Allegheny County is thrilled to announce the 2025 Summer Concert Series lineup, featuring more than two dozen free performances across South Park and Hartwood Acres amphitheaters. With chart-topping headliners, homegrown talent, and returning cultural staples, this season promises music for every taste.
“This summer, we’re bringing world-class music to our county parks for everyone to enjoy - for free,” said County Executive Sara Innamorato. “Whether you’re dancing to funk legends, discovering your new favorite singer-songwriter, or enjoying a glass of local wine under the stars, these concerts celebrate the joy of coming together as a community.”
