Grand Rapids, get your calendars ready. The 2026 concert season is already taking shape with eight major shows headed our way. The first name on the marquee is one we know well: Brian Vander Ark, the GR native and frontman of The Verve Pipe, will officially open the series—a fitting local kickoff.
Then on June 14, classic rock icons Journey will take the stage. That’s the kind of summer night that sells out fast. While those two acts are confirmed, the full list of eight hasn’t been revealed yet, so expect more big names to drop as we get closer.
