Your Guide to Live Music in Upstate New York

From sold-out amphitheater nights to casino showrooms and intimate theaters, country music draws some of the biggest crowds in Upstate New York. Nashville headliners and red-dirt favorites roll through the lawn at SPAC, the sheds at Darien Lake and CMAC, and resort stages like del Lago in the Finger Lakes and Turning Stone in Central NY — with plenty of rising songwriters and Americana acts filling the rooms in between.

This page tracks every country concert we’re following across the region, sorted with the next show first. Mainstream country, outlaw and red-dirt, bluegrass-leaning bills, and crossover Americana all live here in one place.

Coverage spans the Capital Region, Western NY, the Hudson Valley, Central NY, the Finger Lakes, and beyond. Tour routings through Upstate NY fill in fast each spring and summer — we update this guide the moment new dates are announced and include presale and ticket details so you can plan the drive and grab seats early.
