Live Nation has announced Summer of Live, which offers $30 tickets to many shows in select amphitheaters across the U.S. and Canada. (Last year the program was called Ticket to Summer.) The $30 tickets will be available from April 29 to May 5, 2026, at 10 a.m., but there are a couple ways to get early access: If you join All Access Early Access you can buy tickets form April 23 to 28, 2026. You can join for free here. T-Mobile Early Access starts April 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. The $30 includes all fees, but taxes will be added. Keep reading for a list of shows in the Triangle Alternately, please remember that there is live music in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding areas almost every day, in locally owned venues! These tend to be smaller and more intimate than the Live Nation venues, and the prices are often lower (even lower than the $30 Summer of Live tickets.) Give local music a try too!
