Live Nation Concert Week in Portland Maine

POSTED BY
Leah Ingram

Every year, Live Nation does a specially priced concert week at venues in cities across the United States. 2025 is no different and Portland is usually on the list. Previously, tickets cost $25 for these special events but for Live Nation Concert Week in 2025, tickets are $30. Guess that’s inflation for you.

Live Nation Concert Week

Live Nation Concert Week has been renamed for 2025. The sale is now called “$30 Ticket to Summer,” which makes me think of the band 30 Seconds to Mars, for some reason. As the title says, the tickets are now $30. However, the all-in pricing still applies. The $30 ticket price includes all fees, but taxes are additional.

The sale starts on May 21 at 10 a.m. EST. The special is available while supplies last. There is no official end date. 

Early Access to T-Mobile and Rakuten Customers

Once again, Rakuten members and T-Mobile customers enjoy early access on May 20. I’m both a Rakuten customer and a T-Mobile user. So I can’t wait to see which bands will be playing in Portland.

Rakuten members are eligible by logging into their Rakuten account and navigating to their Account page to access an early access passcode to unlock the offer.

Eligible T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers must verify customer status HERE to receive an early access passcode to unlock the offer. The offer can also be unlocked via T-Mobile’s T Life app.

Bands playing $30 Ticket to Summer

According to my colleagues at Living on the Cheap, here are the bands that are playing $30 Ticket to Summer concerts this year:

  • AJR
  • Alice Cooper & Judas Priest
  • Avril Lavigne
  • Barenaked Ladies
  • Big Time Rush
  • Billy Idol
  • The Black Keys
  • Blink-182
  • Cody Jinks
  • Coheed and Cambria
  • Counting Crows
  • Creed
  • Cyndi Lauper
  • Dierks Bentley
  • Dispatch
  • The Doobie Brothers
  • The Driver Era
  • Glass Animals
  • Goo Goo Dolls
  • Halsey
  • Hardy
  • Hauser
  • James Taylor
  • Keith Urban
  • Kesha
  • Kidz Bop Kids
  • Leon Bridges
  • Little Big Town
  • +Live+ & Collective Soul
  • Luke Bryan
  • Nelly
  • The Offspring
  • Pantera
  • Papa Roach & Rise Against
  • Peach Pit & Briston Maroney
  • Pierce The Veil
  • Rod Stewart
  • Russ
  • Simple Minds
  • Simple Plan
  • Slightly Stoopid
  • Styx & Kevin Cronin Band
  • Summer of Loud
  • Tedeschi Trucks Band
  • Thomas Rhett
  • Toto + Christopher Cross + Men at Work
  • Tyler Childers
  • Volbeat
  • Weird Al Yankovic
  • Willie Nelson

Previously, the concerts were held at the Cross Insurance Arena, not one of the venues I expected. I thought they’d be at Thompson’s Point, where so many bands play live and outdoors in Portland.

Also, it is entirely possible that there won’t be any included concerts in Portland but rather in Bangor or even Boston. But at $30 all-in pricing, it might just be worth the travel.

Once you get to the website, you’ll want to look for tickets labeled “Concert Week Promotion” to get the $30 price. Then, add the tickets to your cart and proceed to checkout.

Final details on the Live Nation Concert Week

There are three important caveats to keep in mind when this event kicks off.

One, all-in tickets include all fees upfront in the $30 cost. Two, any taxes will be added at checkout as applicable to each city, state and venue.

And, three, these tickets are available for select Live Nation events, while inventory lasts. So, I would not wait very long to buy your tickets.
