Concerts

Here we are in the dead of winter. For some folks that means it's time for hibernation. But not you Mainers! This is ADVENTURE TIME. We see you out there on the slopes and trails and in your ice shacks. January in Maine has also been a time to ROCK with lots of epic live shows.

They were slowly canceling shows all year, and now it's official - no more outdoor concerts at the Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row.

Have you been back to a concert yet? if feels (and sounds) amazing! Going back to a show to see one of your favorite bands makes you feel ALIVE again. Joyful again. And this damn delta variant of the 'Rona better not screw up our concerts...

The Rock is back! Lots of shows for you to hit this summer and fall all over New England. This week we added a Little Feat (yayyyyy!) show for November at the State Theatre and a second Genesis show at the TD Garden in December.

The Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row in Westbrook is unlikely to host any outdoor concerts this summer due to an ongoing noise dispute with neighbors

Well, that escalated quickly! The Classic Rock Concert Calendar is filling in quite nicely. We started with a few make-up dates from 2020 and now we have over 40 concerts that are happening in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. From major stadium shows to intimate club performances, there's something for everyone who loves Classic Rock.

How long has it been for you without seeing live music? We know the answer; TOO LONG. Here's the perfect "First Show After The Pandemic" for you. June 2, 2021: Royal Hammer at Urban Farm Fermentory, Portland. Outside, safe, reggae, drinks, food, and best of all--for charity.

Summer is here and live music is FINALLY back in Maine! We get rolling again with a unique concert series starting up next week that features great local talent, fantastic venues, and a great community cause.

Are you ready to rock with us again? Concerts are back, and you can believe with mask and social distancing rules being scaled back, that more shows are coming. We already have a long list-many of these shows that are rescheduled for 2020. But be ready, because we know a lot will be coming down the pike very soon. And of course, WBLM will have tickets, VIP experiences, and much more,

Concerts in New England are back! The schedule for this summer and fall is filling up quite nicely. We can't wait to get back to seeing shows with all of you. We've added two more shows for you-a reunited Genesis (Colins-Banks-Rutherford edition) and Pink Floyd's genius, Mr. Roger Waters.

You might not think of the Portland Expo as one of Portland's best concert spots. So you may be a bit surprised when you see who's on this list of Expo concerts; Queen, Bob Seger, INXS, The Clash, Snoop Dogg, The Beach Boys, and Jethro Tull have all played the Expo

Yahooo! Concerts (fingers crossed) are coming back! One of the biggest things we have missed is going to live shows and sharing an amazing live concert TOGETHER. One by one, shows are being annoucned and rescheduled from 2020. Here is what we have so far. From Fenway to New Hampshire, to Maine, it's going to be a busy summer.

We had a bunch of concert announcements this week in New England. You remember concerts...when we all get together and go crazy with our favorite musicians? Making incredible memories with friends and sometimes, complete strangers! Rescheduled shows and some new shows have been announced at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom, The Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, Rock Row in Westbrook, and Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor. And today the Boston Red Sox announces their Summer Concert Series. All of these Fenway dates are make-up dates from 2020. I hope you held on to your tickets! All the shows are tentative based on how the pandemic goes. But the fact that we may actually see LIVE MUSIC this summer warms my heart.

The now-defunct Scarborough Downs racetrack was known as one of the great harness racing tracks in America. But did you know that The Downs also hosted some pretty amazing concerts in its history? You might be surprised at who came to Scarborough! There are not a ton of shows (we count 6) but they were all high-caliber artists that ran the gamut of music genres. Country, Metal, Hip-Hop, The Downs saw it all!

Do you remember all the concerts that happened at The Ballpark in OOB? Between 1986 and 1997 there were 75 concerts. Big names too! AC/DC, Cher, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac, and many others. Even though the noise drove the town crazy, the shows at the Ballpark- called SEAPAC, and later the Maine Entertainment Center, were some of the biggest shows Maine has ever had. It's a big part of Maine's musical history. We've compiled a list of every show and we hope it brings back good musical memories for you!

The Portland Exposition Building, officially the James A. Banks Sr. Exposition Building, but known to most as "The Expo" opened in 1915. It's the second-oldest arena in continuous operation in the USA, which alone makes it pretty historic. We've all been to the Expo for a middle school track meet, car show, beer festival, or Red Claws game over the years, but the Expo has seen some pretty amazing events featuring historic figures.
