In 2007, the Lawn at White River State Park added a VIP section, which included tiered and reserved seating for 200 spectators, and a new seasonal stage, which gave the venue a more permanent feel and provided signed artists with easier access for performances. With a seating capacity of about 6000 and popular artists such as The Fray, Alice Cooper, Allison Krauss & Union Station, Bob Dylan, and Incubus, the Lawn at White River State Park has become a hot spot of Indianapolis nightlife and a haven for Indianapolis music. In fact, attendance doubled during the 2007 season compared to the previous year.
