Popular Beach Concert Series Releases 2026 Band Line Up

Pensacola Beach’s favorite Tuesday night tradition, Bands on the Beach, returns for the 2026 season starting April 7. This year’s lineup features a diverse mix of musical styles and performers, including several bands and artists making their debut at Bands on the Beach.

Presented by the Santa Rosa Island Authority, these free concerts take place on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Gulfside Pavilion on Pensacola Beach, with the Gulf providing the perfect backdrop.

From rock, country, and Americana to reggae, funk, brass, and tribute performances, Bands on the Beach continues to showcase the depth of talent across the region while introducing audiences to new voices and sounds. Returning favorites are joined by a strong slate of first-time performers, creating a fresh and dynamic concert season.

Cat Country 98.7 will kick off each show and keep the energy going with on-stage announcements throughout the evening. Special thanks to The Soundmen for providing the lighting and sound for all concerts.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Pets and glass containers are not permitted.
