Live Nation ends popular outdoor summer concert deal. What’s next for NC’s ‘Lawnies’?
Pack up the blankets and green rental chairs.
Live Nation has ended its popular summer concert lawn-pass program.
“We are working on new and exciting programs for summer concert season,” according to a statement from Live Nation. “While there will not be a Lawnie Pass program in 2025, previous Lawnies will be the first to hear about these new offerings. We are so grateful to our Lawnie community, and we can’t wait to share more with fans soon.”
Since 2019, the program let music fans buy a single ticket to attend multiple concerts at one of over two dozen outdoor venues.
Two North Carolina venues participated: Carolina Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh and PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte. Last year a $239 ticket in Raleigh gained entry to concerts by Hozier, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hank Williams Jr., among others.
Kerry Painter, general director who oversees the music park along with Red Hat Amphitheater, the Raleigh Convention Center and the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts, referred questions to Live Nation.
