starstruck. He is an absolutely amazing performer and he was super sweet. Fools Gold and Slow Hands and This Town were the best to listen to. I would say it was more of a listening concert then a visual concert, but he sure looked great!
