Great Park Live - Irvine, California

Had a great time at the Ludacris concert. The place is nice. I have no true complaints. The VIP line was a bit slow considering it’s supposed to be quick. We had to wait like 15 min. Leaving was also a bit of a mess, but that can be expected at shows. Could probably be a bit better organized from the lots to the streets.

We attended the Pacific Symphony's performance of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi - Basically the symphony performing the entire musical soundtrack DURING the screening of the film. They did an outstanding job performing.
Now for a review on the venue: We sat in section 103 and although it was off to the right of the stage, we had a great view. Parking was decent, in lot 2, so not a huge walk. There were various food trucks including a Chick-fil-a stand. The venue had their own built in food/drink areas - so basically really overpriced drinks, although it did include alcohol. $16 for a Coors Light in a large can. Bathrooms were the nicest port-a-potty I've ever been in. Super clean, didn't smell and they flushed. Think RV style bathrooms. I was told this is a temporary venue until they build a permanent venue. Getting out was okay, although Irvine PD just sat in cruisers talking. Would have been better if they were directing traffic on the 4 stop intersections.

Pacific Symphony - awesome, violin soloist - superb, table seating arrangement - very nice! However.. 1) We brought a meal and weren't allowed to bring it in (boo). 2) Wish there were real bathrooms but the line for the portapotties was fast and the hand washing stations had nice warm water.
But the biggest bummer was 3) the mosquitos.🦟 Can something be done to treat for them? Either that or warn people to bring repellant be pase they were super persistent and annoying.

We went and saw Ludacris here, and for an outdoor venue it’s cool. Food places and shorter than average lines for that stuff. We got standing VIP and it was cool. Close to the stage, not packed. Tip: Don’t buy the VIP seats, it’s way too far from the stage and just on the ground so no “stadium” feel to help with the view. My biggest gripe and why it’s only a 2 star review is leaving… almost an hour to get out of the parking lot. No help, no order. Just stuck. That’s just crazy. So be aware. I mean would I come again for a cool show, sure but I wanted to hit their rating a little for putting us through this tonight.

Opening night with DSB was great. The only negative was that the stage needed a backdrop to block the setting sun. Couldn't see the band due to the sun in your eyes for the 1st set. Everything else was very well organized, very clean, good food and drink options. Lots of parking.

Saw Ludacris tonight which was great. But I waited in line for 1 hour to get a drink! Stood in line for the entire opening act. This never happened with five points! Bring back live nation!

I recently attended a concert at Great Park Live, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning, with a modern design that perfectly blends with its scenic surroundings, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere.

One of the standout features of Great Park Live is its food. The food was excellent, with great drink options to complement the diverse menu.

The acoustics in the venue are top-notch, making the concert experience truly immersive. The sound quality was crystal clear, allowing me to fully enjoy every note of the performance. The layout of the seating and standing areas ensures that everyone has a great view of the stage, no matter where they are situated.

Staff at Great Park Live were friendly and efficient, helping to create a welcoming environment. The ease of access, with ample parking and convenient public transport options, made getting to and from the venue hassle-free.

Overall, Great Park Live is a fantastic concert venue that excels in every aspect. From the high-quality food to the excellent acoustics and friendly staff, it provides an all-around outstanding experience. I highly recommend catching a show here if you get the chance!
