With the summer concert season approaching, one of the biggest topics for area music fans is the recent opening of Rose Music Center at the Heights. The 4,200-seat covered outdoor amphitheater in Huber Heights is adding more than 25 live events to the concert schedule, including diverse offerings like Melissa Etheridge, Yes, Flo Rida, Primus and Wynton Marsalis with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
That’s only a small sampling of what’s coming up locally. Fraze Pavilion is once again booking a cross-section of talent like Willie Nelson and Old Crow Medicine Show, Harry Connick Jr. and “Weird Al” Yankovic, plus already sold-out concerts by Reba, Heart and the Marshall Tucker Band.
Outdoor festivals are a big attraction once again this year, with returning favorites like the 35th annual Country Concert at Hickory Hills Lake in Fort Loramie, the Miami Valley Music Fest at the Eagle’s Campgrounds in Troy and Bunbury Music Festival at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati. New additions this year include the Dayton Rock Festival at Dave Hall Plaza in Dayton and the Miami Valley Brewgrass Festival at Riverfront Park in Miamisburg.
If you’re in the mood for a musical road trip, there are some top names skipping Dayton but performing just a short car ride away. Some of the most anticipated out-of-town concerts include the Rolling Stones at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Dave Matthews Band at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati and John Mellencamp at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Whether you’re into rock, country, blues, jazz, bluegrass, rap or pop, you should be able to find plenty to suit your musical tastes this summer. Here’s a rundown of some of the biggest and best upcoming concerts in the region.
