2024 Kokomo Summer Concert Series Artists Announced
After long anticipation, the 2024 Kokomo Summer Concert Series line-up is here. From June 8 through Sept. 7, the Kokomo Performing Arts Pavilion at Foster Park will be filled with nine free evenings of live music, food and entertainment for the whole family.
Organizers said this year’s lineup features a bit of everything, for everyone.
“I tried to get a diverse line-up with different styles of music to cater to everyone and I think this year we have a good mix. We obviously can’t get Elton John and Madonna here, but the artists we chose are a really good representation of the music you know and love,” said TA Weber, owner of Weber Speakers, who booked the acts for this year’s series.
