Moody Amphitheater

Moody Amphitheater

Waterloo Park, 1401 Trinity St, Austin, TX 78701

The Moody Amphitheater is an outdoor venue in the heart of downtown Austin’s Waterloo Park. It hosts the main stage of the festival on Saturday and Sunday, with a full day of performances each day across lawn, reserved bowl, and VIP Pods seating — capacity roughly 5,000.

The Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park is located at 1401 N Trinity St, Austin, TX 78701. There is no drive-up access to the main entrance, so plan to walk in from the park’s surrounding streets.

Driving and Parking
Street and garage parking is available throughout downtown Austin within walking distance of the park. Downtown spaces fill quickly during events, so we recommend reserving a spot in advance through a parking service such as BestParking or ParkWhiz.

Rideshare
The designated rideshare drop-off and pick-up zone for Moody Amphitheater events is along the north curb of 12th Street, just past Red River Street.

Public Transit
CapMetro serves the Waterloo Park area. The closest stops are Lavaca / 15th St (Stop 593), Trinity / 12th St (Stop 864), San Jacinto / 14th St (Stop 919), and Red River / 11th St (Stop 6382).

Assembly Hall

1121 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78702

Assembly Hall hosts the festival’s Platinum-only programming. The Friday VIP Opening Night and Saturday Late Night Show take place inside this 300-seat space. A converted East Austin venue about a mile and a half from the Moody, Assembly Hall pairs polished concrete floors and 16-foot ceilings with arched windows and exposed steel beams. It’s a room built for close-range listening — sound that lands immediately, the audience leaned in, the artists within reach. The drive from the Moody is about five minutes; rideshare is the easiest option. On-site valet parking is available.

The Friday VIP Opening Night and Saturday Late Night Show take place at Assembly Hall on East 7th street — a 300-seat hall reserved exclusively for Platinum VIP pass holders, offering a striking contrast to the open-air Amphitheater shows.

Address:
1121 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78702
