| Venue Info | |
Alpine Valley Music Theatre is a 30,000-capacity amphitheater located on County Highway D in East Troy, Wisconsin. The seasonal venue was built in 1977 and it features a characteristic wooden roof, covering the 7,500-seat pavilion and a sprawling lawn. It was the largest amphitheater in the United States until 1993, when the Glen Helen Pavilion (now known as the Glen Helen Amphitheater) was built in California.[citation needed]
The theatre is located roughly equally distant from Madison, Milwaukee, Rockford, and Chicago, and therefore draws a wide regional audience.
The amphitheater was purchased by Nederlander Concerts in 1993,[1] and later acquired by SFX (now Live Nation) in 1999.[2] In 2019 the venue was sold to Consolidated-Tomoka Land Company for $7.5M with Live Nation retaining its lease.[3]
