The St. Augustine Amphitheatre was originally built in 1965 to commemorate St. Augustine's 400th anniversary. In 2002, it was acquired by St. Johns County and underwent an extensive renovation, which included the addition of a canopy over the main stage and seating areas to provide protection from rain. In 2019, the venue took on its new name, The Amp, along with the motto "Big Acts, Small Venue," which reflects the community's love for the intimate and unique concert experience that The Amp provides.

Owned and operated by the St. Johns County Cultural Events Division, The Amp is an important cultural and entertainment destination in St. Augustine.
