12 Concerts in the Area Coming Up!

As we get deeper into the summer, more awesome shows are coming to the area.  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.  Classic Rock more your thing?  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.  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.
