Live Form OBX is ending their concert series at Roanoke Island Festival Park after this year. I've been to several shows there and it is one of my favorite venues for a concert. Wondering if anyone else had been to the concerts there, and your thoughts on them not continuing the series. Hopefully, someone else will pick and continue it next year.
Hadn't heard about that, I wonder why?
@W&M OBX seems like a lot of finger pointing from both the town of Manteo and the concert promoter. Hopefully, they are able to find another promoter and continue the shows there. There have been some pretty big names there and the venue size is perfect. ETA, outerbanksvoice.com has two articles about it. https://www.outerbanksvoice.com/2026/07/15/live-from-obx-concert-series-will-not-return-to-roanoke-island-in-2027/ https://www.outerbanksvoice.com/2026/07/16/town-of-manteo-responds-to-news-that-live-from-obx-concert-series-will-not-return/
@Floyd thanks for the articles.
I found this interesting and news to me for sure. It is all about the money and Manteo can only generate so much at that location. "Because Roanoke Island Festival Park is owned and operated by the State of North Carolina through the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the Town of Manteo has no authority over the park’s operations and contractual agreements."
