Pittsburgh’s spring concert season is set to bring the crowds back | Spring Guide | Pittsburgh
Spring is here and so is the return of live music. Whether indoors or out, touring and local musicians are returning to Pittsburgh venues after a long pandemic winter. In Allegheny County, COVID-19 cases are currently at their lowest level since July 2021 — a good sign for spring concerts, according to Lawrenceville Spirit’s music venue creative director Aaron Clark. “Artists are starting to feel comfortable playing shows again,” he says, “and the crowds are coming back.”
Before buying a ticket to a concert, be sure to visit the venue’s website to check its vaccine and mask policies so you can come to the show prepared, especially since another push is always possible. But, for now, all signs point to a great lineup for the spring concert season, and we’ve got you covered with a list of some of the shows we’re particularly interested in.
