The annual release of the musical acts for this concert series has become torturous. How much longer must we be subjected to leftovers from the 70’s and 80’s that have no relevance. My tolerance for sitting through another concert featuring an old, bloated, shell of their former selves musical act is over. Until Disney starts to book top tier acts such as Dave Matthews or Jimmy Buffet, I will no longer attend this concert series.
Good. One less person in line.
Angry troll is back. They are not pay concerts and last a whopping half an hour to 45 minutes. I don’t even know why i’m bothering to reply. And I agree with DJ, one less lazy, troll in line to see a couple good tunes while I have a drink.
I assuming this is a joke
Nobody is that stupid….
Lol
Have you seen the list of performers for this year? How could any sane person look at that list and not realize that Elton John, Billy Joel, or even Bon Jovi would be far superior to the acts currently scheduled?
Free..the operative word is free..
Because top tier acts would be a separate ticket. If you want to see a top tier act, go to one of their concerts. And pay their ticket price.
Elton John,Billy Joel,Bon Jovi,Jimmy Buffet,Dave Matthews they are progressive music. Living color is more progressive than any of those bands.
Dennis DeYoung from STYX will be there during my upcoming solo trip dates. Looking forward to seeing him.
Domo.
Thank you very much Mr. Roboto.
Excellent Concert last year please come back this year!!
