Since 2006, the venue naming rights were acquired by First Midwest Bancorp in 2006 – 2015. It has since been renamed to Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre as of July of 2015. In 1990, the venue hosted its very first artist, Cher, during her Heart of Stone tour. The venue has showcased some of the biggest big bands in the industry, such as Phish, Disturbed and Rush. This year you can expect some of the most popular artists in the world: Van Halen, 5 Seconds of Summer, Tim McGraw, Nicki Minaj, Def Leppard, Rascal Flatts & more! Seating The venue has reserved seating as well as a general admission lawn area. Most of the reserved seating is under the pavilion roof from sections 101-105 & 201-208. There are some seats towards the back of the 200 level that are not covered. Reserved seating is assigned by section, row & seat number. If you are seated in the pavilion, ushers will check your ticket EVERY TIME you enter the pavilion, so keep your ticket accessible. Patrons sitting in the 100 sections will use the lower crosswalk to access their seats & to leave the pavilion. The upper crosswalk is used for patrons seated in the 200 sections as well as the lawn area. All seat numbers run from right to left when facing the stage. The lowest seat number will be on the right, while the highest seat number will be to the left. Floor boxes can be found behind the 100 sections & are numbered from 101-160. These seat numbers also run from right to left. This area is elevated enough to have a clear sight line to the stage & over the reserved seats in front of the boxes. There are 2 levels of sky suites which are above the lower crosswalk. The 200 & 300 levels are accessible by stairs or elevators on either side of the pavilion which require a sky box ticket to access.

Tickets in the lawn area are always general admission and can be accessed from the upper crosswalk. The lawn area is on an incline to improve stage visibility but for most shows there are jumbo screens on either side of the stage so everyone can view the performance. Pit Area The general admission pit area is situated in front of section 103. For most shows, seats in rows A through S are removed to make room for the pit. Seats located behind the pit are typically elevated enough so patrons can see over the standing room general admission area
