Saturday night concerts at the Daytona Beach Bandshell return July 11

Daytona Beach city commissioners made the decision to bring music back to the Daytona Beach Bandshell.

On Wednesday, July 1st city commissioners gave approval to the Friends of the Bandshell organization to host their Saturday night concerts at the Daytona Beach Bandshell beginning Saturday, July 11th, 2020.

Concert goers will have to follow social distancing protocols and the organizers of the event are required to operate at reduced capacity to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Dino Paspalakis who is with Friends of the Bandshell says, " the beach is free to the public and open and considered a safe environment we are basically the beach plus face masks so we are even safer.”

The normally free event will charge a general admission fee of $2.00 and $10.00 for VIP admission. Those fees will include a chair which will be spaced at least 6 feet apart for the show.

To get the shows started, a Stevie Wonder tribute band, “Hotter than July,” will kick off the concerts Saturday, July 11th, 2020.
