Some outdoor venues shade up early and some stay bright well into the show. Lonestar Amphitheater in Lubbock, Texas leans toward the brighter end, and it is worth knowing that going in. Across a full event the shade averages about 63 percent, lower than most amphitheaters this size, and in the stretch after 6:00 PM it is closer to 38 percent. Plan your seat and your sun gear accordingly.
A 7:00 PM start on the West Texas plains still has real sun to deal with. In high summer the sun sits about 21 degrees up at showtime, off to the west-northwest, and it does not set until roughly 8:58 PM. That is a late sunset and a fairly high early-evening sun, which is why Lonestar Amphitheater holds more light than venues farther east or north.
The pit is your best bet. Pit 2 and Pit 3 read about 81 percent shaded, with Pit 1 near 70 percent. Just behind them, lower pavilion sections 104, 105, and 106 come in around 69 percent. If sitting out of the sun matters to you, those are the seats to target at this Lubbock amphitheater.
The lawn is the open trade. Lawn 1 through 4 all sit near 50 percent shade, meaning open sky for a good part of the show. That is fine once the sun drops, but bright early, so bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen and expect to use them before the sky helps out.
Late-summer and fall shows run gentler as the sun sinks sooner and lower. For your exact date and section at Lonestar Amphitheater, the interactive shade map shows how the shadows move hour by hour so you can pick your seat with eyes open.
