It’s been a dreary spring.
Overcast skies, rainy weekends and days where temps dip below 60 degrees have dominated weather forecasters’ broadcasts the past few months.
Still, we’re holding out hope that things warm up the next couple weeks just in time for outdoor concert season. And that’s especially true this year since Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center has such an impressive slate of performers scheduled this spring, summer and early fall.
Just a few of the artists we’re most excited about on this year’s lineup include country favorite Luke Bryan (May 30), recent Rock Hall of Fame inductee Dave Matthews Band (June 3), New Jersey native/hitmaker Halsey (June 6), ’80s icons Simple Minds (June 11) and classic rock vets The Beach Boys (June 14).
Counting Crows (June 28), Thomas Rhett (July 10), Styx (July 20), Big Time Rush (July 22) and Nelly (July 26) are just a few of the other biggies scheduled to swoop into the Garden State these next few months.
Real talk though, we’re most excited to “Hold The Line” with Toto (July 25) and “Listen To The Music” The Doobie Brothers play (Aug. 7).
But wait! There’s more!
After crunching the numbers, our team found 31 (!) concerts scheduled from May through September at the PNC Bank Arts Center.
Better yet, some tickets are quite inexpensive.
Based on our findings, some lawn seats are going for as low as $35 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows on the calendar have tickets starting anywhere from $39 to $118 including fees.
Now that’s enough to brighten up a dreary spring.
