Concert season is upon us, Charlotte. Ahead of the summer season, Truliant Amphitheater — formerly PNC Music Pavilion — and Skyla Credit Union Amphitheater unveiled new offerings for music fans in the Charlotte region.

“Charlotte has become a must-play music destination, and that’s because of the fans,” Grant Lyman, co-president of Live Nation‘s US regions, told CLTtoday. “So we want to make sure they’ve got the best day ever, and they leave happy and wanting to come back.”

New features

New this year, Truliant showcased four covered seated areas in the north and south plazas near the food stalls, providing respite from the sun while enjoying the show. Pro tip: The food stalls feature screens so you don’t miss the action on stage.

Truliant also boasts a quiet zone and complimentary sensory bags for fans — look for it on the KultureCity app.

Dinner is served

Truliant is leveling up concessions with options like Rebel Hen chicken tenders, Mosh Burger, Jade Lane Dumplings, and Tacos del Centro. Drinks include cocktails, mocktails, and new “RIFFresher” options like pineapple yuzu lemonade, strawberry Red Bull, and berry hibiscus — plus dairy-free Jolene Coffee.

At Skyla, expect tenders and burgers, along with new additions like Koko’s Bavarian and Ziggy’s Pizza.

“If you’re coming here on a Tuesday night straight from work, we want to make sure you have great food,” said Lyman.

Editor Maria, here. The chicken tenders and dumplings are so crisp and savory, you can’t go wrong.
