Concerts

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 …

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 Wat…

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&a…

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?

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 w…

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…

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…

Happy 74th birthday to Reginald Dwight, better known as Sir Elton John. Elton has sold over 300 MILLION albums and has been awarded 5 Grammys. He is one of the world's biggest superstars, so we should find ourselves lucky that the Rocketman has visited Maine six different times over the years f…

The Cumberland County Civic Center, now the Cross Insurance Arena has seen hundreds of concerts since its opening in 1977. Just about every great, major band in rock and roll has visited us in Portland at one time or another. We were looking at our Civic Center Bible the other day and we were amazed…

But back in the day, the Tree Cafe was a fantastic spot to see up-and-coming bands. It was a pretty cool setup with a lower section where you could be really close to the band, and an upper balcony where if you dangled over the railing after having a few pints, you could probably jump right on the s…
