Azura Amphitheater is actually in Bonner Springs, Kansas, about 15 miles southwest of Riverside, MO.

Azura Amphitheater is an 18,000-capacity outdoor venue at 633 N 130th Street, Bonner Springs, KS, just west of Kansas City. It’s not directly managed by Live Nation but by New West Presentations, a local promoter. However, Live Nation often partners with such venues for ticketing and event promotion through Ticketmaster, which it owns. Azura hosts a variety of concerts across genres like rock, country, and pop, with a mix of reserved seating (3,100 seats) and general admission lawn space.

As of today, March 31, 2025, here’s a snapshot of Azura’s 2025 lineup:
  • June 26-28: Country Stampede with Luke Bryan (Thursday), Miranda Lambert (Friday), and Cole Swindell (Saturday).
  • July 13: Slightly Stoopid - Step Into The Sun Summer Tour at 7:30 PM.
  • July 25: Old Dominion - How Good Is That World Tour at 7:00 PM.
  • August 9: Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour at 7:00 PM.
  • September 25: Three Dog Night & Little River Band at 7:30 PM.
Tickets for these events are available via Ticketmaster, tying back to Live Nation’s influence. The venue’s history goes back to 1984 when it opened as Sandstone Amphitheater, and it’s had multiple name changes (e.g., Verizon Wireless, Providence Medical Center) before Azura Credit Union took naming rights in 2021. It’s a key spot for Kansas City-area concerts, drawing big acts yearly.
If you meant the upcoming Riverside, MO, amphitheater instead, let me know—I can shift focus to that Live Nation project, still under construction as of now!
