Pittsburgh Concerts 2021: A Strong Lineup Of Possible Shows

PITTSBURGH, PA — First, the bad news. The Rolling Stones have yet to reschedule their 2020 tour that included a stop in Pittsburgh but had to be postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak. Whether they will is uncertain.

Now the good news: Many musical acts that postponed shows here last year during the pandemic have booked 2021 dates here. But whether these concerts actually occur largely will be dependent on how successful the coronavirus vaccination effort launched nationwide last month will be in the coming months.

No performances are scheduled here until June, but even that might be a bit premature to expect large gatherings that would fill the region's largest venues. So while this effort might require keeping one's fingers crossed, here is the current Pittsburgh-area concert schedule for 2021:
