Freeman Arts Pavilion adds more shows to 2026 season

Freeman Arts Pavilion, a program of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, has announced four additional performances for its 2026 season, continuing the steady rollout of programming for the venue’s 19th season and the grand opening year of its new permanent home.

These newly added shows feature the return of several fan-favorite artists who have previously graced the venue’s stage, including country music artist Cole Swindell Wednesday, Aug. 5; Changes In Latitudes: The Premier Jimmy Buffett Tribute Friday, Sept. 4; Delaware’s own George Thorogood and The Destroyers “The Baddest Show on Earth,” Thursday, Sept. 10; and rock legends Styx Friday, Oct. 2. Tickets for these shows will go on sale at 10 a.m., Friday, April 24.

With performances scheduled into September and October, the 2026 season invites audiences to keep the live music going well beyond the summer months. Additional shows will be released on a rolling basis as they are confirmed.

With the opening of the new stage, audiences can look forward to a reimagined venue experience. The redesigned Grand Green will feature a nearly 30-foot grade, ensuring excellent sightlines from all areas. Enhanced pathways now connect all areas of the venue, making it easier to navigate.

Additional performances will continue to be announced. To learn more, visit freemanarts.org.
