Reston Concerts on the Town

04/21/2022

Update for Summer 2022:
This spring and summer, the Reston Town Center pavilion will undergo renovations and will be unavailable for events. So, unfortunately, that means we had to cancel the summer 2022 Reston Concerts on the Town series.

We did look for an alternate site in the vicinity but could not find an appropriate space with the amenities and resources we'd need.

While this is disappointing, there's a silver lining. The pavilion is going to be transformed into a more event-friendly space. It will be newly paved, with cool amphitheater-style seating by the fountain and other upgrades.

We look forward to bringing the Saturday night concerts back in 2023 in this refreshed space. In the meantime, be well, stay safe and rock on.

**Summer 2021 Update**
After careful deliberation, we’ve decided to cancel the entire summer series again this year. We know this is disappointing news, especially as more and more people are getting vaccinated and we’re starting to move closer to normal.

But the reality is we’re still in a transition. There are still uncertainties and there will be ongoing restrictions on larger events at least through the summer. We’re simply unable to safely hold events of this caliber at this time.

We had retained most of our stellar lineup going into 2021 and are working to move as many of those artists (including Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, Enter the Haggis, Plena Libre and Deanna Bogart) into summer 2022. We miss you all and look forward to safely and joyously rocking out together in 2022!

Summer 2020 update: To our music-loving fans and concert-goers, we have officially canceled the entire summer 2020 series. It was a tough call, but the safety of our bands, staff/crew, and audience are our top priority. Please stay safe out there, and know that we're already moving some of this year's intended lineup to 2021, when we hope to safely and joyously celebrate our 30th anniversary season. in the meantime, check out some free virtual concerts by some of our favorite bands, including Scythian, Brian Alex of Entrain, and Incendio. We can't wait to see you all next year!
