The City of Kennesaw amps up for another season of live music with the 2026 Kennesaw Concert Series at Depot Park. Sponsored by Wellstar Health System and supported by local businesses, including Hester Dental and Woodstock Chiropractic, the community is gearing up to rock out to various legendary acts and tribute bands—free of charge.
Kicking off on March 28 with Night Ranger, fans can expect to hear the group's power anthems known for topping the charts for over four decades. Indeed, to fully appreciate classics like "Sister Christian" and "(You Can Still) Rock in America," one might need to put aside contemporary streaming playlists and slow down to sink into the signature power ballads that defined a generation.
According to the City of Kennesaw's announcement, other acts include Boy Band Review on May 2, bringing back the '90s nostalgia with hits from *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. In the heart of the summer, Rumours ATL will pay homage to Fleetwood Mac on August 22, while Dancing Dream wraps up the series on September 26 with an ABBA tribute.
Mayor Derek Easterling is quoted as saying, "This series is quickly becoming a highlight of our community calendar," and "These concerts bring people together, showcase incredible talent, and continue to position the United Bankshares Amphitheater at Depot Park as a go-to destination for live music in our region," as reported by the city's official website. His endorsement seems to ensure that residents and tourists alike have a not-to-miss event lined up throughout the year.
Concertgoers can take advantage of the open seating on the lawn by bringing their own chairs to relax and enjoy the performances. Concessions will also be available to keep attendees well-fed and hydrated. For a more guaranteed spot, full-season seats are being sold for $100 until March 6 or until they're sold out. More information and purchase options for seating can be found on the amphitheater's website.
