One of the oldest continuously-operating tent theaters-in-the-round in the US, along with our sister venue the South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset. A 2,300-seat summer, open-air theatre that hosts national artists and comedians on a revolving stage. No seat is more than 50 feet from the stage!

The Melody Tent is a Cape Cod landmark. Each summer the tent offers a variety of top name entertainment under the tent. The schedule for 2018 won't be released until spring but you can be assured it will include an assortment of summer stock entertainers. Shows that were announced for the 2017 season included the return of local favorites, An Evening with ABBA The Concert, The Temptations & The Four Tops, and the Cape Symphony. New shows in 2017 included Pink Martini at the South Shore Music Circus, and TajMo: The Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ Band which is new to both venues. More shows are being added all the time. Don’t wait to get your tickets. Spring and summer planning has begun for beach towns and you don’t want to miss out on your favorite acts. The show selections included Country genre, Jazz, Bonny Rait, and much more. If you plan to be on Cape in 2018 check out the Cape Cod Melody Tent web site for 2018 season events and order early. Great shows sell out fast!
