Waterfront Concerts in Maine Are BACK

What do you get when you mix excellent weather, one of the best venues in the country, and a trio of talented artists performing on stage on Memorial Day weekend?

The answer is the perfect kickoff to what's looking like to be another season of phenomenal shows on the Penobscot River. Waterfront Concerts are back at the new and improved Maine Savings Amphitheater.

George Birge and Corey Kent Got the Party Started at Maine Savings Amphitheater

Maine Savings Amphitheater security opened the doors at 5:58 pm and effectively and efficiently got the eager and excited crowd of concertgoers inside the venue in time to catch the beginning of George Birge's set.

The Texan -- most known for his hit "Mind on You" -- definitely left us with our minds on him. We were already anticipating Birge's return to the Bangor Waterfront after he closed with his latest single, "Cowboy Songs."

While George Birge took time to take photos with as many fans as possible including our very own Jordan Verge, Corey Kent hit the stage and continued the theme of the evening of bringing the Texas party to the great state of Maine.

Kent belted out hits like "Wild as Her" and "Something's Gonna Kill Me" while playing his new single, "This Heart" to all Mainers' delight. The energy in the venue was at peak levels as Kent made way for the first headliner of 2024 at Maine Savings Amphitheater, Parker McCollum.

The "Burn It Down" rising star burned it down in Bangor to officially launch the 2024 Waterfront Concerts. Burned it down metaphorically, of course, and thank goodness. Lots of work has been put into the Maine Savings Amphitheater and it SHOWS and SOUNDS. As someone who has been fortunate to see shows at venues all over the country, they do not get better than this one, designed by Bangor-based Ervin Architecture.

There was a vast selection of drinks and food options with the best beers being offered. We never waited longer than 5 minutes for food or drinks. At one point there was a long line for one of the women's restrooms, but it moved quickly. The staff at the amphitheater have clearly been prepped and trained to keep a crowd moving quickly and safely for everyone to enjoy their experience to the fullest.

Here are the shows coming up for this season's epic Waterfront Concert Series in the new and improved Maine Savings Amphitheater!
