Few venues in the metro area can rival Stir Cove's scenic skyline view and natural outdoor acoustics. The 2008 summer concert series stands-up to its unparallel backdrop kicking off May 25 with American Rock band, Styx. This season's line-up features a wide variety of entertainment including The Roots and Bonnie Raitt, as well as timeless favorites like Willie Nelson and Crosby, Stills & Nash.
The Cove solidified itself as the Midwest's premier, outdoor concert venue when it was named one of the "Top 100 Amphitheaters in the World" by Pollstar magazine. In 2007, the concert series was marked by record attendance.
