The Orion Amphitheater continues to prove it’s one of the top 10 amphitheaters its size in the world.

Pollstar, the prestigious digital site that provides data for the global concert industry, just ranked our beloved amphitheater:

#10 Worldwide Amphitheater by tickets sold
#9 Worldwide Amphitheater by gross sales

The mid-year ranking is based on the first half of 2025.

“Every show at The Orion is the result of countless small decisions made with our guests in mind—from the first Know Before You Go email to the last ‘come back soon!’ from our Guest Services team.

We take pride in curating a lineup that reflects both the heart of Huntsville and the artists shaping what’s next, but it’s the care we pour into every detail—signature drinks, fan activations, artist welcomes, the energy of our team—that turns a concert into a memory.

Earning a Top Ten spot worldwide is a huge honor, and it speaks to the passion, intention and hospitality that our entire staff brings to each and every show. We’re deeply grateful to the City of Huntsville and the Huntsville Music Office for championing the music industry and helping create an environment where venues like The Orion—and the artists we host—can thrive.”Alex Craig “AC”, General Manager::The Orion Amphitheater
