Sweat fests: A rundown of summer’s outdoor concerts

The concert calendars for the bay area’s two outdoor amphitheaters have exploded, with shows getting added – across all genres – at a record pace. We’re talking summer concerts, sure, but these calendars extend well into the autumn months.

Of course, it’ll likely still be hot weather then, too. Remember where we live. Remember to hydrate!

And at Raymond James Stadium, football’s offseason months are traditionally back-to-back with big-name concerts; this year has been, and continues to be, no exception.

Here’s what’s been announced for Tampa’s Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheatre, at the site of the Florida State Fairgrounds:
