Cape Cod Melody Tent Reviews

Now fans to blow the 90 plus degree heat for the show. Torture tent.

Great venue, revolving stage and good acoustics. An open air feeling with good cover.

One of my favorite venues for a concern on the Cape, there is literally no bad seat anywhere in the house. Acoustics as well as sight-lines are excellent. Plenty of bathrooms and decent-enough concessions. Be aware that however easy it was to get in and park, it will be a million times harder when the concert is over and everyone leaves at the same time through a very limited number of vehicle exits. Allow yourself plenty of extra time.

Great venue. Small and every seat is good. Saw Eddie Money and then returned the next night to see the 4 Tops/Temptations. Bought tickets from box office on the same day as show

Cape Cod Chowder Festival today. Great time. Good set up.

Small venue with a big top feel. The stage is round and spins to provide every audience member a clear view of performance. A gem for the outer cape where eagle eyed folks can snag great tickets to amazing performers on the cheap.

Love love love this venue! I'm not from the area but it's well worth the drive. There isn't a bad seat in the house and I love how the stage rotates slowly. Very clean, cute area outside the tent with lots of food/drink vendors and large bathrooms. While parking is free and on site, get ready for a mess trying to leave the parking lot at the end of the night - it was a cluster of angry drivers inches away from each other with nobody directing traffic until you pull out into the road. A small inconvenience to pay for a great venue, but something that could be easily improved with some staff direction.

Nice summer venue. No AC, dress cool on warm night's.

Used to walk down from our house & just dance outside if we weren't seeing a show that night. Awesome venue man. Really unique.

Air didn't move, not an incredibly hot night, but with enough people it got uncomfortable. 2. FREAKIN parking...free, but sardine like. If you aren't first or last, you're basically trapped. No lanes between rows. Was more like a game of checkers...if that car moves, and then that one, maybe I can get at least closer to a way out. God forbid you need to leave early--get an emergency call maybe? 3. Weird dude hanging out in men's room pointing to obviously open doors into stalls. Maybe if there needed TP replaced? I'm not sure he actually moved all night. Sat in chair collecting tips. Yes I've been to European and Latin American countries, and I've noticed some airports have custodial guys w tip jars. But they're usually up doing...things. And did I mention parking?

Overpriced beverages but probably part of performers cut. Intimate setting and revolving stage gives every seat a good view

This venue is unreal for concerts. Not a bad seat in the place!!

I enjoyed this concert place for as long as I can remember. Lots of great acts, and great variety of shows. There are a few things that bugged me, like when other people stand up through the entire show, but overall a great place.

Went to Daughtry and venue was perfect. Able to enjoy the band up close. I was blown away by the band. Very talented.

Holy smokes, this place is great! The energy of the crowd and the general atmosphere is just fantastic!
This is the second time I've played both the CCMT and the Music Circus in Cohasset, and I love coming up here each time!

Small circular venue with rotating stage so everyone gets a good view. The show we saw "Pink Martini" was phenomenal.

Awesome place to catch a show. Not a bad seat anywhere!

I would give this venue 5 stars based on the proximity to the stage alone. But my story from this last week-end leaves me wanting to give them 6 stars! We flew into town to see Jim Gaffigan on Sun night with airline tix to leave the next morning. To our horror, we discovered at the gate for the show that we had bought tickets for Monday's show. The show was completely sold out and we were hosed. I asked for the manager (Keith) and told him my sob story. He didn't hesitate to get us in and set up special seats for us in the back. This was my 50th B-day trip and he absolutely bailed us out. We are so grateful and would love to attend any event at this venue in the future.

The parking lot is a joke. They have children parking cars bumper to bumper so you are unable to move unless the 16 rows in front of you have moved. I do not recommend the venue to anyone.

Saw the Dark Star Orchestra. Not a bad seat in the house.

Horrible employees. People don't need to get drunk and stand the whole time. I paid to see the artist not your backside. Rude people.

