The Pavilion at Star Lake History

Located just 25 miles west of Pittsburgh, the venue first opened its doors in 1990. The original venue name was Coca-Cola Star Lake Amphitheater. Billy Joel was the venue’s first national performer, and his performance generated such a tremendous response that a second date was added.

The venue would be renamed several times over. It was first renamed to Post-Gazette Pavilion and then renamed in 2010 to the First Niagara Pavilion. In 2016 it was then again renamed to the KeyBank Pavilion then in 2020 renamed to S&T Bank Music Park.
