The Pavilion at Montage Mountain is worth the drive on a good night. On a great one — and an Alabama night qualifies — it earns everything you put into it. The venue sits inside a ski resort outside Scranton, carved into 70 acres of wooded terrain, with room for up to 18,000 people between fixed amphitheater seating and an expansive lawn. On Sunday, July 12, Alabama takes the stage at 7:00 PM for what is shaping up to be one of the bigger country nights of the summer in the Southern Tier.
About Alabama
Three cousins from Fort Payne, Alabama — Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook — formed Alabama in 1969, put in years on the Myrtle Beach club circuit, and broke through with “Tennessee River,” which kicked off a streak of more than 40 number-one country hits. The math on their career is staggering: over 75 million records sold worldwide, induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005, a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, and more than 200 industry awards — the most of any band in country music history. Billboard named them Country Artist of the 1980s.
The band disbanded in 2004 but reunited in 2010 and has been touring steadily since. A live Alabama set is a survey of the catalog that shaped modern country: “Mountain Music,” “Dixieland Delight,” “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas,” “Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler),” “Love in the First Degree.” Songs people know every single word to.
The Venue
The Pavilion at Montage Mountain offers 7,500 fixed amphitheater seats and a 10,000-person lawn — 18,000 total capacity — tucked into a wooded mountain setting that gives an outdoor show real atmosphere. Parking lots open at 3:00 PM and general parking is typically included with your ticket, so arriving early costs you nothing and gets you a better spot. The venue’s mobile app takes 5% off ticket prices — worth a download before you check out.
