What to Know Before You Go: Truliant Amphitheater

Truliant Amphitheater sits at 707 Pavilion Boulevard in Charlotte’s University City neighborhood, right off the I-485/US-29 interchange. The venue opened in 1991 and has operated under several names — Blockbuster Pavilion, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, and most recently PNC Music Pavilion — before Truliant Federal Credit Union took over naming rights in 2026. The amphitheater holds approximately 19,500 fans: 7,232 covered pavilion seats, around 2,200 reserved lawn spots, and 10,000 general admission lawn spaces. A 100-by-54-foot stage anchors the open-air layout, backed by concert-grade lighting and sound systems maintained by Live Nation. Parking is included with every ticket across the venue’s 6,800-space lot, with premium parking upgrades available for those who want to be closer to the gates.

Getting to the Show & Charlotte Tips

If you’re driving, I-485 connects to US-29 (North Tryon Street), and the venue entrance is clearly marked from both directions. Rideshare drop-offs are organized along a dedicated lane near the main gate — plan for surge pricing after the show wraps. For those staying in Uptown Charlotte, the drive is about 20 minutes without traffic. The University City area around the amphitheater has plenty of dining options if you want to grab food before gates open, including spots along the West W.T. Harris Boulevard corridor. Charlotte’s tourism board recommends exploring the NoDa arts district and South End brewery scene if you’re making a weekend of it.

Why the Inhale / Exhale Tour Stands Apart

RÜFÜS DU SOL has always blurred the line between DJ set and live performance, and the Inhale / Exhale album gives them even more material to work with on stage. The record — their fifth — dropped in October 2024 and earned a 2026 GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Songs like “Music Is Better” lean into euphoric, festival-ready builds, while tracks like “Lately” pull the tempo back into reflective, downtempo territory. Live, the trio performs everything with real instruments — synthesizers, drum machines, guitars — layered over evolving visuals that transform the stage into something closer to an art installation than a typical concert.

With over 1.5 million fans reached across their current global run and 750,000-plus headline tickets sold, this is a group performing at the peak of their powers. The Charlotte stop sits in the middle of the North American summer leg, meaning the setlist and stage production will be fully dialed in by the time they hit Truliant Amphitheater.

The Support Acts: Maribou State, Fcukers & Ben Böhmer

The undercard for this tour deserves its own spotlight. Maribou State, the English duo known for textured, downtempo electronic compositions, bring a live-band setup that pairs beautifully with the headliner’s aesthetic. Fcukers deliver high-energy, industrial-leaning dance music that will push the crowd’s pulse before the main event. And Ben Böhmer, the Berlin-based producer celebrated for his melodic progressive house, has become one of the genre’s most in-demand live acts — his Instagram following alone speaks to the audience he draws. Together, the support lineup ensures the energy builds naturally from gates to encore.
