Announcing: SCS18 Lineup!
The WBRU Summer Concert Series, one of the premier music events in Providence, returns for its 2018 run on Labor Day weekend. We’re partnering with The Rosendale Group to present our FREE outdoor concert series in downtown Providence on Friday August 31, 6pm-12am; Saturday, Sept. 2, 4pm-12am; and Sunday, September 2, 2pm-10pm. All performances will take place on Union St. in the heart of downtown Providence.
Admission is free for everyone and the concerts will be held outdoors, block party style, on Union Street, with food and drink available for purchase.
This year’s Summer Concert Series is incredibly special. For the first time, the SCS lineup will include both alternative artists and hip hop and R&B artists. We’re excited to involve 360 in curating the lineup, expanding beyond our traditional headliners and highlighting up and coming artists across different genres.
See below for our first round of artist announcements, and check back here for real time updates.
Senior Discount
Senior Discount are a local artist who tap in the SoCal skate-punk vibes that go perfectly with the summer heat. They released a new album, The Best Revenge, just this year, and will bring a fun intensity to the SCS stage.
