The Legends Day concert, part of the Indianapolis 500 weekend, will be held at new location this year. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway says country music star Dierks Bentley will headline the concert on May 28 at the TCU Amphitheater at White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis.
The concert was previously held at the Firestone Stage at turn four of the Speedway.
“Hosting the Firestone Legends Day Concert downtown will further integrate our city into the weekend and make for a great Saturday evening under the lights of downtown in a fantastic, newly renovated venue,” said IMS President Doug Boles. “It also allows us to make sure we will have the Indianapolis Motor Speedway properly prepared to host over 300,000 fans beginning at 6 a.m. the following morning.”
Other Legends Day activities, including the Indy 500 Public Drivers’ Meeting and driver autograph sessions, will remain at IMS. Gates will open at 8:00 a.m. and close at 1:00 p.m., giving race fans time to get downtown for the concert.
“Extending the footprint for May events beyond the Indianapolis Motor Speedway provides more opportunities for visitors and locals alike to get in on the action and excitement leading up to the largest single-day sporting event in the world,” said Visit Indy President and CEO Leonard Hoops.
The concert will open with Ashley McBryde and Dillon Carmichael at 7:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday morning.
