Summer concerts begin this weekend at Youngstown Amp
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – The stage is set downtown as the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre kicks off its 2025 concert series this weekend.
The series begins Thursday night as Riley Greene takes the stage and continues through the weekend with Rock the Rich Center on Saturday night.
'To start off opening weekend and our first major concert of the season with a sellout is always a great thing. I think it's a true testament to this Valley's love for live music,' said Jordan Ryan, Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre executive director.
This summer marks the first of the designated outdoor refreshment area (DORA) in downtown Youngstown. Organizers say they expect it to add to a sold-out concert experience.
'I think it's just going to create a great sense of community with all of these bars and restaurants down here. I think it's going to really help connect the amphitheater with the bars and restaurants on Federal Street,' Ryan said.
Concertgoers must discard alcohol prior to entering the amphitheater.
Event organizers also encourage music fans to arrive early before the show.

Saint Louis Zoo welcomes cheetah cub quintuplets
ST. LOUIS – The Saint Louis Zoo welcomed its newest animals last month. Five cheetah cubs were born on May 5 at the River's Edge Cheetah Breeding Center. The litter comes from the zoo's cheetahs Cora, 4, and Vader, 8. According to the Saint Louis Zoo, this is their first successful cheetah cub litter in seven years. They're nicknamed 'Cora's Quints.' Raising cheetah cubs is 'critical' in the first few months of their life, and they will stay out of the public eye for some time to bond with their mother. Care teams are monitoring each one via camera inside the den, but they say Cora has been an attentive mom. 'Each recommended cheetah birth is significant for the survival of this vulnerable species. Our dedicated Animal Care teams have been instrumental in these successful births from the pairing and introductions of Cora and Vader to the family's dietary needs, hormonal analysis for pregnancy monitoring, veterinary care, preparing a maternal den and so much more,' Julie Hartell-DeNardo, Kevin Beckmann Curator of Carnivores at Saint Louis Zoo, said in the release. Within the next few weeks, the cubs will receive their first vet checkup, which is where the doctors will learn the sex of each cub and name them. Cora and Vader, who arrived to the zoo last year, were paired together by recommendation from the AZA Cheetah Species Survival Plan. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
