One of the best ways to enjoy summer in the south is with a concert. These summer concerts offer live entertainment, enjoyable music, and memories that you will not soon forget. 
Willie Nelson & Alison Krauss
Two of the biggest stars of country music will perform at the Florence Civic Center in nearby Florence. The concert is scheduled for Aug. 12, 2019, and tickets start at $27 each for upper-bowl seats. You can expect to hear some of the biggest titles from each of these country stars. Allison Krauss will perform classics like “New Fool” and “When You Say Nothing At All.” Willie Nelson will perform classics as well as songs from his newest album, “My Way,” which was released just a few months ago.
Ted Nugent
Ted Nugent will perform at the CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park in nearby Simpsonville on Aug. 17, 2019. Tickets begin at $27 each for general admission lawn seats. This performance is a part of his “The Music Made Me Do It Again!” rock and pop music tour. Nugent has been performing since 1974 with over 40 tours completed, so you can expect a great show. The CCNB Amphitheatre is also a great place to enjoy an affordable summer concert under the stars.
Gladys Knight
It doesn’t matter your age or preferred genre of music, you have probably heard a few of Gladys Knight’s biggest hits. Often known as the Empress of Soul, she became famous during the 1960s with her group, Gladys Knight & the Pips.
