Restaurant Bar Mexican restaurant Live music venue Beer garden

👍👍 A magnificent concert venue of downtown Wichita, at 2nd and Santa Fe. WAVE has the perfect setup for outdoor shows and events when the weather is on the city’s side. There’s tons of space to chill or wonder around and enjoy the show for general admission concert goers, and also has an inviting horse... People often mention great, venue,

    I saw Machine Head here last night with a friend. The staff were nice to us, Security was a little less nice, but they were just doing their job. Lots of great drink choices, ranging from local/microbrew options to a nice variety of whiskeys. Didn't use the restrooms, so I don't have anything to report on that subject. Stage sound was good, everything was just fine. It was a great venue to see a show. Would definetly come back for the right bands! 10 out of 10 would recommend. 3 out of 5 stars. Wouldn't change a thing! #HailNimrod

    A magnificent concert venue of downtown Wichita, at 2nd and Santa Fe. WAVE has the perfect setup for outdoor shows and events when the weather is on the city’s side. There’s tons of space to chill or wonder around and enjoy the show for general admission concert goers, and also has an inviting horseshoe upper level patio surrounding the far outside of the stage for special seating tickets. The stage is impressive in size, and looks and sounds fantastic about anywhere you go. My last experience was for Dropkick Murphys with The Interrupters and Jesse Ahern. Such an amazing show on the type of mesmerizing night of weather, vibe, and music that makes this place so special. I recommend that everyone go catch a show here whenever possible.

    WAVE is such a cool outdoor venue! Some friends gave us VIP tickets and we're so glad we went. The music, drinks, and atmosphere made for a great evening out. We will most definitely be back!

    The outside venue was great. Sound was great. Plus the bartender locations was everywhere. This was my first time here and I've found my new venue.

    Amazing venue! Very cool set up, drinks/food are a little pricey (10$ for 2 waters) but my husband and I went to see The Used on 9.7.21 and even though it was a 5.5 hr trip from home, it was 100% worth it!

    Ease of access from downtown eateries and pubs. Good views of the stage. Rated 4 of 5 stars because the venue says they are ADA accessible ♿, but the gravel surface is not friendly to wheelchairs, and the latrine set-up of port-a-potties is not ADA friendly. There could be other restrooms on site, but I could not get around due to the uneven gravel

    Wave is such a cool venue. Great experience for inside and outside shows. Plenty of places to sit even when purchasing a GA ticket. Fair prices on drinks. I love the artist lineup. Eclectic and inclusive of all audiences. My group just saw Mac Sabbath on 10/6/22

    I've attended many events at The Wave and they are always great experiences. The staff is very friendly and the place is well organized. The talent they draw to perform and their openness to participate in their Community by hosting and in some cases sponsoring events in the public interest is phenomenal. Highly recommend The Wave.

    Went to the 2022 R&B Midwest Fest here in April. It was cold out and the performers didn't expect to be outside, but they put on a dang good show. I'm happy I went!

    I have only been to Wave once for Jelly Roll's concert. We had a great time, yes there was lines for everything but it didn't take too long to wait for the lines to move then whatever you was buying you got fast. I really liked that it's a outdoor place so you can be in the large crowd up front or you can stand off in the back away from all the people.

    First time going to this venue. The overall experience was good. The staff was great.

    One of my favorite venues! There isn't a bad view anywhere, unless you decide to stand behind a free. But why would you do that?

  • 5/5 Josh W. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent concerts at this place! We saw Corb Lund and Sound and Lighting were absolutely perfect. Very well laid out for both indoor and outdoor experiences. Staff was extremely helpful and very courteous and professional. Food was great! And all the prices were very reasonable. Tickets were great and food prices were great. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.

    Great place! My husband and I went to see the Perice the Veil concert. We are not from the area. They made it pretty easy, and staff seemed to have a great/excited attitudes. The only thing I would say that might have been better is a clarification on lines when waiting. It was a very memorable experience. There was a train that came by as they were about to start pretty awesome!

    I enjoyed the venue, weather was nearly perfect during my visit. Passing trains were an annoyance once or twice early in the evening, not a deal breaker though. Drink pricing is what I expected and service was excellent at all of the stations I stopped at.
