Cleveland has always seen a steady stream of classic rock icons, alternative acts and country crooners stopping for summer shows.
But it’s been a bit since our summer schedule reflected the charts in such spectacular fashion — a season stuffed with Top 40 tours from Post Malone (June 2) to Taylor Swift (July 17) to Queen Bey (July 25).
Country diehards can check in with Jason Aldean (Aug. 23) or Shania Twain (June 16). Barry Gabel, senior vice president of marketing and sponsorship sales at Live Nation, has never seen anything to rival this summer’s busy schedule.
“We have 29 shows at Blossom, which is, in my memory, the most we’ve ever had there,” says Gabel.
Take July 25, when locals must choose between partying with Beyonce and Jay-Z at FirstEnergy Stadium, Jason Isbell at Jacobs Pavilion or Foo Fighters at Blossom Music Center.
“What makes this town an incredible city for live music is the diversity of our venues,” says Gabel. “We’ve always supported live music here.”
