Waikiki Shell

Waikiki Shell is a famous performance arts venue near Diamond Head in Honolulu Oahu, Hawaii. Waikiki Beach is just across the street from the shell. Outdoor concerts and other large events are held at the shell throughout the year. It has been used as a convention, meeting, and reception location.

The shell shape is slightly similar to an egg. It was set up to ensure great acoustics and with a backdrop that would be perfect for twilight concerts. There is permanent seating at the concert venue, as well as space for standing or additional seats should it be needed. There is also an orchestra pit, convenient work areas, a large stage, dressing rooms, and state of the art sound and lighting equipment.

The seating offers 1958 for stadium chairs and an additional 6,000 on lawns or at the front pool area. With a theater style there are 505 seats. For banquets it is possible for 320 tables.

The shows will vary from year to year based on current touring concerts and special events. Tickets can be purchased online at the Neal S Laisdell Center and Waikiki Shell website. Tickets can also be purchased at the local box office.
