Update: The Dave Matthews Band concert at Riverbend Music Center has now been rescheduled from June 16 to Sept. 28.
We’ve had the “pause” button pressed on live music for the past year, but we are super stoked to finally press “play” once more. Concert announcements are starting to filter in and we are excited to let you know about all the artists making a stop here in Cincinnati.
As with everything pandemic-related, these dates could change. But if all goes according to plan, our summer will be slappin’.
