Allegheny County announced the 2025 Summer Concert Series lineup, featuring more than two dozen free performances across South Park and Hartwood Acres amphitheaters. With chart-topping headliners, homegrown talent, and returning cultural staples, this season promises music for every taste.
“This summer, we’re bringing world-class music to our county parks for everyone to enjoy – for free,” said County Executive Sara Innamorato. “Whether you’re dancing to funk legends, discovering your new favorite singer-songwriter, or enjoying a glass of local wine under the stars, these concerts celebrate the joy of coming together as a community.”
Returning cultural mainstays include the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (South Park on 7/5 and Hartwood on 7/6), Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (8/24 at Hartwood), and the Pittsburgh Opera (South Park on 5/30.)
Concertgoers can enjoy offerings from local food trucks, Hop Farm Brewing Company, and Black Dog Wine Company at every performance.
