Ty Myers plays Koka Booth Amphitheatre on Thursday, October 15, 2026, with Brent Cobb and Benny G opening. Doors are at 6:00 PM and the show starts at 7:30 PM. Two things make this stop unusual. Parking is free, and the town caps how loud the show is allowed to get.

Show Details

What makes the Cary show different
Ty Myers Cary NC is the easiest arrival on this stretch of the tour, and the most tightly controlled performance. Those two facts come from the same source. The Town of Cary owns this amphitheatre, so the town sets the rules.
That ownership pays off in the parking lot. Around 1,500 spaces are free, which is rare on a tour where Estero charges $30. It costs you at the stage, where the town holds the sound to a fixed ceiling and ends the night on a clock.
Free parking, and why the upgrade is usually a waste
The venue sells two upgrades. Premiere is $30 in advance, $35 on the day. Preferred is $25 in advance, $30 on the day. Both sit closer to a gate, and both are limited.
Local regulars are consistent about this. The free lot is roughly one lot further out, so the upgrade buys a few minutes of walking. The usual advice from people who go often is blunt: there is plenty of free parking, so don’t bother with the pay lot.
Watch a different trap instead. The venue’s own directions and parking page warns that nearby businesses charge $5 to $25, and says those fees are not endorsed by the venue or the town. One attendee parked across the street and reported it took a long time to get out. The venue lots are the faster exit as well as the cheaper one.
The sound cap is real, and worth knowing before you buy
Most venue pages never mention how loud a show can be. Here it is a published number. The town restricts audio to 95 dBA SPL, measured 100 feet from the stage, monitored live in five minute averages, with financial penalties if it is breached.
That figure is not a rumor. A Cary official gave WRAL the same 95 dB(A) measurement on the record after neighbors complained about a 2021 concert, some from three miles away.
What it means in practice comes from people who go often. The mix sounds good, but it does not hit as hard as other rooms. Crowd noise on the lawn is less covered by the music than you may be used to. There is also a curfew, which is why sets here finish earlier than elsewhere on the tour. The exact weeknight cutoff is not published, and sources disagree on the minute, so we are not printing a time. Plan for a firm ending.
The blanket rule that catches people out
This is a lawn venue where blankets are banned. So are towels and mats of any kind. The venue’s reason is the grass.
That single rule undoes a lot of older advice. Fan recommendations still circulating online tell you to bring a blanket and stake out a spot. It was once fine. It is not now.
Bring a chair instead, and check the type. No footrest, no canopy, no lounge, no tri-fold, no swinging chair. A standard camp chair passes. Take it out of the bag at the checkpoint, which is faster for everyone, since attendees note chairs are the main thing slowing the entry line.
If carrying a chair sounds like work, Guest Services rents beach chairs for $10 plus tax. Twenty percent of each rental goes to a Town of Cary scholarship fund.
Cashless with no safety net
Plenty of venues on this tour are cashless. This one states there are no ATMs on site at all, which removes the usual fallback. Cards and contactless both work everywhere, including Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay.
One pricing detail is easy to miss. Online purchases use all-in pricing, so the number you see already contains ticket fees. Buying in person at the box office instead adds a 3% processing fee plus tax.
Small details that improve the night
Three come from people who go regularly rather than from any official page.
Wear closed shoes. The grounds are pine straw, and sandals are a mistake. Skip the bathrooms in the covered area, where the line reportedly barely moves, and walk to the larger ones near the main entrance. And the back of the lawn collects chatter from the covered area, so move forward if you care about the music.
Two things the venue does supply: water fill stations in the Cobblestone Courtyard, and free bug spray at Guest Services, useful on 14 acres of pines beside a lake.
The bill changes here
Cary is where the support acts switch. The Florida run used Lanie Gardner and Benny G. From here it is Brent Cobb and Benny G, holding through Wilmington the next night and Port Wentworth on the Saturday.
Set times are not published ahead. With a curfew shortening the night, the useful anchor is doors at 6:00 PM and a 7:30 PM start.
