When weather delays pushed back the construction schedule for the newly-remodeled Nickel Plate Amphitheater, the city decided to go back to the future…hold the early concerts on the south side of City Hall.  The first summer concert was held Tuesday night.

Despite a threat of rain and some brief showers moving through, most of the crowd stayed as the show began, with My Yellow Rickshaw taking the stage at 7:00pm.  More rain came later, leading to an early end to the concert.

The summer concert series will feature shows on Tuesday and Friday nights, Wednesday musical acts during the lunch hour, and a special show at Saxony FRiday, June 29th with Sugar Ray to kickoff the first Spark!Fishers Festival.

The city projects the newly-remodeled Amphitheater will be ready by Mid-July.

The first Friday concert June 8th, 8:00m, will feature Duke Tumatoe and John Waite
