will Kick Off Saturday, May 25, And Run Through Saturday, September 28

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (March 14, 2024) – On Saturday, May 25th, the Daytona Beach Bandshell’s 2024 FREE Star Spangled Summer Concert Series, presented by Boardwalk Merchants and Friends of the Bandshell will officially kick off the popular summer concert series by hosting the first free Saturday night concert of the 2024 Free Star Spangled Summer Concert Series. Back by popular demand, the night sky will come alive with the “Bud Light-Lights Up Daytona Fireworks Display” over the ocean after the shows. Concerts begin at 7:15 PM, and fireworks over the ocean follow the concerts at 9:45 PM.

The Star Spangled Summer Concert Series is an annual free summer concert series that takes place on Saturday nights at the world’s most famous beach’s historic Bandshell located on the North end of the Daytona Beach Boardwalk and is an experience both locals and visitors alike look forward to every summer. The Star Spangled Summer Concert Series is known for bringing the best Tribute Bands to the beach and will begin the 2024 concert series on May 25th and continue every Saturday night through September 28th. The family-friendly concerts make for a star-spangled summer of fun for everyone.

On Saturday, May 25th, the concert series will officially kick off with RUSHOUR and KISS AMERICA, tributes to RUSH and KISS. RUSHOUR is a mind-blowing recreation of a real RUSH concert! RUSH has to be one of the hardest bands to portray, and RUSHOUR is as close as one can get! Their dedication to note-for-note playing and fantastic vocals that sound just like Geddy Lee will astound attendees. RUSHOUR plays all of the many big classic songs RUSH made famous, like Tom Sawyer and Limelight, and many of the deep cuts and fan favorites like 2112, By-Tor & The Snow Dog, Anthem, A Passage to Bangkok, Subdivisions, and many more.

Following RUSHOUR, KISS AMERICA will take the stage. KISS AMERICA brings an amazing tribute to KISS and is a fantastic recreation of a KISS concert with amazing costumes, props, and look-alike performers with years of experience playing big shows and events! KISS America will perform KISS’s great big hits and all of the KISS fan favorites.

Concert attendees can expect to hear great fist-pumping anthem songs and sing-a-longs like Detroit Rock City, I Was Made For Loving You, Strutter, Lick It Up, Cold Gin, Shout It Out Loud, Rock And Roll All Night, Love It Loud, Forever, Beth, Heavens On Fire, Black Diamond, Shock Me, Crazy Nights and many more!

On June 1st, Friends of the Bandshell will recognize the service of our veterans and will commemorate the Bud Asher Memorial Celebration by honoring local veterans with a patriotic flyover and the singing of the National Anthem at the Bandshell. ALLMAN REVIVAL and BEAUTIFUL LOSER will perform tributes to the Allman Brothers and Bob Seger.

On Thursday, July 4th, Friends of the Bandshell will celebrate Independence Day with a show featuring Alter Eagles, an Eagles Tribute Band. The show will also include a special extended “Bud Light-Lights Up Daytona Fireworks Display” paired with patriotic music provided by 95.7 The Hog radio show. Happy Birthday, America!
