Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre[1](originally known as the Desert Sky Pavilion and most recently known as Ak-Chin Pavilion) is an amphitheater located in Phoenix, Arizona, which seats 8,106 under a pavilion roof and an additional 12,000 on a hillside behind the main stands.[2] It opened on November 11, 1990 (Billy Joel was the venue's inaugural performer).[3] The naming rights sponsor is Talking Stick Resort (the venue is not located on tribal land). With a total capacity of 20,000, its capacity is higher than Footprint Center and Desert Diamond Arena. The amphitheater's season starts in April and closes in October.
