The most popular amphitheater in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Isleta Amphitheater hosts festivals, community events, and live concerts from the big names in the music industry. The venue opened in 2000, and has grown in size from its original 12,000 capacity to 15,000. Isleta has seen the likes of Gwen Stefani, Black Sabbath and Def Leppard rock its stage, much to the delight of thousands of music lovers who trek to the venue.

Isleta Amphitheater is about 15 minutes away from the heart of Albuquerque, and the quickest way to get there is to drive or take a cab. Guests may bring in lawn chairs with seats lower than nine inches off the ground, binoculars, non-professional cameras, one sealed bottle of water, seat cushions, and blankets. Small umbrellas, ponchos and rain jackets are also allowed because the show must go on rain or shine, unless the artist cancels the show because of extreme weather conditions. Outside food and beverages are not allowed, nor are audio and video recording equipment.

Before or after the concert, visitors can head back downtown, which is packed with wine bars, brew pubs, and dance clubs. Enjoy a concert at the Isleta Amphitheater and the colorful attractions of Albuquerque. Event Tickets Center offers a wide selection of Isleta Amphitheater tickets to choose from.
