Live Nation is kicking off the 2026 concert season with a massive ticket promotion designed to get more fans into venues this summer. Dubbed Summer of Live, the initiative offers $30 all-in tickets to more than 4,000 shows across the U.S. and Canada, spanning genres from rock and hip hop to country, pop, and beyond.
The limited-time offer runs from April 29 through May 5, with early access opportunities rolling out in the days leading up to the general onsale. Fans can browse participating events and unlock tickets directly through Live Nation’s official Summer of Live hub.
The promotion includes a wide range of major tours and legacy acts, with rock and alternative highlights featuring artists like Avenged Sevenfold, Good Charlotte, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, and Guns N’ Roses. Other notable names across the lineup include Kid Cudi, Kesha, Luke Bryan, and The Fray, reflecting the scale and diversity of the program.
For fans in the reggae and alternative space, the inclusion of tours like 311 and Dirty Heads adds another layer of relevance, especially heading into a packed summer festival and touring season.
