2026 Guide to Live Entertainment at Hershey Venues
Concerts and Shows Coming to Central Pennsylvania in the New Year
2025 was an exciting year for live entertainment in Hershey, Pa.! We welcomed iconic artists to GIANT Center along with Hershey Bears hockey games, and hosted more shows than ever before at Hersheypark Stadium, featuring popular talent like Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Twenty One Pilots.
As we look ahead to 2026, both venues will continue to host an impressive lineup of star-studded performances, with more announcements coming soon. We are also eager to reopen Hershey Theatre following its year-long renovation project, with new Broadway show offerings, an abundance of concerts, comedians and more.
