Your Pick For The Best Bangor Summer Concert Of 2023 Is…

There were hundreds of votes, but one show came out on top!

Once again this year, the Maine Savings Amphitheater upped their game, by not only bringing some of the biggest names in music to town, but also by doing a beautiful renovation of the facility. It doesn't even resemble what it looked like a year ago, a truly remarkable job was done by all involved. It has clearly become the go-to spot for shows on the east coast. Could you even imagine that being possible 15 years ago?

From country, to pop, and hard rock, the last few months have brought some amazing artists to the Bangor stage, so we thought it would be fun to get your opinion on which one was the best.

Mix Master Mike, Staind and Godsmack was the best show I've ever seen from start to finish in my life. All 3 were on fire and never lost the crowd. Not many shows you can say that about

My neck still hurts from Pantera/ Lamb of God. They absolutely killed it

I didn't even really know who Jelly was until the concert. I went for my Husband (and Elle King) Now I am a fan! And I adore his wife too

Brianne Britton
Jelly Roll I was in complete awe for weeks after the show! Hands down best performance! He’s an outstanding man & performer

Too hard to pick, as each one of the three were a different genre! They were all awesome in their own way

Looking forward to a great 2024! See you next spring.
