Country Music Icon Featured In Southington 'Drive-In Concert'

SOUTHINGTON, CT — Country music icon Blake Sheton will be "performing" at the Southington Drive-In this month in a concert taking on a theme relative to the coronavirus times.

The show is being billed as a "drive-in concert experience."

The drive-in announced the show in a Facebook post as part of its summer concert series. Shelton will be joined by special guests Gwen Stefani and Trace Adkins in a show slated for July 25.

Gates will open at 7:30 p.m. with showtime at dusk. Tickets go on sale at noon on July 14 via Ticketmaster only, according to the post. For more information visit:

Tickets are $114.99 per vehicle with up to six people in the vehicles.

"The all-new, one-night-only concert feature was filmed exclusively for drive-in theaters across North America," according to the billing.

The Southington Drive-In is not handling or coordinating ticket sales for the one-night-only concert, but will be able to distribute its proceeds to host civic and non-profit organizations within the community.

Movies have been on hold at the venue.

The town of Southington, in conjunction with the Plainville-Southington Regional Health District, will re-visit a potential opening for the months of August and September, according to a post on the drive-in's Facebook page. The traditional seasonal opening is in early June.
