The Jerudong Park Amphitheater is an amphitheater at Jerudong Park in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.

History[]

The amphitheater was built for a free Michael Jackson concert for the Sultan Of Brunei's 50th birthday in 1996.^[1]

The Theater[]

The theater is located in Jerudong Park's Garden, designed with only a roof and its capacity is over 60,000. The stage is removable and can be replaced with an other stage. When Michael Jackson performed at the theater, he replaced the built in stage with his own stage. For the Royal Concert, Jackson used the stage from the Dangerous World Tour. And during the HIStory World Tour, Jackson used the stage for the tour minus the cherry picker and a statue of Jackson.

Whitney Houston did not use an customized stage for her concert at the theater. It is unknown if Janet Jackson used her own stage for her concert. The theater is now used for wedding receptions, fundraiser events, and concerts.
