Bensalem Township's summer concert series rolls on next Wednesday with Echoes of Floyd, a Pink Floyd tribute act set to take the stage at the Penn Community Bank Amphitheater at 7 p.m. The show is part of the venue's 2026 season, and gates open at 6 p.m. for general admission, with season pass holders let in a half hour earlier at 5:30 p.m.
According to a Bensalem Township post, tickets cost $5 for Bensalem residents with proof of ID and $10 for non-residents, and children 12 and under get in free. Tickets are sold online at pcbaevents.com or at the admission booths starting at 6 p.m., and the township notes there are no refunds or exchanges once purchased. Online buyers need to bring either a printed ticket or a digital QR code to get through the gate.
Echoes of Floyd is a New England-based tribute ensemble known for full audio-visual performances that recreate Pink Floyd's progressive rock catalog, according to Soundcheck Studios, and the band plays regularly across venues throughout the Northeast. The Wednesday-night gig is the latest stop in a summer of tribute acts rotating through the Bensalem stage, following last week's AM radio-themed show that Hoodline covered in its tribute band recap.
Food Trucks, Raffles, and a Photo Contest
Three food trucks are scheduled to set up for the August 12 show: Rooster and the Chick, Cornhub, and Spuddy Buddy Fry Factory, though the township's post cautions that the lineup is subject to change without notice. Concertgoers can also buy into the Ultimate 50/50 raffle, with tickets sold at tables on either side of the complex walkways for $1 each or six for $5. Winners are chosen at random and announced during intermission.
There's also a selfie and photo contest running across the whole season, with one winner picked at the end for a swag bag of Penn Community Bank Amphitheater-branded items. To enter, attendees post a concert-night photo to the venue's Instagram account, @pcbaevents, and leave it in the comments of the corresponding recap reel or photo post. Contest photos can be taken anywhere the public is allowed on the amphitheater grounds. Concert updates in general are posted to that same @pcbaevents account, and the township says weather-related postponements or cancellations get assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Corporate Backing Keeps Admission Cheap
The low ticket prices are underwritten by a long list of sponsors for the 2026 season, including Penn Community Bank, Xfinity, PECO, Waste Management, Parx Casino, Foley, the Bensalem Township Country Club, Sherwood Steel, Lou's Farm Mart, ShopRite, and Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton, per the township's announcement. Penn Community Bank's involvement runs deeper than a logo on a banner: the bank has served as the amphitheater's title sponsor since 2017 and made a $92,500 contribution in May for naming rights and sponsorship of this year's concert series, according to a Penn Community Bank press release.
That kind of public-private backing has helped this year's lineup stretch across the full summer. The 2026 slate marks the 24th annual concert season at the amphitheater, with weekly Wednesday tribute shows running from late May through late August covering acts modeled on Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and Jimmy Buffett, as Patch reported.
Rules of the Lawn
The amphitheater sits inside Bensalem's 100-acre Central Park at 2400 Byberry Road and can hold more than 3,000 people on open lawn seating, according to Bensalem Township Parks and Rec. Guests bring their own lawn chairs or blankets for the open-air setup next to the municipal complex. Outside food and small coolers are allowed, but alcohol, pets, bikes, skateboards, scooters, hula hoops, and ball playing are all barred from the concert premises, and smoking is permitted only in designated areas.
Professional photography and recording gear, including cameras with detachable lenses, need written consent from both venue officials and the performing act before they're allowed in, per the venue's policies. Simply walking onto the grounds on a concert night counts as consent to being photographed, filmed, or otherwise recorded, and the township says that entry constitutes consent to media usage by Bensalem Township and the amphitheater for any purpose, in perpetuity. The township is also urging anyone approached by ticket scammers to report it immediately and to buy tickets and season passes directly through pcbaevents.com rather than third-party resellers; the municipal building itself does not sell concert tickets.
A Civic Project Two Decades in the Making
The amphitheater's roots go back to 2000, when planning began under Mayor Joseph DiGirolamo, the Township Council, and the Friends of Central Park fundraising committee, ahead of its debut concert season in 2002. DiGirolamo has served as Bensalem's mayor for more than three decades. Bensalem itself spans 21 square miles in Bucks County, with a residential population of 62,707 as of the 2020 Census and an estimated daytime business population of 250,000, according to the Bensalem Township Police Department, with I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike both running through town.
The municipal amphitheater isn't the only stage in Bensalem drawing crowds this year. The township is also home to the 1,500-seat Parx Xcite Center inside Parx Casino, Bucks County's largest indoor entertainment venue, which books national touring acts while the amphitheater sticks to its community tribute format, per Concerts 50. Once the summer series wraps, the amphitheater turns over to the Family Fall Festival in October, which is set to bring a free retro concert and fireworks to the same Central Park grounds.
