Wonderful place to see concerts. Even if your in the back row you can see everything that is going on. A lot more reasonable than big concert venues. While on the Cape its a great night out. More

We try to catch a show at the Melody Tent each summer. The atmosphere is intimate-I mean it. You are never more than 20 rows away from the stage. We ride our bikes there and lock them up on the fence-saw the Beach Boys there and had a blast. More

I go here at least once a month, every year. Have seen, Tony Bennett, Beach Boys, twice, Huey Lewis, twice, Rain, Abba, both tribute acts. Some others I cannot remember. Tickets are not cheap, but if you use Ticketmaster, it is easy to get tickets. I have had front row seats to each concert, and never even asked for them.... More

Love the Melody Tent. Small place with great staff. Food and drinks are high in price but better than any of the big places you would go see a show. Not a bad seat in the house because it is such a small place and the stage turns so there is no real front and center. More

I have seen the Moody Blues here a few times. Front row is in talking distance of the band. Because the stage is a small circle, the band is very close to the edge.

Have seen and heard many different types of entertainment here. They do a good job with the crowds and seating. Lots of parking, but be patient leaving as cars have to funnel out row by row into little Hyannis. More
