New Concert Announcements (for the week ending June 13th)

By Mike Stampalia On Jun 13, 2021

In the week’s biggest news, the newly-named-and-located Empire Live (formerly Upstate Concert Hall) continues aggressively booking excellent shows, beginning in August. The Linda’s “Open for Business” series is a powerhouse display of local talent. Troy Music Hall continues to fill out a fall lineup very much worth looking forward to. Frog Alley has both Air Supply and the Little River Band, if you’re feeling a little nostalgic. And a big shout out to Rare Form in Troy, who continues to kill it with their series on the patio.

Also, more announcements at SPAC, including quite possibly the most adventurous Live Nation booking I’ve seen in years there – King Crimson. I wouldn’t miss this one. Also JT with Jackson Browne, and “maybe-we’re-not-retired-after-all” Lynyrd Skynyrd headlines two openers that will both almost certainly outplay them.
