"Ascend Amphitheater is an open-air music venue that is located along the Cumberland River inside the Metro Riverfront Park. The Nashville high rises tower over the stage and emit an electric scene during the summer night shows. Come for the tunes, stay for the views, and spend the night out downtown for a perfect summer getaway. There is plenty of grass area to sprawl out and relax while also jamming out with your favorite band. It is a delightful alternative to indoor arena rockin. Check out the upcoming concert and events here!" - ST8MNT

Cool spot right downtown — easy walk if you’re staying nearby. Good size for a concert, big enough to feel like an event but small enough you’re not lost in the crowd. Sound was solid. Seated sections are chill, especially toward the back. Lawn is bigger and definitely more rowdy if that’s your scene. They even had a drone show overhead, which was a cool bonus. Only real complaint: not nearly enough bathrooms. For a facility like this, you’d think they’d plan better. Still a great setup overall if you want to catch a show without a lot of hassle.

This place is first class!! The seated area has padded/folding seats and a lawn area that is perfectly positioned to allow sunset views of downtown Nashville. We just saw three nights of Widespread Panic here (4/24-4/26 and it was AMAZING. There are two large HD video boards to aid with concert viewing for the lawn patrons. Will definitely go back!!!

I love this venue, there is not a bad seat in the house and I mean it. They have lots of drink carts, so the lines aren't long, they prices are what I expected at a concert 10.00 and up. If you have General Admission I know they have seats to rent. I always get a seat in a section and never the Pit. I prefer a seat and like i mentioned before all the seats are good here. Also the bathrooms are clean.

Great outdoor venue with the backdrop of Nashville and all its amenities nearby. Always feels a bit like a festival here. We’ve only been a few times but each show seems immersive and there isn’t a bad seat, with plenty of bars and restrooms to accommodate everyone.

We came for a three day show and the venue could not have been been better. There were tons a beverage stations, plenty of bathroom access and a good food selection. Also there is not a bad spot in the spot. We had lawn tickets and had great views of the stage no matter where we wondered.

This is one of the best venues for music. Great sound and view of the stage no matter where you are. Very convenient and walkable from downtown.

Cake is who I saw. I paid lots of money for few beers. Artist was very good. Venue was good too but a beer should not cost that much. The seats were padded but definitely not enough room to comfortably crank that sojaboi. The lawn seemed cool. I bet a lot of the attendants were CPAP users. I bet I would benefit from one but I just keep kicking that can down the road. Music helps distract me from our inevitable mortal end.
