Germania Insurance Amphitheater is an outdoor venue, located in Austin, Texas and is part of the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) racetrack. It opened at the end of 2012 and was previously called under names "Tower Amphitheater" and "Austin360 Amphitheater". It has a capacity of 14,000 with 6,700 fixed seats, 2,300 (standing) / 1,700 (seated)-capacity floorspace infront of the stage and the rest being general admission spots on the lawn.

The venue was designed by Miró Rivera Architects. The first event held at the amphitheater were the 2012 U.S. F1 Grand Prix concerts by American rock band Collective Soul and country artist Clay Walker. The first standalone concert was by country singer Kenny Chesney in 2013. Through the years, the venue paid host to artists such as Kiss, LCD Soundsystem, Slipknot, Odesza, Ghost, The Lumineers, Green Day, Jack White and more. A so-called "Super Stage" is also set up temporarily during events that exceed 14,000 capacity, primarily used during F1 Concerts, hosting concerts by acts such as Metallica, Taylor Swift, Elton John and more. In 2013, Pollstar awarded the venue with a Best New Major Concert award.

Muse performed at the amphitheatre two times, in 2017, as part of a co-headlining U.S. amphitheatre tour with 30 Seconds to Mars and in 2019, during the Simulation Theory World Tour, at the IndyCar Classic race. The band are set to return to the venue on August 15th, 2026, as part of The Wow! Signal North American Tour, supported by Portugal. The Man and The Temper Trap.
