Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell, indie band The Head and The Heart to play Riverfront Park this summer

Get ready for more outdoors music in Harrisburg this year.

Harrisburg University Presents announced on Tuesday that artists Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and The Head and the Heart will perform in Riverfront Park over the summer.

Singer-songwriter Isbell will perform with his band, the 400 Unit, on July 26 and indie-folk band The Head and the Heart will take the stage on Aug. 26, both as part of HU Presents’ 2023 Summer Concert Series.

“We’re so excited about this year’s Summer Concert lineup,” said Frank Schofield, HU’s director of live entertainment. “This series in picturesque Riverfront Park has become a highlight of the season in downtown Harrisburg, and we can’t wait to share these incredible artists with the community. Stay tuned as we continue to announce the entire series.”

These are the first announced shows for the 2023 outdoor series in Riverfront Park, although the concert promoter has recently shared many shows that it has lined up for the spring in the city.

Isbell and the 400 Unit return to the city after performances in 2019 and 2021. They will be joined this year by special guest S.G. Goodman.

Isbell released his first solo album, “Sirens of the Ditch,” in 2007. His latest album, “Weathervanes,” is expected on June 9.

The Head and The Heart released their fifth album, “Every Shade of Blue,” in 2022 and headlined shows across the country during their 2022 tour.

Tickets for both concerts will go on sale to the public on Feb. 24 at 10 a.m.
