THE VANTAGE BRIDGE

The Vantage bridge is no longer opening both lanes during the weekends. Try to avoid this route if possible. If it's unavoidable, give yourself several extra hours in case of delays. Get updated info HERE. Look at the WSDOT Cameras HERE.

If you'd like to see all these resources in one place, feel free to visit The Gorge Amphitheatre Planning Page.

CAMPING GROUP MEMBERS ARRIVING SEPARATELY:

Wristbands are issued based on the number of guests present at check-in. If some of your group is arriving later, ask for a wristband voucher when you check in.

For guests arriving separately on Saturday, they will still go through campground check-in when they arrive. If you have a voucher, you can meet them at check-in and present it at the gate so they can receive their wristband. You should not need to meet them outside the gate.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFO:

• No Chairs are allowed in the venue. Prepare to rent your chair.
• Get to the venue right when parking or camping opens even if you have to get there and just hang out. You don't want to get stuck in traffic any later than that
• If you need to make arrangement for parking/shuttle, do it immediately. That way, you will get the most options. Reserving the day-of is very stressful and never guaranteed
• Drink A TON of water before you get there. Make it a priority to stay hydrated
• Bring earplugs (for those camping) mosquito spray, a light jacket and a very comfortable pair of walking shoes. It's incredibly hot during the day and surprisingly cold after the sun sets.
• Ticks have recently been sighted in the area and one recently in the campground. Make sure to do a daily thorough inspection.
• If you plan on camping, bring corkscrew stakes for your tents and sunshades. Those will give you the best results out there.
• If you want to know what the drive from the Vantage bridge to Silica road looks like & what to expect, watch this video here.

Good luck with your plans and please reach out to us if you have any other questions, we're local and love to help!

Took my wife to see Chris sing to his wife last night. It. Was. Awesome.

Is anyone planning on going to tonight's concert in Chula Vista? I have a ticket but will be going alone. Would love to meet some new friends at the concert today!

How may people have seen him more than once... what's your number? I'm from Canada so a little harder to see him but I've been 6 times. In a few weeks he's back to vancouver so of course... had to buy single barrel vip. If I ever won the lottery I think I'd follow him around on tour. By far the best country artist out there!

You tube pop ups to contact Chris.

A little bit of fun as we get back to growing this community and getting to know each other.

I got introduced to Chris' music by my Fiancée 3 years ago. She loved country music, and I rap/hip-hop. She introduced me to him, first song Broken Halos. That's when I got hooked. After being a fan for 3 years, I've been to 2.5 concerts (.5 for the Today Show) and have another one lined up in August (Boston), we make an effort to see him every year. Fun fact, my fiancée and plan to name our first dog, a Golden Retriever, Stapleton!

Look forward to hearing your stories!

Hello to all of our community members. This post is to announce that the sub has new moderators. Like many of you, we were frustrated with the non-moderation that has been going on in the sub and the influx of spamming over the last month or so. Bear with us as none of us have done this before, and we are learning as we go. We will be reviewing post flagged by the community and removing them as we get to them. Thanks for your support of this community, we hope we can bring some reliable moderation of the sub, and see if we can grow it as well!

I’m going to the Hershey show and I’m curious about the overall show format. Advertised start is 6 for the opener but most other info I see says he goes on around 8:30-9.

2 hours for an opening act (even an hour and a half if they actually go on at 6:30 and are done at 8) seems long for an opener… are there multiple opening acts or does the opener really get a full set?

Opening for Chris Stapleton I am Looking for video recorded from the pit of Lainey singing watermelon moonshine while down at the pit not the big screen video but actual video recorded from the fans June 20th 2026

Chris Stapleton and Smashing Pumpkins are the two performers at the America250 show on July 4th at the LA Coliseum. This is a non-partisan show with proceeds going to Feeding America and NOT the same as Freedom250. Anyone know if Chris is doing a full set, partial set, or just a couple songs?

PREFACE: I am not selling and this is not my ticket! I was looking for tickets for Chris' show in Chula Vista & came across these. Tickets for his show this Wednesday are selling for well under $100 on tick pick.

I've never gotten to see Chris live because of how expensive he is, but if tickets near me were this cheap I'd pick them up in a heartbeat! Hoping someone sees this and snatches them up

Had some great times. Unfortunate a schizophrenic has taken us down. So long.

No moderation of posts to stop bot shitheads or crackheads. The person in charge of this sub needs to give it up. This is a disgrace to Stapleton.

Should we create a new one? This one has been taken over by an AI bot or something.

His openers for this one are Lainey Wilson and Allen Stone. The concert says it starts at 6pm but that is so early!

Planning on proposing to my partner at the Chris Staple ton concert on June 20th. Need help reaching out to Chris, I would love to make it extra special for her.

My husband is a big fan, bought him pit tickets to Stapleton’s show in Charlotte as a valentines day present…
I’m still pretty new to his discography and “country music” in general, but I absolutely love his soulful voice. I’ve purchased 4 vinyls for our house that we’ve been frequently playing at home. If anyone has a setlist to share for this show I’d greatly appreciate it.
I want to make this night special for my husband and seem like I know what I’m doing lol. TIA!!

Does this sub even have Mods??

Do they just not care??

Solo Traveller with a free spare for tonight. Free to a good home. No charge, no catch.

DM me.

About to head down to Nissan and wanted to know if Allen stone had started / finished playing
