Notable details
The amphitheatre is located approximately 4 miles south of downtown Atlanta, at the Lakewood Fairgrounds. Phish, among others, have called the amphitheatre one of their favorite venues to play at, due to the quality of the acoustics rarely found at lower-level roofed amphitheatres. Linkin Park used their performance of "One Step Closer" from Projekt Revolution 2004 on their LPU 4 CD and also used their performance of "The Little Things Give You Away" from Projekt Revolution 2007 on their LPU 7 CD. In 2008, the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park opened in Alpharetta, Georgia, an affluent suburb on the north side of Atlanta. This gave Metro Atlanta another premier outdoor venue along with Lakewood, Chastain Park Amphitheater in Buckhead/Sandy Springs and the Frederick Brown Jr Amphitheater on the south side in Peachtree City.
History of name changes
Originally named Lakewood Amphitheatre after opening in 1989, the amphitheater has since changed names several times and has now reverted back to its original title. Known for a long time as the Coca-Cola Lakewood Amphitheatre, it briefly took up its original name again in 2000. Then in 2001, the venue became known as HiFi Buys Amphitheatre. It wasn’t until 2008 that the venue again changed its name back to Lakewood Amphitheatre, at which point a logo not dissimilar to the one used prior to becoming the HiFi Buys Amphitheatre was used. In May 2009, Aaron’s stepped in with a naming-rights agreement and between 2009-2015 the venue carried the title of Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, before becoming its classic name of Lakewood Amphitheatre once again in 2016. Since November 2017 it got a new sponsor and is known as Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood.[2]
