PromoWest Pavilion at OVATION

Located on the Ohio River in Newport, Ky. directly across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio, no other venue offers the flexibility, versatility, and intimacy of PromoWest Pavilion at OVATION. Available year-round for concerts, corporate functions, sporting events, and private engagements, OVATION's industrial architecture and unique rock-n-roll ambiance is ideal for creating a high-energy atmosphere for any event. At the same time, the spacious multi-level facility is able to transform itself into a glamorous ballroom suitable for the most elegant events such as weddings, banquets, and formal charity dinners.

PromoWest Pavilion at OVATION is the third indoor/outdoor concert venue in America. Modeled after its predecessors, EXPRESS LIVE! in Columbus Ohio, and Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA, PromoWest Pavilion at OVATION features state-of-the-art lighting, acoustical systems, and an innovative reversible, movable stage. Whether indoor or out, the venue offers unparalleled viewable intimacy. Acoustically, it's designed to capture and translate the truest experience possible. Structurally, it's divided into three independent concert spaces: indoor music hall, indoor club, and an outdoor amphitheater.

The indoor season is booked throughout the year with the outdoor season scheduled from May to September. Once open, PromoWest Pavilion at OVATION will average over 110 events every year and will offer a variety of music from some of the biggest names in rock, folk, blues, jazz, metal, classical, country, classic rock, alternative rock, and everything in between. Additionally, OVATION will host sporting and special events such as championship boxing, extreme fighting challenges, charity walks, fundraisers, expos, and more.
