It’s time to add some more Harrisburg summer concerts to your calendar.
Harrisburg University Presents announced on Tuesday that it would bring two iconic bands, hip hop group The Roots and British rockers The Struts, to the city.
The Roots, set to perform on July 29, went platinum and gold with successive studio releases and have won several Grammy Awards. The band is also known for its role as the house band on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
The band will perform as part of the concert organizer’s 2023 Summer Concert Series. Just last week, HU Presents announced that Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and The Head and The Heart will also hit the riverfront stage this summer.
The Roots return to the riverfront after their concert last summer.
Rock-and-rollers The Struts, will return to the city for the third time on July 14 at XL Live. They will be joined by a special guest, rock band Mac Saturn.
Formed in 2012, The Struts have opened for rock legends The Rolling Stones, The Who and Guns N’ Roses, among others. They released their most recent album, “Strange Days,” in 2020.
Tickets for both shows will go on sale to the public on March 3.
HU Presents has also recently announced a long lineup of concerts headed to Harrisburg in the coming months, including Rick Ross, Dawes, Joywave and alt-J, among others.
