Woodstock 69 Tribute (Matinee)

A group of session musicians works through the 1969 festival’s actual set list — The Who, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin — across two shows the same day. This is the earlier one. The theatre scheduled two performances because it expects to sell out, and the 5 p.m. slot is the one to book if you want a seat without planning three weeks out; evening shows on a Saturday tend to go first.

When: Saturday, August 15, 2026, 5 p.m. matinee. Doors 45 minutes before.
Where: Richey Suncoast Theatre, 6237 Grand Blvd, New Port Richey, FL 34652
Cost: $31–$42 general admission, VIP box (4 seats) $177, plus tax and fees

The VIP box works out to about $44 a seat once you split it across four people — only worth it if you specifically want the box (front-of-room, self-contained) rather than four general admission tickets at the low end of the range.

Parking

No dedicated theatre lot, but three free options sit within walking distance: the New Port Richey Parking Structure at 6218 US-19 (open 24 hours, EV charging, its own downtown trolley), the Thomas Meighan lot on Nebraska Ave, and the Gloria Swanson lot on Bank St. A Saturday matinee with two shows selling means downtown traffic builds through the afternoon — arrive with real time to spare rather than assuming Grand Blvd itself will have a spot.

One thing to know before you go

This is a small, community-run house — not an arena tribute show. Expect an intimate room where the band can see the crowd, which changes the energy of a festival-era set list in a way a bigger venue can’t replicate. Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 5 p.m., plus 45 minutes before showtime; call (727) 842-6777 outside that window.

There’s a second Woodstock 69 performance the same evening at 8 p.m. if the matinee sells out before you book — and the rest of Richey Suncoast’s August lineup is here.
