A guide to Indy 500 concerts in 2025: Carb Day, Legends Day and the Snake Pit
While Indianapolis 500 drivers sharpen their focus leading up to Sunday's race, a bevy of fans will turn their energy toward three days of parties. Providing the soundtrack to the celebrations will be dance, country and rock artists. Starting Friday, the shenanigans will unfold at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and downtown, with the biggest concert — the Snake Pit — taking place at the track May 25 during the 109th Indy 500.
