Great venue. Lower seating is surrounded by an upper grassy area. Entrances and exits easy to find. There is free parking. Getting out can be a challenge. Patience or strategic ninja driving will be rewarded there. Sound quality at the stage is good, plenty of big screens to watch the show if watching from the grass. Lots of food choices.

Visited Shoreline Amphitheatre for Google I/O 2025, and I must say – what an incredible experience! The venue itself is iconic, nestled in the heart of Mountain View with a scenic backdrop and a layout that blends open-air energy with solid organization. From the moment I entered, the staff and volunteers ensured everything was smooth – quick check-ins, clear signage, and a great flow of people. The open lawn seating offered a relaxed vibe, while the structured seating closer to the stage made it easy to focus during keynotes and product announcements. The sound and visuals were top-notch, as you’d expect from a tech giant’s annual developer conference. Despite hosting thousands of attendees, the space never felt overwhelming – there’s something magical about the combination of cutting-edge innovation and fresh California air. Bonus points for food trucks, chill zones, and interactive booths around the venue. Google really knows how to use every inch of Shoreline to deliver both inspiration and comfort. Whether you’re here for a concert or a conference like Google I/O, Shoreline Amphitheatre is a venue that delivers the full experience – energy, views, vibe, and functionality all in one.

Perfect venue for Google I/O. Seating was comfortable for longer sessions. The surrounding park and amenities were excellent for the event. Lighting and sound for live speaking and the DJ were really well done. Can’t wait to go back to Shoreline to see some rockin’ music now!

A large open air theatre near Google Headquarters in Mountain View.Can accommodate thousands of spectators, including VIPs, for musical concerts and other stage performances.A popular place for nearby residents and the visiting guests at Googleplex. Staff is welcoming and cheerful. Area is neat and clean.Food trucks are available. Parking space itself might not be a problem ; but, long ques of cars , waiting to enter parking or on road before that waste about 45 minutes.Same happens after the show. Similarly, strangely, you are NOT allowed to carry purses or bags of certain size and certain types of items therein.This is frustrating.They should make arrangement for scanning.Issues related to traffic congestion before/ after show MUST be addressed/ resolved by the management at earliest.After all, customers are paying hefty amounts on entry tickets...

We were at the Offspring concert, it was cool, but questions about how they control drunk people on the lawn, please organize a separate place for drinkers and those who like mass slams. People were jumping on the slope and due to the inability to control their bodies (alcohol) they fell on people, no one controlled it. I left with bruises, a girl fell on me, who in turn was pushed by a huge guy, he could not maintain control in the drunken chaos and did not stay on the slope of the mountain. I would also like it if they did not sell alcohol stronger than beer during the concert. and did not allow you to bring it with you, it was really scary at the very end of the concert.

Getting tickets was easy. Parking was easy. We saw Kids BOP. Friends told me to get there early so I did. I walk with a cane and an employee noticed that, asked if I would like assistance getting to the front and I was grateful. Same employee was there at the end to point me in the right direction at the end of the evening also. My only complaint was the view of the stage. The upper half of the lawn was blocked off for some reason so we had to find spots behind people who had rented chairs. My 7 year old was disapointed she couldn't see the stage. There is no shade on the lawn ao bring sun hats and sun block. They were serious about the size of the bags you can bring in. Make sure they are clear.

The venue has always been great. We attended on a Friday night and then again on a Sunday night. However, the parking situation can be torturous. The signage for the different lots is almost non-existent until you arrive. Then, the people that are running the traffic breaks seem to not know what they're doing. We watched them dropping cones in front of cars to stop them, picking it up, and then setting it back down, without any traffic flowing through intersections and the were no pedestrians, at that time. Sunday night seemed to be worse than Friday. We were almost missed our headliner. Thankfully, she took the stage late. Allowing for our 45 minute,1.5 mile entrance into the parking lot. It would have been faster to walk in as a pedestrian or ride a bicycle. Then it was to drive in. However, leaving the lots c and d and premier parking. Was the easiest thing we've ever done at this location. If you can afford to pay for one of these lots, it's totally worth it. When leaving we were out and onto the freeway in under 5 minutes.

A little weird for a music venue. No pit and feels like an amusement park with all the food stands. Pretty, though, and I would go back just maybe for a less hype band. Getting out after is a mess but expected.

Pretty strict venue with awkward view points. Warning do NOT wear spikes or chains you will have to throw them away or pay for them to be held (a card only too). Infested with security as well which is both good and bad. Be ready to walk a while and cross a few roads before entering
