New Live Summer Concert Series Coming to Peterborough

The Peterborough Memorial Centre, Showplace Performance Centre and Market Hall Performing Arts Centre are excited to announce the creation of the PTBOLive Summer Concert Series on Monday.

The new venture is a three-month-long live concert series that promises to showcase and celebrate the local music scene of Peterborough as well as offer the community a variety of live entertainment options in a safe and fun format.

The coalition of live music venues is excited to be able to offer the return of live music and will be rolling out event announcements throughout the day on April 12 as well as further announcements throughout the coming months according to a press release.

Tickets for all events will be on a per car basis and will be sold through the PMC’s Grant Thornton Box Office or by phone at 705-743-3561.

PTBOLive is a unifying effort of the three major live entertainment venues in Peterborough and a project that came to fruition as a result of tireless teamwork and collective problem solving.

“We are so thrilled by the opportunity to offer the Peterborough community a chance to attend real, live entertainment once again. The mandate of our organizations (PMC, Showplace and Market Hall) has always been to bring the best entertainment to the City of Peterborough and being able to continue that work through the pandemic while giving event attendees a safe and fun space to come to is a great honour,” says PMC Facility Manager Jeremy Giles. “Working with our incredible partners at Showplace and Market Hall is really helping us engage the local music scene in a big way and we can’t wait to have everyone back on site this summer! For the first time since last fall, we can finally say, Live Entertainment is back in Peterborough!”

"Showplace is excited to be working with Market Hall and the Memorial Centre to help bring live performances back to Peterborough this summer,” states Showplace General Manager Emily Martin. “Thanks so much to the City of Peterborough for supporting this great initiative and inviting us to take part!"

“We are thrilled to be working with Showplace & The Memorial Centre to bring shows back to the community. It’s been a long year for everyone and we can’t wait to experience the pure joy that is live music,” adds Market Hall General Manager Chad Hogan.

Individual shows will be announced throughout the day on April 12 and throughout the summer as more show information becomes available. All tickets will be sold as a per vehicle price with no venue imposed restrictions on vehicle capacity. Ticket prices will vary per event.
