Other acts are set to be announced soon, Blockie says. Pop violinist/singer/dancer Lindsey Stirling has been added as a half-house show (6,000 capacity) for Sept.
10 when bands such as Weezer, and Panic! at the Disco take the stage. One of the area’s biggest annual multi-act festivals, City of Trees, is set to draw up to 12,000 fans to Bonney Field on Sept. “Bonney Field was always meant to be more than just a soccer stadium and I’m very excited for the opportunities we have here,” says Bonney Field General Manager Eric Blockie, whose company, Comcast Spectra, has secured a long-term contract to operate the facility. With a working formula in place, stadium officials believe that it will continue to attract major acts for years. Some of the problems that led to the Cal Expo Amphitheater’s closing have been addressed over the years, allowing Bonney Field to host concerts in its current form. Cal Expo Amphitheater was a destination for large outdoor concerts for 15 years, before it was shut down in 1998 due to noise restrictions. The location of Bonney Field has an interesting history, as it was once home to Cal Expo Amphitheater. However, it appears to be properly conditioned for a new era as an outdoor music space. That would of course leave Bonney Field–which was built as a more temporary structure than the proposed stadium–without a major draw. With Sacramento Republic FC confident in the likelihood of joining the MLS, the chances of that stadium becoming a reality are increasing. Sacramento Republic FC is making a case to join the MLS, with one of the centerpieces of its bid being a state-of-the-art, 25,000 seat soccer facility in downtown Sacramento. While it has attracted some big crowds during the franchise’s run in the USL, the stadium is unlikely to continue as the team’s home. Though the Sacramento Republic FC may be leaving in a few years, Bonney Field looks like it will reemerge as a viable music venue.īonney Field was built in 2014 as the host of Sacramento Republic FC.
