Doors open at 6 p.m., and entry for the outdoor show is first-come, first-served. The production pairs a high-energy rock band with orchestral arrangements on the venue's newly renovated stage.
City Unveils Renovated Amp
In a March 26 news release, the City of North Las Vegas announced that the revamped Amp will make its return with the free Totally ’80s Symphonic! concert, confirming doors at 6 p.m. and general admission on a first-come, first-served basis. The city describes the show as open to all ages and part of its spring events lineup. As noted by the City of North Las Vegas, attendees are encouraged to arrive early for the best chance at snagging prime lawn space.
About The Production
Totally ’80s Symphonic! is produced and fronted by Brody Dolyniuk and weaves classic ’80s pop and new wave hits into symphonic-rock arrangements that lean on both electric band and orchestral forces. The show's materials and venue listings describe a six-piece band backed by a roughly 22-piece orchestra and a widescreen visual component. Symphonic Rockshow outlines the format, while Tuacahn highlights the group's March 19 regional stop.
What Changed At The Amp
The Amp received a notable facelift ahead of the reopening. The stage canopy replaced an arced overhang, and the structure was reinforced to support heavy touring rigs and up to 170,000 pounds of equipment, according to reporting by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. That reporting also notes the free concert ties into North Las Vegas’s 80th anniversary plans. The city's facility directory lists the Craig Ranch amphitheater as capable of seating roughly 8,000-plus patrons in total, according to the venue listing from the City of North Las Vegas.
What To Know Before You Go
The concert is general admission and open to all ages, so expect lawn seating, a big sound setup and a crowd ready to sing along to plenty of ’80s favorites. Plan to arrive early if you want a close spot. Bring water, sun protection and comfortable shoes, and be prepared to walk from public parking areas. Before you head out, check the city's events calendar for any last-minute updates.
