The Update | 330 Day Concert to Feature Red Wanting Blue, Munnycat
KENT, Ohio – The lineup for The Summit radio’s annual 330 Day concert will feature an acoustic set by Red Wanting Blue, Munnycat, Angela Perley, Jack Harris, Hunter Skeens and the Forerunners and Megan Bee.
The concert will take place Saturday, March 30, at The Kent Stage, 175 E. Main St.
Admission is free, but tickets must be obtained in advance at thesummit.fm or kentstage.org.
Past 330 Day concerts have had dozens of acts, but the station went with just six bands this year, which means each one will get to perform longer.
Now in its seventh year, the 330 Day concert gathers top bands from The Summit’s listenership areas of northeastern Ohio and Athens. The radio station moves the location each year; it was at Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown in 2022.
