It's one of the greatest venues I've ever had the pleasure to attend, and they never fail to bring the biggest and best to their stage. Whether you're parked on a blanket on the lawn or pressed up against barricade 10 feet from the artist, you're guaranteed to have a blast.

As we get closer to the venue's opening date on June 1st (An Evening with CAKE), they haven't stopped adding new shows. No matter what your favorite genre is, there's someone coming to SPAC for it.

Pop-Star Kesha recently announced her return to Upstate New York with the FREEDOM Tour, and her early-2000s counterparts, Lil Wayne & 2Chainz, will also be making a stop at SPAC to celebrate 20+ Years of Carter Classics.

Prefer something a little more varied? Willie Nelson is bringing a new group of folk and country artists with him for Outlaw Fest, including Sheryl Crow, The Avett Brothers, & Stephen Wilson Jr.

For those reminiscing on the 80s, Talking Heads frontman David Byrne will also be returning, bringing his zany, eclectic live show to Upstate New York's most coveted venue.
