There’s nothing quite like the experience of enjoying live music outdoors by some of your favorite major artists.  As New Jerseyans, we’re fortunate to have some great locations for big concerts. At the top of the list is the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ with its easy access (located at exit 116 at the Garden State Parkway) and its great half-covered/ half-open layout.

So many big names have performed at PNC Bank Arts Center, and so far this summer’s lineup of shows is no exception. This year, the concerts start before Memorial Day Weekend, on May 11th! So whether you’re the up-close-and-personal front row ticket buyer or the laid back relax on the lawn (or party on the lawn) type of concert-goer, there’s another great season of concerts, events, and festivals coming soon with something for everybody!

Here’s the lineup of 2012 shows (so far):
