concerts

Ah, summer in Maine. That time of the year we get to swap the flannel for flip-flops and remember we actually like being outside. And what's better than soaking up live music under the open sky with a cold drink in hand?

The 2025 season is going to be something for everyone.

BankNH Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire has been adding shows for their Summer Season and you won't believe the line up.

I was going through my picture archives and it hit me that Spring 2010 was a happening season for the city of Portland. So many different types of acts came through our city to give us great shows and leave us with some great memories… and maybe some slight hearing loss.

A burst in temperatures and longer days are right around the corner reminding us that summer is on the way. It will soon be time for hiking, camping, beaches, and… outdoor concerts! Although they are still a few months away, the outdoor concert calendar for Maine is already heating up.

Only the second stop on their Brightside Tour, this band brought energy and musicianship to Bangor and brought it in spades.

Here we are in the dead of winter. For some folks that means it's time for hibernation. But not you Mainers! This is ADVENTURE TIME. We see you out there on the slopes and trails and in your ice shacks. January in Maine has also been a time to ROCK with lots of epic live shows.

They were slowly canceling shows all year, and now it's official - no more outdoor concerts at the Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row.

Well, that escalated quickly! The Classic Rock Concert Calendar is filling in quite nicely. We started with a few make-up dates from 2020 and now we have over 40 concerts that are happening in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. From major stadium shows to intimate club performances, there's something for everyone who loves Classic Rock.

We had a bunch of concert announcements this week in New England. You remember concerts...when we all get together and go crazy with our favorite musicians? Making incredible memories with friends and sometimes, complete strangers! Rescheduled shows and some new shows have been announced at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, The Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, Rock Row in Westbrook, and Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor. And today the Boston Red Sox announces their Summer Concert Series. All of these Fenway dates are make-up dates from 2020. I hope you held on to your tickets! All the shows are tentative based on how the pandemic goes. But the fact that we may actually see LIVE MUSIC this summer warms my heart.
