Rehoboth Beach Bandstand tunes up for 60th year

Posted

REHOBOTH BEACH — For its 60th season of offering free family-friendly music, the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand’s Summer Concert Series is so packed with performances that it has added a preview weekend.

The series offers shows each Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from June 10 through Sept. 3. And this year, Memorial Day weekend performances have been added.

“It has been such an exciting time for Rehoboth Beach, as we see our visitors and locals returning to our audience,” said bandstand program director Corey Groll.

“In putting together this year’s lineup, we wanted to welcome everyone back with a balance of opportunities to reconnect with some favorite acts and be introduced to new musical groups, as well.”

Memorial Day weekend performances begin at 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The series will then continue June 10, with Mike Hines & The Look taking the stage. It will close out with Still Surfin’ on Sept. 3.

Concerts are at the bandstand on the boardwalk end of Rehoboth Avenue.

The entire 2022 schedule is available here.

The concerts span multiple genres — from jazz to Motown and smooth soul to a mashup of opera and rock — as well as decades, with the British classics and Janis Joplin to the 1970s and ‘80s. Tribute performances throughout the summer will honor The Beach Boys, Neil Diamond, the Eagles, Elton John, Elvis, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones, Steely Dan and Van Morrison.

A highlight will be over Independence Day weekend, when The Funsters take the stage July 3 before and after the city’s fireworks display, plus military bands perform July 2 and 4.

“As a veterans memorial bandstand, we take the opportunity to host U.S. military musical groups very seriously,” said Mr. Groll.

“This year, Rehoboth’s bandstand is the chosen venue for the U.S. Navy Concert Band and the U.S. Army Band Jazz Ambassadors during the important Fourth of July weekend. These official D.C.-based groups are tops in their field, and we are honored to host them in Rehoboth Beach.”
