Free Lakeside Concerts Are Coming to Lanier Islands, and the Lineup Is Peak Summer Nostalgia

Lanier Islands is going all in on the lakeside summer fantasy: tribute bands, food trucks, and a view that makes even “Hotel California” sound fresh again. And yes—it’s free.

Here’s what to know before you pack a cooler you probably won’t need:

🎶 The Lineup: Tribute City

• June 14 – Street Choir (Van Morrison tribute)
  Expect someone’s aunt to cry during Into the Mystic.
• July 19 – The Long Run (The Eagles tribute)
  If you don’t sing along to Take It Easy, are you even trying?
• August 16 – Tribute (The Allman Brothers Band)
  It’s Georgia. Of course we’re closing with the Allmans.

📍 The Setting: Peachtree Pointe Amphitheater

• Right on the lake at Lanier Islands
• Room for 800 people—but it’s first-come, first-served
• Gates open at 6 PM, music starts at 7:30 PM

🌮 Not Just Music

• Food trucks and bars on site—no need to sneak in trail mix
• Free admission, but bring canned goods for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank
• Want to stay overnight? There’s a VIP package with:
  • Hotel room + wine delivery
  • Pre-show open bar + apps
  • Trolley to the amphitheater
  • Breakfast buffet (yes, really)

🛶 Make a Day of It

• Water park, boat rentals, golf, arcade-style entertainment—pick your chaos
• Margaritaville is also in the mix, in case you want a frozen drink with a side of flip-flop regret

🎟️ How to Go

• Get your free ticket online at: lanierislands.com/special-events/summer-concert
• Or just show up early and hope for the best

It’s local, low-stakes, and sounds a little like your favorite cousin’s wedding—if your cousin was into Southern rock and the reception had better food.
