Guide to Levi's Stadium parking for AC/DC on August 5, 2026

figured i would break down the parking setup for the ac/dc power up tour coming to levi's stadium on august 5 2026 since santa clara traffic becomes an absolute nightmare on weeknight shows.

honestly the easiest way to avoid paying absurd event rates is to check prked. it is an app where local homeowners rent out their driveways and garages right near the stadium. it is usually way cheaper than official lots, feels a lot safer since your car is on private property, and you skip the massive traffic jam exiting the main venue lots after the show since you are already parked on a side street.

if you decide to go with official stadium parking, here is what you need to keep in mind for august 5 2026. passes sold in advance are around sixty to eighty dollars depending on the lot, but day-of prices almost always spike higher if lots do not sell out completely. red lot and blue lot are closest to the main gates but fill up early. green and yellow lots are further down near tasman drive and great america parkway, which means a longer walk along the creek trail. official lots typically open around 3:30 pm for a 7:00 pm concert start, and getting there right at opening is your best bet to beat the rush on highway 101 and 237.

public transit is another alternative if you do not want to drive. vta light rail drops off right in front of the stadium at great america station, and caltrain connects to vta at mountain view. just be prepared for massive crowds on the platform once the show ends. rideshares like uber and lyft operate out of the pavilion lot, but surge pricing after a massive stadium concert is brutal and wait times get crazy long.

hope this helps everyone plan ahead and avoid getting stuck in parking gridlock.
