12 Concerts in the Area Coming Up!
As we get deeper into the summer, more awesome shows are coming to the area. Â The Jonas Brothers traveling circus invades Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena on the 25th (don’t even ask about tickets, it’s been sold out for a while I’m sure), while Dave Matthews Band comes to Blossom Music Center on the 29th. Â Classic Rock more your thing? Â House of Blues Cleveland has Pink Floyd tribute band Wish You Were Here playing Saturday night, and Lifestyles Community Pavilion has The Doobie Brothers (personal favorite) next Thursday. Â The Marietta connection of the day goes to the George Strait concert on the 25th, which has Julianne Hough (here, here, and here) as a supporting act.
As a side note, I added more concerts from House of Blues and Lifestyles Community Pavilion last night, so check out the Regional Concert Guide for concerts further out than what’s shown here.

Â Enjoy the list below, and look for House of Blues Cleveland to join the list of venues we track soon!

Concert Update and Ticket Deal
Well, AT&T finally got the internet working again, and I’m a bit behind on some things.
Like Live Nation making today a No-Fee sale day. Â $30 gets you a lawn seat, drink, and hot dog for any show this summer at Blossom Music Center, Nautica Pavilion, Time Warner Cable Amphitheater, and Post-Gazette Pavilion (Links will take you to the list of concerts without service fees at each venue). Â It’s not every concert, but it’s a nice selection of cheap seats and “free” food, which is about a $10-$12 savings in itself.
But here are all the concerts hitting the area in the next week. Â And always remember that if you want to see all of the area’s concerts on one page, head over to the Regional Concert Guide.
