Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Raleigh, now known as Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek, is synonymous with major musical acts. A beautiful outdoor setting that is well suited for an evening of musical entertainment, the biggest names in the industry have graced the stage since it first opened in the early 1990s. It’s a who’s who list that includes a wide range of styles including rock, R&B, metal, hip hop, rap, and country. If your favorites aren’t scheduled, just wait! Big names such as Aerosmith, B.B. King, Coldplay, Drake, KISS, Motley Crue, Nelly, Prince, Rod Stewart, Sade, Shery Crow, Steve Miller Band, Tina Turner, and Tony Bennett are just a few from past years. Recently, Foreigner, Styx & John Waite, Boyz II Men, Megadeth, Breaking Benjamin & Staind, and Post Malone have performed. If you’re not in a ticketed seat, you can take a beach towel or small blanket for the lawn, or rent a lawn chair at the venue.


So much fun and always great views from any angle in lawn or seats.”
