Hayden Homes Amphitheater

The Hayden Homes Amphitheater is an independent, outdoor riverfront venue in Bend's historic Old Mill District, built in 2001 and known until recently as the Les Schwab Amphitheater. It sits on the banks of the Deschutes River with the Cascade Mountains as a backdrop, and holds up to 8,000 people on a shallow, sloping lawn with no permanent seats — low-profile chair rentals, reserved sections on select shows, Central Oregon food carts, and themed bars pouring local craft beer, wine and cocktails. Named one of "America's coolest venues" by Travel + Leisure, the amphitheater runs a summer season that starts around Memorial Day weekend and continues into the first week of October, hosting 50-plus shows a year. Recent and past bills include Nikki Glaser, Trevor Noah, Matt Rife, John Mulaney, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Riley Green, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, Brandi Carlile, ODESZA and Bob Dylan. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster or in person at the Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District.
