Coca-Cola Amphitheater’s 2026 lineup + new food & beverage options
Reading time: 3 minutes
After welcoming more than 180,000 concertgoers during its inaugural season, the Coca-Cola Amphitheater is gearing up for an even bigger and better concert series this summer. With upgraded food and beverage options, more affordable concessions and—of course—another stacked concert lineup, there’s something for everyone at the Coca-Cola Amphitheater.
What’s new at the Coca-Cola Amphitheater this year?
A little less than a year since it welcomed its first guests, the Coca-Cola Amphitheater is doubling down on what worked during its inaugural season—and making a few improvements based on audience feedback.
One popular initiatives of the Amphitheater’s inaugural season was the Uptown Jam Tram, a free shuttle service offered by the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) in partnership with the Coca-Cola Amphitheater. With high-energy shuttles running between the Uptown Entertainment District and the Coca-Cola Amphitheater every ten minutes, parking for a show has never been easier.
One of the biggest upgrades this year is the Coca-Cola Amphitheater’s new and improved food and beverage program. Fan-favorites like Mosh Burger and Ziggy’s Magic Pizza Shop are back, joined by new additions like pork dumplings from Jade Lane and handholdable ice cream options from CVT Soft Serve.
Fans can still grab $2 hot dogs, $5 beers and snacks starting at $3.
New beverage additions include fresh-squeezed citrus cocktails, a skinny hibiscus margarita and partnerships with local craft breweries, including Good People Brewing Co.’s Hazy Snake IPA.
“In today’s economy, we want to have something for everyone. This is a 9,200-seat venue, but it feels much more intimate than that, even if you’re sitting in the top level. Two thirds of our tickets are $100 or less—we’re really trying to make that price point more affordable.”
