Champaign-Urbana in the Summer: Free Concerts Galore, Both Outdoor and Virtual for 2020
What’s better than relaxing outside listening to live music on a nice summer evening? How about listening to FREE live music?
Yes, there have been a number of modifications to the original summer concert line-up in Champaign-Urbana and surrounding communities. However, creativity is the name of the game and as outdoor dining begins to take off, we are seeing a number of outdoor concerts pop up that you can enjoy firsthand, in addition to summer concerts you can stream through your device right at home.
We have two different categories below to help you find summer music for your listening pleasure — outdoor (free or low-cost) and virtual (free)… remember to scroll past ALL of the outdoor events to get to the virtual event listings. Click on the links to find the details for each event or venue.
We will be adding to this post constantly, so keep checking back. If you know of a concert you’d like to see on this list, take a moment to submit it to our event calendar and we’ll get it on here.
