Nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, Pepperdine University's campus transforms into a premier live music and event destination with its diverse array of venues. The standout 348-seat Outdoor Amphitheatre offers an open-air stage with breathtaking ocean views, ideal for concerts under the stars, while the 448-seat Smothers Theatre, completed in 1980, delivers superior sightlines and acoustics for music, dance, and theater performances. Intimate spaces like the 118-seat Raitt Recital Hall and 180-seat Stauffer Chapel, featuring white ash pews, a three-manual Rogers organ, and a stunning tree-of-life stained glass window, host chamber concerts and vocal ensembles in acoustically redesigned splendor. The Firestone Fieldhouse, a multi-purpose gymnasium with a listed capacity of 3,104 that swells to nearly 5,000 for concerts and lectures, pulses with energy during high-attendance events, its hilltop perch overlooking Alumni Park's grassy ocean vistas. Known for hosting international touring artists, student productions, and over 250 public events annually through the Center for the Arts, Pepperdine blends athletic heritage with cultural programming. State-of-the-art sound systems, onsite tech support, and scenic coastal atmosphere set these spaces apart, creating unforgettable experiences amid Malibu's tranquil yet vibrant neighborhood.
