FPL Solar Amphitheater Performers

Bayfront Park has seen great performances since its original bandshells first attracted audiences in the late 1920s. After the Amphitheater arrived as part of the area’s extensive redevelopment in the 1980s, headliners included Nirvana, Megadeth, Lenny Kravitz and Phish. Later came Nicki Minaj, Third Eye Blind, Pitbull and Dua Lipa. The Amphitheater has also attracted enthusiastic crowds for the Ultra Music Festival, America’s premier dance-music event. In 2001, Paul Oakenfold and Paul Van Dyk topped the bill for the first of Ultra’s many mainstage shows here.
