Hayden Homes Amphitheater delivers your 2025 summer set list!
Attending a show at Hayden Homes Amphitheater is more than entertainment; it's an immersive experience that celebrates the synergy of exceptional performances, local flavors and the stunning backdrop of the Central Oregon skyline. It’s the kind of place where you kick off your shoes, relax into the rhythm and forget your worries for a while.
To us, our intimate 8,000-person venue that hugs the banks of the Deschutes River in the heart of Bend’s historic Old Mill District is the Award Winner for Best Outdoor Amphitheater in the Pacific Northwest. Don’t just take our word for it, voices on the internet have made themselves heard, too!
“What a great venue!” Billy D. on Google wrote. “Great sound, great lighting and great seats – all on the banks of the beautiful river! What more can you ask for? A great outdoor venue – can’t wait for next year.”
Steve W. on Facebook added, “My favorite people in the world! You make every single event special with all you do. It does not go unnoticed. Much love!”
Then there is Lily C. on Yelp sharing, “I can confidently say that this is one of the absolute best venues I have been to in Oregon, not because of the amazing views and open seating, but also the friendly and helpful staff you encounter at every step of the event process.”
The 2025 lineup reads like a Spotify playlist gone wild. Fans can look forward to legendary acts like Sting, Lainey Wilson, Neil Young, and Earth, Wind & Fire. As well as genre-bending and contemporary favorites Glass Animals, Jon Pardi, Alabama Shakes, and LCD Soundsystem. Think big names, indie darlings and rising stars you’ll brag about seeing “before they blew up.” Plus, comedy icons Jerry Seinfeld, Trevor Noah, and Matt Rife deliver a dose of much needed laughter. The acoustics? Clean and crisp. The backdrop? Instagram gold. And the energy? Electric.
Hayden Homes Amphitheater isn’t just about sharing music, it’s about cultivating community. In fact, a space for folks to gather has been a part of the Old Mill District’s master plan since founder Bill Smith drew it up on day one, along with a note about our responsibility to protect the surrounding natural environment. Enter The Green Team, whose eco-conscious ethos pulse on-site every show helping to keep our concert footprint small. Recycling and composting stations, reusable cup programs, and local partnerships make sustainability feel like second nature - a seamless blend of music and mindfulness.
Hungry? Stepover to food vendor row where culinary offerings round out the experience. Here, food trucks serve up artisan gyros, fresh poke bowls, free-range burgers, Bonta Gelato, and local dumplings all curated by regional purveyors who know their way around a flavor profile. Let’s just say, this is a town that takes its live music, and its food trucks, seriously.
Whether you're a first-timer or a returning fan, one thing is certain—there is no venue in the Pacific Northwest quite like ours. At Hayden Homes Amphitheater we are setting the stage for more than concerts—we’re hosting excursions for audiophiles and compiling the soundtrack to your summer. And this summer is especially important as it marks the fifth anniversary of our partnership with Name-In-Title sponsor, Hayden Homes! Without whom, none of the magic would be possible. More on that in the coming pages. So, cruise on down and let the music carry you—under the stars, by the river, in the heart of Bend.
