Toyota Pavilion at Concord, formerly known as the Sleep Train Pavilion and Concord Pavilion, is an amphitheatre in Concord, California, with a capacity of 12,500 people. Designed by architect Frank Gehry and landscape architect Peter Walker, the venue opened in 1975 and underwent a significant 1996 renovation and expansion by Gehry that added parking and seating. Owned by the City of Concord and currently operated by Live Nation, the amphitheatre hosts concerts, community events including an annual jazz festival, and high school graduations. The venue's history includes notable performances: Bing Crosby played his final U.S. concert there on August 16, 1977, the day Elvis Presley died, and Lawrence Welk performed what was billed as his farewell show in 1982. Concert promoter Bill Graham died in a 1991 helicopter crash after leaving a Huey Lewis and the News concert at the pavilion.
