Concertgoers seeking tunes under the sun and night sky in Clark County will have no shortage of live music options this summer as Cascades Amphitheater in Ridgefield and the Clark County Fair prepare to host a wide range of performers through September.
Cascades Amphitheater officials say the 2026 season is shaping up to be one of the best venue’s biggest yet, featuring artists from multiple genres and an expanded focus on the overall fan experience.
“This season, we’re turning every concert into a full night out with something for everyone,” said media representative Kate Bewak. “From an incredible mix of live music and new food offerings to refreshing beverages, pre-show experiences and fan-first amenities that make arriving early worth it.”
The Ridgefield venue’s lineup includes globally recognized performers such as Hilary Duff, Kid Cudi, Machine Gun Kelly, Evanescence, Muse and Train.
In addition to the music, visitors will find new food vendors, including Tacos Del Centro and Jade Lane Dumplings, alongside returning fan favorites like Rebel Hen Crispy Chicken, Mosh Burger and Ziggy’s Magic Pizza. Beverage options include local craft beers from Boneyard Beer and Elysian Brewery, as well as new shaved ice, coffee and nonalcoholic specialty drinks.
Fans looking for an upgraded experience can visit The Backyard, an open-air lounge that debuted last season. The space features lawn games, shaded seating, a private entrance, exclusive food and beverage offerings, as well as live DJ performances before concerts.
Meanwhile, the Clark County Fair will once again offer a slate of free grandstand entertainment during its annual run in August. The fair has traditionally attracted large crowds with nationally touring country and rock acts included with fair admission. This year, a famous ‘90s hip-hop act will take the stage, too. Upgraded seating is available for fair concerts, with fair entry included with the purchase of a ticket.
Together, the two venues provide residents with dozens of opportunities to enjoy world-renowned live music throughout the summer months without leaving Clark County.
