Flagstaff sits high in the mountains of northern Arizona, and Pepsi Amphitheater takes full advantage of the early sunset that comes with the terrain. In high summer the sun drops here around 7:41 PM, earlier than any other venue in this group, so a 7 PM show catches it barely above the horizon, about 6 degrees up in the west-northwest. The result is one of the most shaded profiles we've modeled: roughly 92% across an event.
A whole band of the pavilion posts perfect numbers. The covered Pit 3 and sections 108 through 111, plus 209, all model out at 100% shaded through a show. Sit anywhere in that stretch at Pepsi Amphitheater and the sun is a non-issue from the moment you arrive.
Even the sunniest spots here are well covered by amphitheater standards. Sections 104 and 205 sit around 81% shaded, and the lawn, Lawn 3 and Lawn 4, lands near 75 to 80%. Those catch a bit of the low evening sun before it clears the ridge, but not for long given how early it sets.
The altitude cuts both ways: the high-country sun is strong when it's up, so sunscreen matters during the daylight wait even here, but Flagstaff evenings cool sharply after dark, so bring a real layer for the back half of a show. Overall the venue holds near 69% shade even counting from 6 PM. For your exact date and seat, the interactive shade map shows how the shade fills in.
