Fun Facts

The amphitheater was constructed in 1964 as part of Oakland University's campus, designed to host a variety of cultural and musical events.

The amphitheater was designed by renowned architect Alden B. Dow, known for his modernist style and connection to Frank Lloyd Wright.

Over the years, it has seen performances by legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

Meadow Brook Amphitheatre is located on the estate that was once owned by Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Dodge.

It is situated within the Meadow Brook Estate, which includes the historic Meadow Brook Hall, a National Historic Landmark.

The venue can accommodate approximately 7,700 guests, making it an intimate setting for concerts and events.

The amphitheater primarily hosts events during the warmer months, from May through September, taking advantage of Michigan's pleasant summer weather.
