With the COVID-19 pandemic waning — again — concert venues are banking on a busy summer concert season.

Live Nation is selling a Lawn Pass for $199 for access to all concerts at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh.

The Lawn Pass is good for almost every concert but special events, festivals and shows when the lawn is closed. It includes general admission parking and “fast lane” entry.

The summer schedule in Raleigh so far includes summer concert staples like Luke Bryan and Dave Matthews Band but also Jimmy Buffett, Phish and The Chicks — bands who have not played at Walnut Creek in several years.

The Chicks last performed in Raleigh in August 2016, then as The Dixie Chicks, and have since changed their name and recorded the acclaimed 2020 album, “Gaslighter.”

Buffett last played in Raleigh in 2016 and was scheduled to perform in Raleigh in April 2020, and then in April 2021, with both dates shelved due to the pandemic.

Phish last played in Raleigh in 2018.
