Burning Hills Amphitheatre tickets — Medora, North Dakota

Discover the Historic Burning Hills Amphitheatre

The Burning Hills Amphitheatre is more than an amphitheater — it's a historic stage that blends world-class performance with the raw beauty of the North Dakota Badlands. Perched just outside Medora, this open-air venue has welcomed generations of fans who come for unforgettable summer nights, sweeping views, and the state’s most beloved musical tradition. If you’re planning to secure Burning Hills Amphitheatre tickets, you’re in for a scenic, high-energy experience under the wide North Dakota sky.

Opened in 1958 and seating approximately 2,900 guests, the amphitheater is built right into the Badlands’ natural contours. Stadium-style seating cascades down the hillside toward the stage, creating excellent sightlines from nearly every seat. Modern sound and lighting enhance every performance while maintaining the venue’s rustic charm and natural acoustics.

This is the longtime home of the Medora Musical — a summer-long residency that has run every year since the venue’s debut. Each season brings a fresh lineup of nationally recognized talent alongside the resident Burning Hills Singers, plus guest appearances from country and western artists, cowboy poets, and bluegrass musicians. Special themed nights and patriotic celebrations add to the legacy.

Whether you’re visiting for the Medora Musical or a one-night-only concert, you’ll find a venue that feels both intimate and grand — a rare blend of showmanship and scenery that keeps fans returning year after year.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Burning Hills Amphitheatre offers seating for approximately 2,900 guests, arranged in outdoor, stadium-style rows that slope down the hillside toward the stage for excellent sightlines. Most performances use reserved seating, with sections typically labeled by letter or number from front (Row A) to back (Row Z or higher, depending on section).

• Lower Center Sections: For the most immersive view and natural acoustics, aim for the lower center sections near the stage. Seats in early rows like Row A and nearby offer close-up energy without sacrificing the backdrop of the Badlands.

• VIP Seating (select performances): When available, VIP areas provide premium views and added comfort. These sections are ideal if you want a top-tier experience with easy access and prime sightlines.

• Accessible Seating Areas: Dedicated accessible seating is available and should be requested in advance. Companion seating is typically nearby, making it easier for groups to stay together.

• Upper Rows and Panoramic Views: Higher rows trade proximity for breathtaking scenery. If you love a wide-angle perspective of the stage framed by the hills — plus gorgeous sunset views — these rows deliver.

• Side Sections: Seats off-center still face the stage and can offer great value, especially for larger groups who want to sit together within a single section.

Use the Burning Hills Amphitheatre seating chart to compare sections, rows, and views before you buy. Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart helps you quickly check live availability, compare ticket prices, and lock in the seats that fit your night out.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Burning Hills Amphitheatre

3422 Chateau Rd

Medora, North Dakota 58645

Set amid the Badlands near Medora, the amphitheater sits about 135 miles west of Bismarck, North Dakota — a scenic drive that sets the stage for a memorable evening outdoors.

• Parking: Free on-site parking is available adjacent to the amphitheater. Lots can fill quickly on busy nights, so plan to arrive early.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: No formal rideshare pickup/dropoff zone; rideshare availability may be limited in Medora.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, take the shuttle if needed, and settle in without rushing. On popular nights, parking lots fill up quickly — early arrival means shorter lines for entry and concessions.

This is an outdoor venue, so check the forecast and dress for changing conditions. Evenings can be cool in the Badlands; bring a light jacket or layers to stay comfortable once the sun dips. If you’re arriving earlier in the afternoon, consider sun protection for pre-show exploring and the walk from parking.

Expect a moderate uphill walk from the parking area to the amphitheater entrance. A mobility shuttle is available for guests who need assistance, and it’s a smart choice if you’re traveling with young children or carrying items. Cell service can be spotty due to the rural terrain, so download your tickets in advance and coordinate meeting points with your group before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

The amphitheater’s layout is straightforward — a main seating bowl with rows that cascade toward the stage, all facing the performance area. Concessions, restrooms, and a visitor information booth are conveniently located to serve pre-show and intermission needs. Merchandise stands offer Medora Musical and North Dakota-themed souvenirs if you want to bring home a piece of your night.

You’ll find concession stands serving snacks, soft drinks, and light meals, including local favorites like North Dakota-made ice cream. ATMs and nearby picnic areas add convenience for families and groups planning a leisurely evening. Because of the hillside setting and stadium steps, comfortable footwear is recommended.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early to catch the sunset over the Badlands — it’s part of the experience.
• Bring a light jacket for cool evenings and consider sun protection if you arrive before dusk.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your evening by arriving early to explore the grounds and enjoy the scenery. The amphitheater’s vantage point offers striking views — sunsets here are a favorite for returning fans and a perfect pre-show moment for photos.

If you’re coordinating a group, set an easy-to-find meeting spot such as the visitor information booth or a designated seating section. Preview the Burning Hills Amphitheatre seating chart before you go so everyone knows where they’re headed, and share tickets in advance in case cell coverage fluctuates.

For a classic Medora pairing, plan dinner before the show. The Pitchfork Steak Fondue serves up a one-of-a-kind outdoor dining experience with panoramic Badlands views — a memorable warm-up to the Medora Musical or a concert night.
