The Gorge Amphitheatre is a 20,000+ seat concert venue, located above the Columbia River in George, Washington. It offers lawn-terrace seating and concert-friendly weather.

Administered by Live Nation, it is considered one of the premier and most scenic concert locations not just in North America, but the world.[1] The venue has been a host to big name performers like The Who, David Bowie, Coldplay, Tom Petty, Dave Matthews Band and Phish. The venue offers sweeping and majestic views of the Columbia River, as well as extreme eastern Kittitas County and extreme western Grant County. It is also known for its spectacular views of the Columbia gorge canyon.


Pearl Jam released a box set, featuring their entire performances from 2005 and 2006, aptly titled, Live at the Gorge 05/06.

Brooks & Dunn's "Only in America" video was filmed here.

The amphitheatre has played host to many popular music festivals, including The Sasquatch! Music Festival, The Area:One and Area2 Festival, Ozzfest, Lilith Fair, Creation Festival and The Vans Warped Tour.
