PNC Music Pavilion Announces 35+ Upcoming Shows

PNC Music Pavilion has just teased its biggest season yet, sharing an Instagram post that reads: “And we are just getting started! Coming in hot with over 35 shows and more to be announced. 👀” The announcement signals a packed summer calendar at Pittsburgh’s premier outdoor concert venue, promising a diverse slate of artists across multiple genres.

Summer Lineup Highlights

While full details are still rolling out, fans can already mark their calendars for several standout dates. In an earlier Instagram announcement, the venue confirmed Falling In Reverse’s God Is A Weapon Tour, featuring support from Wage War, Tech N9ne and Sleep Theory, slated for Saturday, August 23. That post urged followers to take advantage of the Live Nation presale on Thursday, May 22 at 10 am using code “FREESTYLE,” with general tickets on sale Friday, May 23 at 10 am.

Country star Cody Johnson will saddle up for The Leather Tour on Friday, May 2, joined by Ashley McBryde and Walker Montgomery. And rock icon Billy Idol returns with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts for It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again, bringing its high-energy anthems tonight at PNC Music Pavilion. Fans of emo and post-hardcore are in luck, too: Pierce The Veil’s I Can’t Hear You Tour with Sleeping With Sirens & Daisy Grenade hit the stage on May 13, while Ivan Cornejo’s Mirada Tour drops in on May 11 – both events already announced via Instagram with bilingual updates and enthusiastic “Nos vemos pronto!” greetings.

Presales And Tickets

Live Nation’s ongoing $30 Ticket to Summer campaign extends a budget-friendly entry point to multiple shows, a deal promoted in a separate Instagram post encouraging groups of friends to snag seats without breaking the bank. For select headline dates, presales remain the best route: follow PNC Music Pavilion (@pncmusicpav) on Instagram, enable notifications, and look for time-sensitive codes like “FREESTYLE” to beat the crowds.

Standard tickets for most performances go on sale at 10 am Eastern on designated launch days. Venue updates often include reminders about camera policies (notably strict for Sessanta V 2.0’s Primus, Puscifer & A Perfect Circle date) and lawn-pass exclusions—details that ensure smooth entry but reward early planning.

Venue Setting And Experience

Located along Pittsburgh’s North Shore, PNC Music Pavilion seats over 4,300 under the pavilion roof and accommodates nearly 18,000 on the lawn, offering fans both covered seating and grassy views. Known for its clear sightlines and cutting-edge sound, the venue blends city skyline backdrops with open-air vibes. Each Instagram image highlights those elements: vibrant stage lights, packed crowds, and the iconic pavilion lettering illuminated against twilight skies.

From pop punk to classic rock, country to Latin rhythms, the spring and summer roster reflects PNC Music Pavilion’s commitment to musical variety. And with more than 35 shows announced already, it appears there’s something for every taste—and likely a few surprise additions still on the way.

Whether grabbing a $30 ticket with friends or redeeming a presale code for a bucket-list act, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to PNC Music Pavilion’s social channels. As the venue’s post concludes: “And we are just getting started!” Pittsburgh’s live-music season has officially kicked into high gear, and the only question left is which shows you’ll catch first.
