Vintage '80s pop, swoony R&B and some mandatory fun dot the schedule for the 2015 The Delta Classic Chastain series at Chastain Park Amphitheatre.
A few of the concerts – including Broadway queen Idina Menzel and "Weird Al" Yankovic –have already been announced through national releases. But others, including Lyle Lovett, Keith Sweat, Air Supply and Rick Springfield (with Loverboy and the Romantics - break out those bandannas!) are new to the summer concert landscape.
The season will launch June 5 with Lou Gramm, former lead singer of Foreigner and is slated to wrap Aug. 29 with Springfield.
Season subscription packages are on sale at 10 a.m. March 9. There will be Friday and Saturday night series subscriptions, as well as the “Take 5” or “Take 3” mini-series options. Single tickets will be available soon through all of the usual Ticketmaster channels.
To purchase subscription packages, call 404-733-5012 or visit deltaclassicchastain.com .
