Live Nation is kicking off its “Summer of Live” concert series, offering $30 tickets to over 4,000 shows in the U.S. and Canada. The general sale begins on April 29 at 10 a.m. local time. Acts include Kesha, Kid Cudi, Paul Simon, Iron Maiden, Kali Uchis, Luke Bryan, and many others. You can check out more details here.

Shows run the gamut, genre-wise, from country and rock to hip-hop and R&B. Comedy is included, too, with acts including John Mulaney and “Weird Al” Yankovic. The $30 ticket price includes all service fees before sales tax, and Live Nation says the offer “includes a range of ticket/seat types across a variety of venues.” The offer ends on May 5, although inventory is limited.

There are also two ways to get early access. Live Nation’s All Access membership, which is free to join, unlocks early access through April 28. T-Mobile members can also get early access on April 28 here. The early access window for T-Mobile members is from 10 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time on Tuesday. As for the general sale, you don’t need a code to claim the $30 tickets.

Live Nation has been running this promo annually for over a decade, giving fans a chance to see headline acts for a lot less than the going price for a ticket (although prices have nonetheless gone up slightly — tickets were $25 during the 2024 concert deal).

The Summer of Live promo is a chance to see some reunions and some farewells. Fans can see the highly anticipated Pussycat Dolls tour, which finds the formerly six-piece girl group reunited as a trio, as they swing through North America this summer. The Wu-Tang Clan, meanwhile, will be on their Final Chamber farewell tour from August through the fall.

In addition to the aforementioned performers, other acts include Guns N’ Roses, Zayn, 5 Seconds of Summer, James Taylor, Rod Stewart, Mt. Joy, Pitbull, and Charlie Puth.
