Last summer, Frederik Meijer Gardens had its largest outdoor concert series to date. That is, until today. The Gardens' Fifth Third Bank Summer Concerts features an impressive 30-act lineup for summer 2014. Earlier this year, we got a sneak peek of the series when Meijer Gardens announced Jennifer Nettles, Tegan and Sara, NEEDTOBREATHE and KC and the Sunshine Band as some of its acts, proving once again its strength in choosing diverse artists.
The series kicks off on June 1 with Grammy-award-winning/legendary guitarist Santana. Other highlights of this series include Cake (June 12), John Legend (June 18), O.A.R. and Phillip Phillips (June 23), Ray LaMontagne with Jenny Lewis (July 23), Conor Oberst with Dawes (July 31), The Beach Boys (Sept. 4), Sheryl Crow (Sept. 7) and more.
