The initiative aims to make concert-going more accessible, encouraging attendees to bring friends and discover new acts on the covered lawn and reserved seating areas.
What’s The Deal
Through Ticket to Summer, tickets priced at thirty dollars are available for a curated selection of shows from Memorial Day through Labor Day. This one-price offering covers a wide range of genres—think high-energy rock tours, hip-hop heavyweights, country hitmakers and more. Live Nation’s roster includes both legacy bands and up-and-comers, ensuring there’s something for every musical palate.

Fans can also sign up for Live Nation’s mailing list to receive early alerts and presale codes for unlocked dates before general on-sale.
Pnc Music Pavilion Lineup Highlights
While many shows roll out under this program, PNC Music Pavilion’s own Instagram handle (@pncmusicpav) has hinted at a few unmissable dates. In one recent post, the venue announced, “JUST ANNOUNCED! Falling In Reverse: God Is A Weapon Tour with Wage War, Tech N9ne & Sleep Theory at PNC Music Pavilion on Saturday 8/23! LN Presale | Thu/ 5/22 10 am | Code: FREESTYLE On Sale | Fri. 5/23 10 am | #PNCMusicPav.com” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ4NhtMzz8a/). Fans of post-hardcore and rap-metal won’t want to miss this eclectic night.
Another update teased fans with a nostalgic nod: “Buy the tickets now, request the PTO later. Your May concert lineup just dropped. ❤️🔥” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DIl8RL_saRg/). Early May offerings include alt-rock acts, headliners in country, and breakthrough Latin artists. Keep an eye on the pavilion’s feed for full set times, support acts and camera policies.
PNC Music Pavilion has historically hosted a wide range of events, from Grammy-winning pop stars to synth-driven electronic artists. With Ticket to Summer, you could catch emerging talent like indie folk bands at lawn price or step up to reserved seating for the big-stage dramatics of stadium-level productions.
Beyond the music itself, fans have praised the program on social media. Many highlight that at thirty dollars a ticket, weekend road trips from Columbia, Winston-Salem or Asheville suddenly make sense. Some concert-goers told local outlets they’re planning multi-show itineraries—bringing camping chairs, coolers and picnic blankets to enjoy back-to-back nights under the pavilion’s retractable roof.
Keep in mind that availability varies show by show, and popular nights may sell out fast. It pays to act quickly when your favorite artist joins the Ticket to Summer roster. Once your cart is checked out, you’ll receive e-tickets via email or the Live Nation app—print-at-home or scan straight from your phone at the gates.
With temperatures climbing, what better way to cap off workweek blues than with a thirty-dollar ticket that unlocks access to global superstars and regional standouts? Whether you’re chasing nostalgia with ’80s rock icons or discovering tomorrow’s pop phenoms, the Ticket to Summer program delivers blockbuster value.
Fans can pair their concert night with dining in Charlotte’s vibrant Plaza Midwood or South End neighborhoods, transforming one show into a full evening experience of food trucks, craft breweries and late-night rideshares.
As the days get longer, Live Nation’s Ticket to Summer might just be the best reason yet to make memories at PNC Music Pavilion. Whether you’re a devoted superfollower or simply searching for an affordable night out, that thirty-dollar promise opens the gates to some of 2024’s most talked-about concerts.
