Azura Amphitheater is the Kansas City metro’s largest outdoor concert venue — approximately 18,000 capacity in Bonner Springs, Kansas, with covered pavilion seating plus a large lawn section. The venue hosts major national tours throughout the summer concert season (typically April through October) and is a primary destination for KC metro concert-goers. Known as Providence Medical Center Amphitheater before the 2022 naming-rights shift, and as Sandstone Amphitheater before that.

Useful to Know
Weather matters. Azura is an outdoor venue with a covered pavilion but a large lawn. Pack for weather — rain delays are possible; covered-pavilion seats stay dry, lawn seats don’t.
Summer season. The venue operates from spring through fall; outdoor heat in July-August afternoon shows is significant. Evening shows are more comfortable.
Naming history. The previous names (Providence Medical Center Amphitheater, Sandstone Amphitheater) still appear in older tour listings and search engine results. It’s all the same venue.
