Just Announced: Glensheen’s Free Concerts On The Pier 2025 Music Lineup

The tradition of live music right on Lake Superior at Duluth's Glensheen Mansion is back for 2025, with a great lineup of performers for this summer!

This year marks the 10th annual summer concert series hosted outdoors on the grounds of Glensheen Mansion, using the property's old pier as the stage for music acts to perform for an audience either on (or in) the water or on the shoreline.

This might be one of the most unique concert events in the region. It is definitely a very "Duluth" way to enjoy music - right on Lake Superior!

Just like in years past, Glensheen's Concerts on the Pier are one of a pair of popular summer outdoor event series held lakeside at the famous Duluth property. The 9-week concert series on Wednesdays is preceded by a handful of beer garden nights through the month of June.

But first, beer!

Each Wednesday in June, you can enjoy a craft beverage (or a non-alcoholic one) by the lake with food trucks on-site and experts from the featured local breweries available to discuss their brews. Here is this year's lineup:

2025 June Glensheen Beer Garden series lineup
