Starting Sept. 4, the Arboretum will host weekly concerts on the Martin Rutchik Concert Stage and Lawn. Composed of ten separate performances, the series will run through early November, when a customary Emerald City Band show will bring the fall season to a close.
Nine of the concerts feature tribute acts paying homage to everything from the Backstreet Boys to ABBA. A performance by The Formation Beyonce Experience — perhaps playing on the popularity of Beyonce’s 2024 album, Cowboy Carter — will kick off the season at 7 p.m. on September 4. Individual performance pricing varies, with the cost of premium show tickets (Dancing Dream ABBA, Greggie and the Jets, ECB and RED- A Taylor Swift Tribute) raised by $5.
Attendees can bring food and drink from home in their own cooler, although those bringing in alcoholic beverages will be charged a $5 corkage fee per party. There will also be food available for pre-order and drink stands set up around the venue.
The fall concert lineup is as follows:
- The Formation Beyonce Experience Sept. 4th
- Garth LIVE!- Tribute to Garth Brooks Sept. 11th
- Absolute Queen Sept. 18th
- Homegrown: The Zac Brown Band Tribute Experience Sept. 25th
