New York Music Lovers Thrilled By Nearby Venue’s Summer Lineup

If you’re already thinking about summer concerts, here’s something Hudson Valley and New York fans might want to keep in mind.

One of the biggest concert venues in the region isn’t in New York at all. And for many people, it’s actually an easier drive than you might think.

PNC Bank Arts Center Is Worth The Trip

PNC Bank Arts Center just released its 2026 summer concert lineup, and it’s loaded with big names across just about every genre.

For a lot of Hudson Valley and New York City residents, getting to Holmdel, New Jersey, can actually be quicker than heading up to Saratoga Performing Arts Center.

A quick Google Maps search showed me the PNC Bank Arts Center is about 30 miles closer to my home in Orange County, New York, when compared to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
