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.
