Editorial Review for Riverbend Music Center – by Anne Arenstein
The Scene
On the banks of the Ohio, this outdoor venue can seat 6,000 under the covered pavilion and an additional 5,000 in the lawn seats. Picnics are a given, but plan on buying all drinks, even bottled water, on site. There are also restrictions on what kind of chairs you can bring in for lawn seating; chairs are available for rental. But you may as well just bring a blanket--once the music starts, you have to stand to see anything.
The Draw
The sound system is excellent and Jumbo-tron screens have been added for rock concerts. If the pavilion isn't sold out, you can always move in after intermission. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Pops make their summer home here, and there's also a full schedule of pop, rock, jazz, alternative and country music.

I attended the Kenny Chesney show on Thursday night. I paid well over $500.00 for my tickets. This was my choice to do to be able to see him, but there had to be something wrong with him. He did not put on a good show at all. I love going to Riverbend, I think it is a perfect place for concerts. The only drawback to Thursday night's show was too many people. I am just wondering if Kenny was sick or tired or what the problem was because he didn't even come back out for an encore. Right now I am kicking myself in the you know what for paying that much for the ticket.
Pros: Love being outside
Cons: Too many tickets sold, not enough bathrooms

Poor Kenny Chesney had no where to run during his performance on Thursday night, he is a very active performer for his audience and Riverbend didn't even have room for his stage to come out in front!What a rip-off for the artist and the fans!The stage is way too small for these big artists!Build it bigger!I do have to say the security was the best I have seen anywhere during a Kenny show!
Pros: Good parking if you get there early!
Cons: People throwing garbage everywhere!People urinating everywhere!
