First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre

First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre is an outdoor music venue, in Chicago's southwest suburb of Tinley Park, Illinois, that opened in 1990. It is one of the largest music venues in the Chicago area, with capacities of up to 28,000 spectators. The facility was formerly named Tweeter Center Chicago, World Music Theater and New World Music Theater. It is a venue pulling fans from the city of Chicago as well as surrounding suburbs, and even neighboring states. The theatre is one of only a few large outdoor amphitheatres in the Chicago area. Singer Cher was the very first entertainer to perform in the venue - it was barely completed then - with her Heart of Stone Tour.

First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. acquired the naming rights for seven years beginning in 2006.

The venue is owned by Live Nation.
