The Orion Amphitheater forges a new chapter in Huntsville’s unparalleled, and blooming, musical history. Our 8,000-seat venue boasts unique architecture, best-in-class food and beverage offerings, and acoustics, and serves as an inclusive space for community events.
All concerts and events at the Orion are rain or shine. In the event of an emergency, please monitor our social media for updates. Any cancellations will be followed by an official alert. Reminder: umbrellas are not permitted inside the venue. You are welcome to bring a poncho.
Whether we’re playing your favorites or showcasing local vendors before the concert, join us in Apollo South for pre-show festivities. Stick around after the event to get a late-night bite from Rocket City food trucks and a refreshing drink at our dive barn on campus, Jeff & Blues, where there’s always more fun to be had!
From craft beer to wine, and cocktails, throughout the Amphitheater you’ll find 15+ niche bars with carefully curated offerings. These independent vendors specialize in a variety of your favorite spirits, from a global whiskey selection at Murphy’s Law, to eco-friendly offerings at Carbon, to tropical drinks at Teal Monkey. Pouring at all of our bars is the refreshing new Orion Helles Lager, brewed in collaboration with local brewery Yellowhammer Brewing, in addition to unique craft cocktails designed for each show.
Small bags, purses, totes, armless seat cushions, diaper bags, medically necessary bags and 32oz refillable water bottles are allowed at The Orion. No single-use plastic water bottles are allowed in the venue. For more info on our bag policy and prohibited items (incl. larger bags, selfie sticks, or recording equipment) please check below before the show.
Parking is included in the cost of your ticket, and lots open two hours before door time. Your phone is your ticket, so be sure to have the AXS app downloaded and allow time for security checks. We are a cashless venue and do not have any ATMs on site. For peace of mind, check out our FAQs page ahead of time.
Whatever your appetite, we’ve got you covered. Rotating food trucks offer up local cuisine throughout Apollo South, or choose from a curated menu of small plates at Odette, Chef Josh Quick’s brick-and-mortar kitchen located in the lower concourse by Gate A. You can now pre-order Odette Picnic Boxes to be picked up after doors open – click here to learn more, and place an order before your next concert. All outside food & drink is prohibited.
We’re working to eliminate single-use plastic by serving drinks in reusable cups. By returning these cups to blue marked bins, you’ll help us prevent half a million single-use plastic cups from entering landfills each year.
We’re proud to have met or exceeded the requirements of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This means safety and comfort at every single show at The Orion, with accessible parking, restrooms, box offices, concessions and merch facilities.
