bandstand

Park concert platform

A bandstand is a raised platform or open-sided structure where musicians perform outdoors, typically found in parks or public squares.

The classic design features a roof supported by pillars, allowing sound to carry while sheltering performers from weather: The brass band played waltzes from the Victorian bandstand.
