532      <p class="text-white"><strong>April 25, 2024</strong><br>
533        Bonner Springs, KS – Azura Amphitheater will celebrate a milestone  anniversary concert season this year, when its season kicks off next Tuesday,  April 30th with<a href="https://www.azuraamp.com/kansas-city-concert-and-events-calendar.html#sessanta"> Sessanta</a>, officials announced. The largest  local independently run concert venue in the United States, Azura Amphitheater, enters its  40th concert season this summer, reaffirming its status as an iconic  cornerstone of the vibrant Kansas City music scene. </p>
534      <p class="text-white">Since its inception in 1984, Azura  Amphitheater has hosted a diverse array of world-class performers, captivating  audiences with unforgettable live music experiences. The venue's commitment to  delivering top-tier entertainment has solidified its reputation as a beloved  cultural hub in the heart of Kansas City. Over the past four decades, Azura  Amphitheater has showcased a spectrum of musical genres, from rock and pop to  country and hip-hop, attracting fans from all walks of life. </p>
535      <p class="text-white">Past performances include Foo  Fighters, Glass Animals, The Killers, Kid Rock, Mumford &amp; Sons, Metallica, Celine  Dion, Eagles, Kenny Chesney, Cher, Morgan Wallen, Aerosmith<strong>, </strong>Elton John, Lollapalooza, Grateful Dead and more. In total,  over 1,000 major recording and touring artists have graced the amphitheater  stage. </p>
536      <p class="text-white">The venue's picturesque setting and  unwavering dedication to providing an exceptional live music experience have  made it a go-to destination for music enthusiasts. Venue management is always  striving to improve the experience for fans. On the docket this year is a  one-million-dollar facility upgrade with improvements to both the front and  back of the house, which should please both fans and artists alike. </p>
537      <p class="text-white">Another big addition to celebrating  its 40th season and beyond, Azura Amphitheater is the new home of Country  Stampede, which is set for June 27-29.

From breakthrough performances by emerging  artists to legendary acts that have graced its stage, the venue has become  synonymous with musical excellence and community spirit.</p>
539      <p class="text-white">Leading the way for the continued success of the venue is  long-time legendary concert promoter and venue operator Chris Fritz, President  of New West Presentations. His storied career in live event promotion includes  concerts, co-founding the National Indoor Lacrosse League and the AND1 Mixtape  Tour, motorsports events, comedy events, rodeo events, family shows, and more. Fritz  has promoted shows in Kansas City since 1972 (Enigma Presentations, Chris Fritz  Presents) and at Azura Amphitheater since its inception in 1984. The venue was  the vision of Kansas Citian Gus Fasone, who initially worked with promoters Concerts  West and Michael Cole. Then Feyline Presents, based out of Denver, spent a few  seasons booking the venue. As a note of interest, legendary promoter Barry Fey was  also the driving creative force behind the world-renowned Red Rocks  Amphitheater. </p>
540      <p class="text-white">Then Fritz's company, New West Presentations, partnered with Contemporary Productions and  spearheaded a new concert-going era in KC with the revitalization of the amphitheater  (formerly Sandstone Amphitheater) and relau
540nched the renovated facility in  1993. New West Presentations then took over the venue's management in 2008.</p>
541      <p class="text-white">&quot;We are thrilled to  commemorate our 40th concert season at Azura Amphitheater, notes New West  Presentations President Chris Fritz. "This milestone is a testament to our  community's enduring passion for live music. We owe our success to the  incredible artists, dedicated staff, and, most importantly, the loyal fans who  have made Azura Amphitheater an integral part of their lives. Here's to many  more years of unforgettable performances and shared musical moments.&quot;</p>
542      <p class="text-white">Mammoth, an  independently owned entertainment company established in 2006, partnered with  New West Presentations and has been promoting concerts at the venue since 2008. The company is co-owned by Jeff Fortier (former founder of Renegade and Avalanche  Productions)&nbsp;and Josh Hunt (Hunt  Industries), who together have over 65 years of combined music industry  experience. Mammoth has deep-rooted ties to the local music community. Fortier is the President of Mammoth, Inc. His first  involvement in the business side of the music industry was with The Outhouse in  Lawrence, KS, where he managed operations from 1989 to 1993. Hunt, CEO of Mammoth, began his music career with Avalanche  Productions, worked for House of Blues Club Network from 2000 - 2001, House of  Blues Concerts from 2001 - 2003, and started Hunt Industries in 2003, which  continued until 2006 when Hunt and Fortier officially joined forces starting  Mammoth. The  company has home offices in Lawrence, KS and Kansas City, MO.</p>
543      <p class="text-white">Between Fritz, Fortier, and  Hunt, the independent promoters have 100+ years of industry experience, which  you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the US. </p>
544      <p class="text-white">Owners Josh Hunt and Jeff Fortier have a soft spot  for Azura Amphitheater.</p>
545      <p class="text-white">"I cut my teeth on promoting shows in Lawrence  and Kansas City, and Azura Amp has always been one of my favorites; I love  outdoor shows," enthuses Fortier. "Mammoth and New West's  partnership and mainstay as local independent  promoters and venue for decades is something I am very proud of, and the future  is bright!"</p>
546      <p class="text-white">"It feels good when we can support and partner  with other locally-owned or operated venues and promoters," adds Hunt. "We like  to keep that spirit thriving."</p>
547      <p class="text-white">As Azura Amphitheater embarks on  its 40th concert season, it invites music lovers to join the celebration and  experience the magic that has made it a standout destination in the Kansas City  music scene.
