Isleta Amphitheater, Open-air performance venue in Albuquerque, United States

Isleta Amphitheater is an open-air performance venue in Albuquerque that accommodates up to 15,000 people. The space features numbered seating sections as well as a large open grass area for concerts across different music genres.

The venue opened in February 2000 as the Mesa del Sol Amphitheater, taking its name from the planned community of Mesa del Sol where it stands. In December 2000 the Albuquerque Journal bought the naming rights, making it the ABQ Journal Pavilion. The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Albuquerque held the rights from March 2010, when it became The Pavilion, until 2013, when it was renamed Isleta Amphitheater after the Pueblo of Isleta. First Financial Credit Union bought the naming rights in 2026, giving the venue its current name.

The name Isleta Amphitheater, adopted in 2013, comes from the Pueblo of Isleta, the Native community south of Albuquerque. The venue sits within Mesa del Sol, a planned community under development, and its lawn was enlarged during the 2009 season, raising capacity from 12,000 to 15,000.

The venue sits on University Boulevard SE with ample parking for visitors. During events, food and drinks are available, and guests can choose between seated areas or the lawn depending on their preference.
