The Dome rises on the Virginia Beach oceanfront like a cresting wave, its fluid architecture echoing the rhythm of the Atlantic. Organic curves, open-air pathways, and sweeping sightlines blur the boundary between structure and shoreline, creating a seamless flow from intimate interiors to the open expanse of the outdoors. Retractable walls invite the salt air inside, transforming the 3,500-capacity hall into a vast 5,000-capacity amphitheater bathed in natural light. Every vantage point offers a unique connection between music, audience, and environment. Current, a VIP sanctuary within the venue, provides refined spaces while framing views of the park and ocean. The Dome fuses organic form with state-of-the-art acoustics, honoring a storied past while shaping a visionary future where sound, space, and the ocean move as one.
