Kansas City\u2019s latest music venue made a good one for many visitors Wednesday, including myself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Morton Amphitheater in Riverside had its first-ever show Wednesday when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/entertainment\/kansas-city\/article315997901.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:pop singer Kesha performed;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;pop singer Kesha performed&quot;}\" class=\"link \">pop singer Kesha performed<\/a>. It truly felt like a new era had commenced within Kansas City entertainment. With the glitter and glam the fans brought to the bowl and Kesha opening up about her life throughout the show, it was a debut night that fans won\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Singer Kesha plays the guitar while preforming the song \u201cThinking of You\u201d during her Freedom Tour at the Morton Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The amphitheater\u2019s staff was loaded, and you notice them the minute you drive into the parking lot. There were at least six lanes to get into the venue, with several staff members helping folks get to where they need to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The same thing happened when you enter through the main gate, where several workers were awaiting fans. The security was pretty seamless, as the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/local\/article315856871.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:amphitheater previously said.;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;amphitheater previously said.&quot;}\" class=\"link \">amphitheater previously said.<\/a> Unless you have a bag, it only took a few minutes to get inside the venue barring a line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You\u2019ve got plenty of options to consider when you walk through security. You can chill in the huge patio in the front, or find something to eat across the multiple stands and food trucks on the concourse.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"The Morton Amphitheater at 6150 NW Music Blvd., is pictured on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/zqpsvGhWszoM_2ZBl_duDQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/kansas_city_star_mcclatchy_articles_677\/7d7972525769e13b537a1b385e07451e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>The Morton Amphitheater at 6150 NW Music Blvd., is pictured on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There\u2019s also multiple opportunities to get merch at the amphitheater. At least three stands were accounted for, including one outside the main entrance before walking in. The other is directly in the front when you get inside, while the other was on the left side, closer to the food trucks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Morton also gives you the chance to think about your next show before your current one begins. Workers were out on the concourse offering tickets as low as $30 for future shows like R\u00dcF\u00dcS DU SOL and Godsmack. The tickets even come at a cheaper cost, as buyers don\u2019t have to go through additional fees that other third-party sites have.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Visitors play cornhole before Kesha's Freedom Tour concert at the Morton Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/C6JUnXkQXn1W9tPEXseC6A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/kansas_city_star_mcclatchy_articles_677\/efb415d87ab0910dd52487353082c353\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Visitors play cornhole before Kesha&#8217;s Freedom Tour concert at the Morton Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The views and vibes at the amphitheater were high<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One comment I overheard from a fan was that every seat seemed like a good seat in the venue. As you walk around the bowl, that\u2019s exactly how it felt. Whether you were in the grass areas the 300 section, it seemed like everyone had a clear shot of the stage without it feeling far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sitting in the 300s section, you can pretty much see everything happening on stage. You can even see the on-stage ASL interpreter tucked into the left side of the stage. It\u2019s unclear if the interpreter was employed by Kesha or with the amphitheater, but it was cool to see that people who are deaf or hard of hearing were considered for this venue.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Singer Kesha performs the song \u201cJoyride\u201d during her Freedom Tour at the Morton Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/BjIKLAf.F7nc_4WTuRIzMA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/kansas_city_star_mcclatchy_articles_677\/622b4405d008cd52ffd476d244a35d06\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Singer Kesha performs the song \u201cJoyride\u201d during her Freedom Tour at the Morton Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, in Riverside.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I also have to shout out the workers for letting fans dance on the walkways in between sections. Most of the time, security doesn\u2019t play those type of games and asks you to sit down immediately. However, considering the energy was great in the bowl and this was a historical moment in Kansas City, it was nice to see people have fun uninterrupted.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Fans had mixed experiences at new venue<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Like any new venue, there were some kinks that the amphitheater will have to iron out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Some fans were having issues when it came to rideshare dropoff. Sania Ebert said that her ride took her around the entire venue, even though the rideshare area is north of the main entrance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt looped us all the way around the whole venue, to the point where we kind of thought they directed us to the wrong place,\u201d Ebert said. She also noted that when she typed in Morton Amphitheater into Uber, the venue didn\u2019t show up. She was able to find it after typing in the actual address, 6150 NW Music Blvd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the venue being able to hold 6,000 cars in its parking lot, traffic was inevitable on the first day.
