Party on the Plaza Summer Concerts Return to Pasadena Civic Auditorium Plaza

An emblematic ’80s band, a Led Zeppelin cover group and a tribute to U2 will help to cool Pasadena evenings this summer as the Party on the Plaza Summer Concert Series (http://www.thepasadenacivic.com) returns to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium Plaza for three separate events.

Complete with skinny ties, Brill Creamed hair, and horn-rimmed glasses, The Spazmatics (http://thespazmatics.com) bring the best and the worst of the 1980s to the Plaza on Friday, June 27. Known for their outstanding musicianship and creative flair and style, the rock of the 80s comes to life with an evening of pure energy and entertainment.

The chemistry and magic of legendary super group Led Zeppelin will be recreated by tribute band Led Zepplica – The Led Zeppelin Experience (http://led-zepplica.com) on Friday, July 18. Covering Zeppelin tunes since 1989, the hard-rocking performance will give fans a taste of one of the greatest and most iconic rock and blues bands ever.

On Friday, Aug. 1, L.A.vation: The World’s Greatest Tribute to U2 (http://www.u2lavation.com) will energize the Plaza with an unparalleled tribute to the band U2. Critics have claimed that the group is a “true U2 tribute band that accurately executes the music and the look of a real U2 concert.” L.A.vation derives its name from the song “Elevation,” from U2's 2000 album, “All That You Can't Leave Behind.”

All three shows begin at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets priced at $10 for general admission and $20 and  $30 for reserved table seats are available online at www.thepasadenacivic.com.

The Pasadena Civic Auditorium Plaza is located at 300 E. Green Street in Pasadena.
