Thousands of people are expected at the Alle-Kiski Valley’s newest outdoor concert venue in West Deer on Saturday night.
No Offseason Sports, a complex of sports fields along Little Deer Creek Valley Road, will hold the first concert at its amphitheater featuring country music star Justin Moore.
“It’s very exciting that Justin accepted this offer to be the first performance at our new venue,” said Joe Voloch, director of operations at No Offseason. “To start the first show off with him is a huge deal for us.”
Moore has 10 No. 1 country hits and won the 2014 New Country Artist of the Year Award.
Voloch said between 3,000 and 5,000 people are expected for the show.
The new amphitheater sits on the complex’s baseball field. The venue will be western themed with booths made of wooden fencing and the stage resembling a barn.
“Anything we can do to make this a wonderful experience for our community and fans is our goal,” Voloch said.
423 Productions, based in Alabama, helped the complex prepare for this show.
“Working with them has been unbelievable,” Voloch said. “They’ve been able to help us through this whole process. What needs to be done? What does the artist like? What do the fans like? And the artists are going to be amazed with the venue we built for them.”
Voloch said the buzz around the community has been exciting for Moore’s performance and the debut of West Deer Amphitheater.
“Everything has been positive and pure excitement,” Voloch said. “We are expecting to be different from any other venue in the area.”
And they have competition.
A concert at Pittsburgh Brewing’s new outdoor concert venue just a few miles away in East Deer drew more than 2,000 on Saturday. And the long-established summer concert series at Allegheny County’s Hartwood Acres park, also only a few miles from No Offseason, typically draws in the thousands for its concerts.
Voloch said their complex is different because they use 40 acres of land just for their concerts. He’s confident the complex will be able to handle a large turnout.
“Our sports complex goes through 5,000 to 7,000 people as it is,” Voloch said. “We know we can control this type of atmosphere.”
Police will be set up at all of the pinch points to help direct traffic.
The venue is limited to 1,000 parking spots, and will not be accepting any more cars. Voloch suggests coming early, ride-sharing or being dropped off.
The complex partners with Miller Lite to help promote upcoming concerts. There will be two more shows this summer at the new venue.
The next concert will be Aug. 9 with a performance by Brian Kelly from Florida Georgia Line. That concert will be a fundraiser to benefit the Tarentum Police Department.
The artist for the third performance on Sept. 9 will be announced Saturday at the Justin Moore concert.
