Press release from the City of Louisville: April 18, 2022 Mayor Greg Fischer and Councilmembers today joined concert promoters, local business owners and members of the performing arts community to announce a full slate of live performances returning to the historic Iroquois Amphitheater this summer. "This year's line-up offers something exciting for the entire community," said Mayor Greg Fischer. "We want this to be the best season yet at the Iroquois Amphitheater located in the vibrant south end of Louisville." The 2022 season will kick off on Tuesday, April 26, with a live concert from indie rock band, Modest Mouse. Others scheduled to perform at the Amphitheater include Ben Rector, Mark Wood from Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Martina McBride, RuPaul's Drag Race and "Weird Al" Yankovic. Four shows – My Morning Jacket, on June 24, and Billy Strings on July 22, 23, and 24 – are already sold out. Those looking to attend the sold-out My Morning Jacket show should plan to enter the social media contest for a chance to win a pair of tickets to the Iroquois Amphitheater on June 24 and Waterfront Park on June 25. More information on how to enter can be found on the Iroquois Amphitheater's Facebook page. "There is always a lot of anticipation at the start of each season at the Iroquois Amphitheater," District 15 Councilman Kevin Triplett said. "With so many new businesses and Colonial Gardens adding a new element to the whole experience last year when we came out of COVID, I think there's more excitement about this season than ever before." The Amphitheater's season also features live theater performances with ACT Louisville's production of The Sound of Music which takes the stage July 15-18. Additionally, the Amphitheater welcomes TicketMaster as its new ticketing provider. For a full list of performances and to purchase tickets, visit iroquoisamphitheater.com.
