Located alongside the Missouri River it has attained a place on the Top 100 Amphitheaters in the World List by Pollstar Magazine which over 40 years has provided the most up-to-date, relevant, and useful data available for the global concert industry. Robert McCracken (Marketing Entertainment Manager) and his entire crew are incredibly professional, courteous, and downright friendly. On July 14th, 2024, Beartooth, Currents, Boundaries, and Nevertel would turn up the burners and do their very best to melt our faces. It has only been a couple of weeks since part of the Stir Cove parking lot was flooded when the Missouri River breached her banks. The water has since subsided but now summer hit us full on with a 97-degree day. As the sun beat down upon us, the sweat-stained crowd, much like a flood, surged forward. No dam was going to hold back the rush of humanity as it made its way rapidly toward the stage.
