The Sound

Operated by Ruth Eckerd Hall in partnership with the City of Clearwater, The Sound is downtown Clearwater's outdoor, waterfront concert venue.

Removable seating underneath the new venue's cover (and sound-mitigating membrane) can accommodate up to 4,000 people, with room for 5,000 additional folks on the lawn. A ticketed VIP area called "The View" is elevated on the stage right side and offers air conditioning, private bathrooms, plus a bar and primo sight lines. A backdrop that can completely open not only allows for easier load-in, but also views of Old Clearwater Bay.
