First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre is an outdoor music venue, in Chicago's southwest suburb of Tinley Park, Illinois, that opened in 1990. It is one of the largest music venues in the Chicago area, with capacities of up to 28,000 spectators. The facility was formerly named Tweeter Center Chicago, World Music Theater and New World Music Theater. It is commonly known as a great outdoor music venue pulling fans from the city of Chicago as well as surrounding suburbs, and even neighboring states. Due to its location in the Chicago metro area, the theatre is an ample site for visitors from all of Chicagoland and is one of only a few large outdoor amphitheatres in the Chicago area.
