Summer is coming to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, and with it, a season of live music that promises to electrify. The 2026 Fifth Third Bank Summer Concerts at Meijer Gardens series will feature 34 shows between Wednesday, May 27, and Wednesday, Sept. 16, including 13 acts making their Gardens debut, four exciting new artist pairings, and eight performers returning after more than 20 years.
Since 2003, the Gardens have brought internationally renowned artists to West Michigan, and this year’s lineup reflects that tradition. The 1,900-seat Frederik Meijer Gardens Amphitheater offers tiered lawn seating, free on-site parking, and full-service concessions. Guests are welcome to bring a blanket or a low-rise chair* and even a picnic, all while enjoying views of the Gardens and Sculpture Park.
“From the lush, manicured lawn seating to the ivy-covered stage, the Frederik Meijer Gardens Amphitheater offers a uniquely beautiful and intimate setting to experience live music, surrounded by world class art and nature,” said Carol Kendra, chief operating officer of Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. “With free, on-site parking and a variety of unique concessions hand crafted by our award-winning culinary team, each concert is a relaxed, memorable experience. We are delighted to present this year’s lineup and look forward to another unforgettable summer of live music at Meijer Gardens.”
