Woodstock Unveils 2018 Summer Concert Series Lineup

WOODSTOCK, GA — The city of Woodstock has released the lineup for its 21st annual Summer Concert Series, which will feature a well-known band and some returning favorites. This year's installment, presented by Carriage Kia of Woodstock, will kick off Saturday, May 12 with the Swingin' Medallions.

This band, according to the city, is sure to be a "crowd pleaser" with its four-piece horn section and high energy party style stage performance. On June 9, the city will welcome Love and Theft to the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater stage. This country music duo will entertain a crowd with hits like "Angel Eyes," "Runaway" and "If You Ever Get Lonely."

On Saturday, July 14, Departure: The Journey Tribute Band will headline the show. Departure replicates the look, sound and feel of the 80’s iconic group. Hailing from Atlanta, Departure has taken to downtown's Madlife Stage many times, which has allowed the band to develop a large following in Woodstock.

Everclear will take to the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater stage on Saturday, Aug. 11. The popular 90’s alternative rock band will take you back with their hits like "Father of Mine" and "Santa Monica," and is sure to be a favorite in this year’s lineup.

The closing show of the 21st annual Woodstock Summer Concert series will be announced on June 2 due to prior contractual obligations on the part of the band. Be sure to mark your calendars for Sept. 8 when this Southern rock band will provide us with a performance you don’t want to miss.

“This summer concert series lineup offers something for everyone," said Woodstock City Manager Jeff Moon. “We believe concert goers will enjoy the variety we have to offer this year."

All concerts, which are free and will begin at 7:30 p.m., will be held at the Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater at the Park at City Center. Similar to last year, city officials are currently working to finalize plans to utilize a shuttle for off-site parking. More information on parking shuttle plans will be released in the future.
