The venue is located in Kapiolani Park in Waikiki, between the dense high-rises of the neighborhood and the dormant tuff cone volcano, Diamond Head.

In 2018 the venue was renamed "The Tom Moffatt Waikiki Shell", in memory of Hawaii's first rock DJ, later a concert promoter. Moffatt died in 2016.[4]
