A new waterfront concert venue is set to open in Southern California this summer.<\/p>\n
The Long Beach Amphitheater<\/a>, an 11,000-capacity open-air venue near the Queen Mary, will officially debut June 6 with a grand opening concert headlined by Snoop Dogg<\/a>, a Long Beach native<\/a> whose career has long been tied to the city\u2019s music history.<\/p>\n The amphitheater is being positioned as the city\u2019s first large-scale outdoor music venue and a new destination for live entertainment along the waterfront. Designed to reflect Long Beach\u2019s cultural identity, the space will host concerts, community events and festivals throughout the year.<\/p>\n The opening show is being billed as both a concert and a cultural milestone, bringing one of the city\u2019s most recognizable artists back home to inaugurate the stage.<\/p>\n Following its debut, the venue will launch a full inaugural season spanning multiple genres. Announced shows include performances by Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz<\/a>, Luke Bryan, Nas and The Roots<\/a>, Los \u00c1ngeles Azules, M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce and more, reflecting a lineup that stretches across hip-hop, rock, country and Latin music.<\/p>\n The amphitheater will also feature premium seating, including VIP lounges, dedicated entrances and enhanced viewing areas designed to elevate the concert experience in an open-air setting along the waterfront.<\/p>\n
