Matt K.’s take

Visited 2026-08-15

Visited

I went to Dirty Heads and 311 on August 15, 2026, with friends. We took Uber there and back, which meant no parking to deal with. Our tickets were in section BXD9, row D9.

Read Matt K.’s full take

The box seats kept us out of the sun, and we could order food and drinks to our seats without getting up and wandering around. I checked the show notes for set times and arrived a little before Dirty Heads went on; that worked for us on this visit.

We only ate at our seats that night. The food wasn’t my favorite, but I enjoyed the drinks. Next time, I’d eat in Clayton before the show. My ideal night would be dinner, the concert, then an optional stop at Clayton Club afterward.

Getting home was a quick Uber ride back to Clayton, and the rideshare lanes were clearly marked. My biggest tip: on a hot day, consider seats under cover, and check the shade and services for the specific seats you’re buying.

My pre-show dinner picks are Ed’s Mudville Grill (Good), Moresi’s Chophouse (Better), and Enye Latin Table (Best). Those are my personal tiers based on the overall mix of price, food, atmosphere and service.

I bought my own tickets through SeatGeek for this visit.

This describes one visit. Seating services, shade, menus and travel times can vary.

Before you go

Event-specific instructions take priority over general guidance.

Driving and parking

General parking is included with your concert ticket. The FAQ directs general parking to Gate A, Premier to Gate B and VIP to Gate C. Its accessible-parking directions conflict; see Accessible services below and confirm with the venue. Check show-day opening times. No tailgating or overnight parking.

Official guidance: Driving and parking ↗ · Checked 2026-09-20

BART, shuttle and rideshare

The free shuttle connects Concord BART and the pavilion. Service generally starts when parking opens; return buses begin within about 20 minutes after the concert, with the last around one hour after it ends. Confirm show-day service and your final BART connection. Rideshare uses Gate B and C-lot; follow staff directions and keep the bus zone clear.

Official guidance: BART, shuttle and rideshare ↗ · Checked 2026-09-20

Accessible services

The dedicated accessibility page directs accessible parking through Gate B to A-lot, while the general parking section of the FAQ still says Gate C. Confirm your entrance with 925-676-8742 or PavilionBoxOffice@livenation.com before traveling. Accessible spaces require a state-issued plate or placard and are first come, first served. Book accessible seating with your event ticket; do not rely on a day-of exchange.

Official guidance: Accessible services ↗ · Checked 2026-09-20

Guest services

For visit questions, contact the Box Office at 925-676-8742 or PavilionBoxOffice@livenation.com. Ask venue staff for assistance on arrival.

Official guidance: Guest services ↗ · Checked 2026-09-20

Listening assistance and interpretation

Contact the venue at least two days ahead for a listening device; bring headphones. Request a sign-language interpreter at least two weeks ahead after buying tickets, and include your ticket type and the number of guests needing interpretation.

Official guidance: Listening assistance and interpretation ↗ · Checked 2026-09-20

Lawn access and weather

The lawn is uncovered. Wet weather can make the terrain difficult for wheelchairs and limited mobility. An accessible pathway runs around its back edge; discuss your seating needs with the venue before booking.
