Apr 2025

When guests arrive at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena, they’re not just showing up for a concert. They’re entering 1,200 acres of Ozark wilderness, where music is part of the landscape.
Located near Table Rock Lake, the open-air arena blends into its surroundings. Tiered seating follows the land’s natural slope. Limestone ridges stretch into the distance. And the 12-story Veteran’s Tower rises above it all.

“We provide an elevated experience beyond anything you’ll find at any other outdoor arena,” explains Matthew Pearl, Premium Sales & Experience Manager. “We believe in unreasonable hospitality—going beyond expectations and doing everything we can to ensure a seamless and memorable night for our guests.”
The venue, more than a decade in the making, is part of a not-for-profit conservation effort—an idea rooted in both preservation and celebration. Bass Pro Shops Founder Johnny Morris, who led the project, calls it a “gift to the people and heritage of the Ozarks.”
“We all love our beautiful Ozarks and feel deeply proud to be able to share the beauty of the place we are blessed to call home with others around the globe for generations to come,” Morris says.
From the moment you turn onto the forested drive to the final song of the night, the experience feels easy and relaxed—and the premium experiences elevate that even further.
Inside The Barn—a restored structure with retro charm—guests gather around wraparound decks and cocktail tables as the sun sets, while the Fireside Suite flickers with a warm fire pit and a private bar.
Just beyond, Ridgeview Loge Boxes offer a breezy, open-air place to sit back, sip something cold, and take in the show. The Founder’s Suites, tucked into quieter corners, provide a more secluded experience with in-suite catering, climate control, and dedicated service.
High above, the multi-level Veteran’s Tower offers expansive views and a striking silhouette on the skyline, with fireplaces and open decks designed for lingering. And at Sunset Ridge Lounge, terrace tables provide a quieter vantage point, elevated above the crowd, where a full meal is served before the show.
“The Premium Program was built for a little bit of everything: treating someone special to an unforgettable night out, mixing and mingling with business partners and contacts, or dancing the night away with friends,” Pearl explains. “There isn’t a set mold. It was created for people who love music, great hospitality and being surrounded by nature.”

Whether it’s an intimate dinner and show, a large-scale corporate event, or a night out with friends, Thunder Ridge Nature Arena’s Premium Program offers a welcoming space where guests can simply enjoy the evening together.
As the show begins, guests settle in and take in both the performance and the surroundings without distraction. The Thunder Ridge Pit Pass, which includes front-row access and lounge benefits, places fans right in the middle of it all—close to the music, but never far from comfort.
“It’s not just about selling a ticket—it’s about creating moments people will remember,” Pearl says. “And we want people to come back year after year because they remember how it felt.”
