Woodstock Unveils 2018 Summer Concert Series Lineup

The 21st annual series will kick off Saturday, May 12 with the Swingin' Medallions.

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.
