Darien Lake Concerts Schedule

The Darien concert schedule starts to come together in January with  new shows being booked ongoing through the spring.  By April you will have a good idea of what is to come, but there are always tours that do not announce until later on with dates later in the summer or fall.  Country shows are often booked early on as Darien Lake Country Megaticket is offered, and they go on sale the end of January usually.

Expect the Darien Lake calendar to begin the end of May and go through Labor Day weekend with shows each weekend and  concerts mid-week as well. This is a busy place during the summer concert season.

With Live Nation behind things you know the big tours of the summer will include Darien Lake as one of their stops.   Country tours usually bring along some of the rising stars in support and you might have noticed many of the pop and rock stars are teaming up for the summers and touring together, which makes for some interesting match ups and the fans get double or sometimes triple for the price of one ticket.
