Questions/answers

Hey, um, I heard the Rooftop Concerts ended. What’s this about shows in 2026?
We’re back, baby! Yes, it’s true that we ran this thing for ten years then ended in 2019. Our reasons for coming back may include: things changed, stars aligned, seemed like a good time to start up again, we missed it…and here we are. For 2026 we will have one concert a month from May - September.  We can’t wait for you to come on back or if you’re a first timer, welcome aboard!

Are the concerts on Saturday?
Nope. Friday. Always Friday. One concert a month from May - September for the 2026 season. May 15, June 26, July 24, August 21, and September 18.

Are the concerts on Tuesday?
Good grief. Please refer to the previous question.

I have a band. We’re really good. We want to play at the Rooftop Concert Series. Can we?
We’re flattered you want to be a part of our concert series but we don't take submissions. If you are a great UTAH band, getting attention, playing lots of shows and developing a following, and making good, original music, we’ll hear about you and will want to invite you to play.

Where do the concerts take place?
Now, they take place at 100 West and Center Street in Provo, right in front of the Nu Skin building. But in the beginning and for our first 5 years we were on a roof. And that's where we got the name. Even though we are on the street, we’re still keeping the original name because Pavement Concerts doesn’t have quite the same ring.

I went to your concert and lost a valuable item. Did you find it?
Lost and found items will be taken to the Provo Rec Center after each show. For more information about lost and found items, call 801.852.7636.

Can I ride my bike to concerts instead of a motor vehicle. I love physical fitness, you see. What do you have to say about that?
You're in luck, healthy person. We have free valet bicycle parking available, courtesy of the Provo Bicycle Collective. Ride your bike to the concert and take advantage of the most convenient parking available! Donations accepted to support the Collective.

How much do the concerts cost?
Friend, I think you’re going to like this part. They are FREE!

If free, who pays for the concerts?
Thanks for asking. Corporate sponsorships cover a majority of the costs. Thanks so much to our 2026 sponsors, The McGowan Family Foundation, Provo City, We honestly couldn't do this without them. 

This is a Provo City thing, right? Provo City is running this?
It takes place in Provo, and Provo City has been a generous sponsor and huge supporter, along with a handful of other sponsors. But it was started by a group of private citizens that cared about making their town better, and continues to be run by a group of committed volunteers. This is important, because it suggests that if you, too, have a great idea of how you can start something fun to give back to your town, you can do it! Reach for the stars, tiger!

What time do the concerts start?
The first band starts at 7:00. We open the area to concert-goers at 6pm. There are three bands, and we end by 10pm.

I’m the sort of person that likes as much information as I can get. Where can I go for even more information about the Rooftop Concerts?
You’re fun. I can tell. For more info, you’ll want to follow us on Facebook and Instagram

An outdoor concert, huh. What happens if it rains?
Yes, rain. We've faced that scenario before. Us against the rain. We won. In most cases, the show can go on. (We've never cancelled a show). Updates for such a situation will be on our blog and Twitter.

Have you ever been to Argentina?
Stay on track, buddy. This is about the Rooftop Concerts.

Can kids come?
Anyone can come. We suggest that before you come to the concerts, you listen to the particular artists that are playing to determine if it’s something your kids would like. Some concerts will be more suited for kids than others and we have a very packed crowd at every show.
