As the calendar flips from May to June, Hoosiers shift their states of mind from getting ready for race day to enjoying that upcoming summer vacay.
Why it matters: Some of the biggest names in music are hitting the road as well, and plenty of them are making stops in the Circle City.
Reality check: This (not exhaustive) list is littered with mainstream stars who often charge a pretty penny for the cost of entry, and not every Hoosier has that kind of disposable income right now.
Yes, but: Amazing local acts are also putting on dozens of free, outdoor shows.
- Plus, major Indy festivals like Chreece on Aug. 23 will pack a huge lineup of local and international acts into a single event.
- We'll be back to round those events up soon.
Pro tip: Act fast to snag $30 tickets to a lot of these shows via Live Nation's new summer concert promotion, which has discounts to roughly 1,000 concerts while supplies last.
Here are 40 concerts in Indy to check out this summer, along with a Spotify playlist featuring tracks from the headlining artists.
