Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner will transport eager concertgoers from all over the region to the new FivePoint Amphitheatre this weekend as the much-anticipated outdoor music venue makes its debut. Those traveling by train may receive a free companion ticket with the purchase of a regular adult fare ticket on trains to and from the Irvine Station. Upon arriving at the Irvine Station, those heading to the concert will have a short five-minute walk from the station to the front entrance of the amphitheater. All concerts are scheduled to attend by 11 p.m. Amtrak will offer special late-night northbound Pacific Surfliner service to L.A. and north O.C. after each concert. The special northbound return train (597) will depart Irvine promptly at 11:40 p.m. A southbound Pacific Surfliner train (796) will depart Irvine at 11:09 p.m. toward San Diego. Concert attendees can take any Pacific Surfliner train to the FivePoint Amphitheatre with service from San Diego, Oceanside, Anaheim, Los Angeles and intermediate stops.
