2023 Outdoor Music Guide: These Grammy-winning artists hit Triangle venues this summer
You can get your outdoor music fix at Triangle-area venues all summer long.
Between Red Hat, Koka Booth, Walnut Creek and other venues (we’re even including Greensboro), there are outdoor concerts nearly every day all summer.
Most, if not all, of the concerts on this list require attendees to buy tickets in advance, so check websites or call ticket lines (we’ve included all that information below) to learn prices and complete purchases.
We’ll update this list as venues announce more acts, but if you see something we missed that you think we should include, let us know by emailing ask@newsobserver.com.
Important: In all cases, please check the website for each event or venue prior to heading out to verify hours of operation (which can change) and to learn more about rain dates and COVID safety guidelines.
