About this venue
The BayCare Sound is a modern open-air amphitheater that blends a striking contemporary design with the atmosphere of major live events. Its mix of covered seating and a spacious lawn area gives it a flexible character, making it equally suitable for large concerts, seasonal programs, and special evening performances. Designed specifically for outdoor shows, it feels like a venue where the stage view and the sense of openness are part of the experience itself.
Inside, the venue stands out for its clear sound and a more comfortable experience than many visitors expect from an outdoor setting. The covered section helps create a more focused acoustic feel, while the layout of the seating bowl and lawn gives guests a choice between a more classic seated setup and a more relaxed concert atmosphere. Practical amenities, including food and drink options and clearly organized entry points, also make the overall visit smoother from arrival to encore.
The venue is located at 255 Drew St, Clearwater, United States. For event arrivals, the easiest approach is to follow signage toward the venue complex and nearby parking areas, then allow for a short walk to the entrance, especially on sold-out nights.

About the city
Clearwater, a sunny city on the shores of Tampa Bay, naturally blends Florida’s laid-back rhythm with the buzz of major events. With famous beaches nearby and an active downtown, it’s an ideal choice for visitors who want to pair a concert or a sporting spectacle with an easy seaside break. The city is comfortable to navigate, neighborhoods connect smoothly, and the range of dining and accommodation fits everyone—from polished waterfront hotels to practical inland options.
Getting in and moving around is especially straightforward: you can use St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport (PIE) or Tampa International Airport (TPA), and for rail travel the most common hub is Tampa Union Station. Across the wider Pinellas area and Clearwater itself, the PSTA bus network is a reliable backbone, and in visitor-friendly zones the Jolley Trolley is often a convenient extra. With public transit, taxis, and ride-share services working together, reaching arenas and stadiums is quick and low-stress.
When your ticket isn’t the only reason to come, Clearwater delivers plenty of bonus moments: stroll the shoreline of Clearwater Beach, stop by Pier 60, or follow the downtown waterfront paths and parks. It’s easy to fit in a short pre-show walk or a relaxed evening wander afterward, with sunset views and the calmer pace of the bay. The result is a complete experience—an event as the highlight and a city backdrop that makes it even better.
