The first show by the band in this city.

The first time at this venue.

The venue is located 3.4 miles to the North West of the city centre and is part of Mesker Park which also houses the Mesker Park Zoo.

It was opened in 1951.

The venue was closed in 2012 due to its state of disrepair.

Before its closure it was known as Mesker Park Amphitheatre and was also sometimes listed as both Mesker Amphitheatre and Mesker Park Amphitheater.
