New Jersey summer concert schedule at MetLife and PNC Bank Arts Center
The two best places to see major concerts in New Jersey are, in my opinion, PNC Bank Arts Center and MetLife Stadium.
PNC Bank Arts Center being an open-air amphitheater, lends itself to a perfect summer vibe. The same for MetLife Stadium even if larger and a bit less intimate.
It’s always an exciting time when summer concert schedules are released. We have all the info you need below. So now it’s just a matter of fighting off those secondary market bots to score cheap tickets. Good luck!
