The Garden State is the place to be this summer (and fall).
From June to October, Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center hosts several legendary icons and up-and-coming acts in their open-air venue that can accommodate up to 17,500 guests.
Best of all, they have a little something for fans of all kinds.
Artists on this year’s calendar run the gamut of classic rock, Hip-Hop, heavy metal, EDM, country, folk, pop, R&B and more.
Just a few of the most notable names heading to Holmdel over the next few months include party starters Pitbull and Lil Jon (September 3), soft rockers Jack Johnson and Hermanos Gutierrez (June 21), Americana hitmaker Riley Green (June 18), controversial singer-songwriter Jason Aldean (July 19 and Akon heroes) (July 19-Akon). And the hero of July 19.
They’ll be joined by biggies like Weird Al (July 12), Sammy Hagar (June 22), Tim McGraw (July 10), John Mellencamp (July 25) and Wu-Tang Clan and Bon Thugs-N-Harmony (Sept. 11).
That’s not to mention Santana and The Doobie Brothers (June 27), The Guess Who and Don Felder of the Eagles (July 5), The Train and the Barenaked Ladies (July 24), Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner (July 26) and Mötley Crüe and Tesla (July 31).
And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that TLC will be stopping by with special guests Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue on Saturday, September 12.
In total, there are 38 (!) shows left on the 2026 schedule.
If you want to see any of these artists live, tickets are available for all upcoming concerts at the PNC Bank Arts Center.
At press time, the lowest price we could find for tickets to any show was $30 including fees on SeatGeek.

We’ll see each other on the lawn.
