Concerts

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…

We are having a blast bringing you amazing concerts from the legendary Blimp archives. So far we've rocked the Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Def Leppard. This Saturday night we have a rarity for you. AEROSMITH. Live in Brussels, Belgium on Halloween Night of 1993.

Yup, WBLM will be bringing you a different concert every Saturday night. The best concerts from around the world, incredible live albums, and historic Maine concert moments all form the legendary Blimp archives. And guess what, you've got a front-row seat to every show!

And this week we have a…

No concerts this fall? No problem! Hot on the heels of our epic Blimpstock broadcast, WBLM is kicking off our Saturday Night Concert Series this weekend. And we are starting the tour off with a bang. 7 pm this Saturday it's a huge concert on the radio with The Rolling Stones!

Our thoughts and thanks go out to all the bands and venues out there who have been forced to cancel or reschedule and sometimes both and more than once! Take, for example, Lez Zeppelin. Four amazing women who do the coolest Zeppelin tribute show around. Lez Zep was supposed to play the now-closed Po…

The popular concert venue Port City Music Hall announced it's permanent closure after a downturn in revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic

We know you were super busy on the 4th of July. So just in case you missed, it, we have the grand finale of a 24+ hour virtual concert that happened over the weekend. Dozens of Maine musicians, dancers, and comedians performed to an online audience of thousands to celebrate America’s birthday…

This "no concert thing" has been slowly weakening my soul and spirit. Will we get back to live music in the Fall? Please don't say next summer as I don't know if I can wait that long. And to what lengths will we go to see a live show? In Germany, this past weekend, DORO, who is k…

There's much more than just music in the WBLM A to Z archives. There is a whole plethora of amazing Maine rock and roll memorabilia. As we were digging through one of the largest collections of Classic Rock in the world doing A to Z, we came across these gems

It's time to get back to live music any way we can and the State Theatre in Portland is doing their part by presenting Conclave. Conclave is a series of concerts that will be held at a very empty State Theatre that will employ great sound and multi-camera visuals. This should be slick!

Sometimes when you go to a concert the opener and the headliner just don't make any sense being on the same bill together. Like Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees. Yup, that happened. We found this phone call montage from our "Best Of The Captain and Celeste" WBLM Morning Show Archi…

We miss concerts so much right now. I don't think I've EVER gone this long without seeing some sort of live performance. And while it's tough for us fans, it's even tougher for the bands and all of the fine people that make their living putting on shows. We found this fantastic v…

I don't know about you but I am really missing concerts. The whole thing. Getting tickets for them. Looking forward to them. Discussing with friends what should and should not be on the setlist. The Pregame. The $8 beers. The time of my life! And this was going to be an epic summer. From Bangor…

The idea of "drive-in" concerts came alive this past weekend in Denmark. The country, not the Maine town. But what IF drive-in concerts were held in Maine. Would you go? Bands use a sound system as well as putting the audio feed on the FM dial so you can blast it in your vehicle.

We have two more great shows that we've just added to the Blimp Concert Calendar. David Coverdale is still rocking after all these years and is coming to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom on August 24th. Tickets on sale 2/28 for that one!

The shows keep on coming! We announced Guns and Roses coming to Fenway in July (tickets on sale 2/7) and a few more shows coming to AURA in Portland. And don't forget we have tickets to see Aerosmith this September at Fenway on the WBLM App!
