The venue opened as Coca-Cola Star Lake Amphitheatre and hosted its first national act, Billy Joel, on June 17, 1990. A second show was added on June 18, 1990 due to the record-breaking response. Since, it has hosted many other "big-name" concerts.

Janet Jackson was scheduled to perform during her Rhythm Nation World Tour on September 3, 1990, but the show was cancelled.

Grateful Dead played this venue twice (June 22 and 23, 1992).

INXS played their final concert with former lead vocalist Michael Hutchence on September 27, 1997, less than two months before his death.

Phish performed and recorded their show, on July 29, 2003, which was later released as a live album, entitled Live Phish 07.29.03. They subsequently performed a sold-out show on June 18, 2009 and again on June 23, 2012.

Kings of Leon were scheduled to perform during their Come Around Sundown World Tour on September 7, 2010, with The Whigs and The Black Keys as their opening acts, but the show was cancelled, due to scheduling conflicts.

Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band have performed at First Niagara Pavilion nearly every year since it opened in 1990. The only exception is when they played PNC Park in 2005.

The amphitheater has also played host to music festivals, including All That! Music and More Festival, Crüe Fest, Crüe Fest 2, Family Values Tour, Farm Aid, H.O.R.D.E. Festival, Honda Civic Tour, Identity Festival, Lilith Fair, Lollapalooza, Mayhem Festival, Ozzfest, Projekt Revolution, Uproar Festival and Vans Warped Tour.

The Post-Gazette announced, in February 2010, that it had not renewed its contract for naming rights to the facility, leading to First Niagara Bank to snatch up the naming rights. The facility was renamed again in 2016 after KeyCorp finished its acquisition of First Niagara.

The facility has lost some business since the opening of Stage AE, which is located within the city of Pittsburgh on the North Shore next to Heinz Field.
