The Nikon at Jones Beach Theater summer concert calendar kicks off this weekend after $20 million in cleanup and restoration to repair damage caused by Superstorm Sandy seven months ago.
Bob Dylan, Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers are among the big-name acts scheduled to take the stage overlooking Zach’s Bay on 32 dates through Sept. 9—and Live Nation is sure to add more dates as the season gets underway, as usual. The venue was ranked the 26th best in the nation by Complex magazine recently.
First up Friday is country superstars Rascal Flatts & The Band Perry followed Saturday by Pitbull and Ke$ha, although the theater will be quiet for two weeks before the shows start up again.
