In 2024, Marcus Performing Arts Center and Culture x Design joined forces to debut Summer Of Soul. Following an inaugural year that featured performances by the legendary likes of Talib Kweli and Robert Randolph, the “Outdoor Marketplace and Concert Series” is returning for a second season of shows at the Peck Pavilion and its outdoor lawn.
With summer right around the corner, the 2025 Summer Of Soul lineup is now public. This time around, the series will bring renowned headliners like BILAL, Digable Planets, and Madison McFerrin downtown. Those performers will be joined by openers with local ties, including KidCutUp, Grace Weber, and Gego y Nony.
All Summer of Soul events will be free and open to the public, and will begin at 5 p.m. No coolers or carry-ins are allowed, but beverages will be available for purchase on-site. Check out the full Summer Of Soul lineup below.