Every seat has a great view. Seats could be a bit bigger for comfort.

great times under the tent on those gorgeous cape cod summer nights!!

Fifty years on the Cape, and it took going to what was probably my fortieth show at the Melody Tent to have a horrible experience. I took my wife and daughter to see Darcie Lynne after purchasing tickets five months in advance. We were seven rows back, but at the side of the stage with a pole obscuring our view for the entire show. We couldn t even see the large screen they used. We had to crane our necks to watch the entire show on a small screen projected on the ceiling at the back of the tent. Apparently $150 and a lifetime of visits doesn t even warrant a return phone call or email regarding the experience (the reason for my negative review after so many years). Buyer beware, best available tickets purchased well in advance means nothing.

I suggest bringing your own food and hope you do not get stuck in the center parking spot with no wait out.

Nice small venue but would NOT consider going there on a hot day. There are no fans or air conditioning

After two concerts here, the acoustics is pretty poor. The sound was loud but muffled at both shows. The rotating stage ensures everyone faces the front of the stage half the time. The other half you're behind the stage.

Double sold our seats then pulled us outside to give seats to the group that showed up 20 minutes after show started. I'll give a 3 star review because they put us in better seats after I voiced my frustrations with the way things were handled

Hot Humid August night so inside the Tent it was quite hot. No fans at all. Tommy James was great. He still Rocks at 71!

Nice intimate setting. The people on stage are up so close. The stage circles around so everyone can see Martina McBride.

The melody tent is a sneaky great venue. It's small so every seat is close and although you won't find a band in their prime many great shows do come through. Every year they have many top performers, who themselves come to Cape Cod for a vacation.

Depends on the show, some shows I would have paid a million to see, others I wanted to ask for my money back.

ZZ Top, great fun, no bad seat, very close, rotating stage. Very hot 90 degrees, no ac but worth it!

This is fairly intimate venue. Not a bad seat as the stage rotates. I've been coming here for over 30 years and have seen my share of musical acts and comedians. I gave them 4 stars because the tickets prices are a bit high and it's a literal tent that can be very uncomfortable on a hot night. I would have thought after all these years that they would be able to figure out some way to cool down the space. With all that said they have some great talent booked every summer.

Great place to see a show. I would have given 5 stars but the bathroom wait was a little long in between the change of the bands but there really isn't a bad seat in the house...

Saw Michael Franti here. It is a great place for concerts.

Doesn't matter where you are seated, all are a great spot.

I always love this venue, every seat has a great view, parking is easy, and drinks are a good price! I highly recommend it!

Great place to see a show and bring the family... Go in the summer and enjoy cape cod. Go in an RV and stay in one of the great local RV camps... Cheap travel and a beautiful spot..

Great place to see a concert staff is great as well

Drinks were expensive. The "drink of the day" had the highest alcohol content according to the sales person. Dress really comfortably it gets really hot under the tent.

Comfortable, good acoustics, very good prices, long concert

So excited to see the avett brothers and so far north! The sound wasn't the greatest and we seemed to be mostly looking at their backsides. Great concert though!

We enjoyed the show. The only downside was the sound system. While Eddie Money and his band we're performing the sound was good, but when Eddie was talking the audience we had difficulty making out what he was saying. Same way with the comedian before. We had a difficult time understanding him.

There isn't a bad seat in the house. Been seeing Lyle Lovett here every summer for the past 13 summers!

Great night watching Herman's Hermits and Tommy James and the Shondells. I little warm but overall awesome time!

First time there for KC and the Sunshine Band. It was an extremely hot night, I just wish they would've opened up the flaps and let the breeze in. KC and the Sunshine Band put on an excellent show considering the heat. That's the way we like it uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh!

Always a good time. All seats are good as the center stage rotates. Can feel small when the gent is closed up meaning all sides are down as in bad weather. Fun place to see a band though.
