From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek is an outdoor amphitheatre in Raleigh, North Carolina that specializes in hosting large concerts. The amphitheatre is located on the west bank of Walnut Creek, southeast of Raleigh near the I-40/US 64/I-440 (Beltline) interchange. It was built by the City of Raleigh with private sector participation and opened in 1991; the inaugural act was The Connells. Seating capacity is about 7,000, of which about half are under cover; the open lawn can accommodate another 13,000.

The venue was formerly known as Alltel Pavilion, Hardees Walnut Creek, and simply Walnut Creek Amphitheatre. The venue is operated by Live Nation, a concert company, under lease from the City of Raleigh.
