Irvine is getting a new music venue! The Irvine City Council approved a 12,000 seat amphitheater near the Orange County Great Park.
This will be a replacement for the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater which shut down last year after 35 years. That piece of land will be used for an apartment community.
The new amphitheater will open in late summer and is temporary as of right now. It is being built on private property, less than 2 miles from Irvine Meadows. For now, we can plan on seeing concerts here until 2020. Meanwhile, the city will come up with a permanent plan in the same area.
