"Summer Concert Season" Indianapolis Favorite Tip by Ischyros

Favorite thing: Summer is the season for concerts in Indianapolis with 2 large outdoor concert venues, Verizon Wireless Music Center and the WhiteLies.tv Lawn at White River State Park, plus year round concerts at places like Conseco Fieldhouse and the Murat Theater. Verizon is located at the extreme edge of the suburbs in Noblesville, some 20 miles from downtown. The area surrounding the venue is building up quickly with a new mall just opening and a 16 screen theater plus IMAX. In fact, the Music Center was put up for sale last year as the land has become extremely valuable, but after no offers, the owners said "just kidding"! Not really, but they did come out and say they never intended to sell the place. Not really sure why it was for sale then.

WhiteLies.tv Lawn at White River State Park is located downtown at the White River State Park along the river and in front of the Indiana State Museum and NCAA Hall of Champions. The Lawn has featured performers such as Bob Dylan, Incubus, Bryan Adams, and many others. The 2008 season schedule is slowly being released.
