The Intersection, a staple of the live music scene for over 50 years, has built a reputation as one of the few all-ages venues in the region.

This summer’s schedule includes an array of music genres such as Country, Metal, Rock, and EDM. One of the highlights will be Bearly Dead, a tribute band dedicated to capturing the essence of the Grateful Dead. They will perform on June 7 as part of the Paradise Waits Tour. Another notable act is Chase Rice, who is set to bring his “Go Down Singin’ International Tour” to The Intersection on June 20 during the outdoor concert series “Rock the Lot.” Billy Corgan, the frontman of The Smashing Pumpkins, will showcase his solo project, The Machines of God, on June 21. Additionally, on June 26, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus will mark their 20-year career by performing new material.
