The Ultimate Guide to Summer Concerts in Sacramento
Seeing your favorite band is a treat any time of year, but in the summer, it’s even more spectacular. Summer concerts have a carefree vibe, especially those held outdoors. There’s nothing better than watching the sun go down while listening to your favorite music with a crowd of like-minded fans.
Sacramento has its share of free outdoor concerts, music festivals, and shows at smaller live music venues. But sometimes, you want to go big! Seeing a big-name performer in a large-scale venue is an entirely different experience!
Luckily, the greater Sacramento area has its share of large (5,000+ capacity) and mid-size (1,000+ capacity) live music venues. And with the opening of the new Channel 24 venue in Midtown Sacramento this year, live music is sure to be at the top of everyone’s to-do list! The following are the large to midsize live music venues in the Sacramento region:
