2008 Merriweather Post Pavilion Schedule
- If you've never been to Merriweather Post Pavilion before, you HAVE to go! Unlike other local music venues, MPP offers incredible stadium-size video
screens...so even if you purchased lawn seats, you can still enjoy the closeups. My kids and I already bought tickets and are heading back again this summer.
- What's really nice about this place is that they have seperated the 'mosh pit' area from the main seating. It makes it really easy for us who want to sit down and enjoy the show to not have to be involved in all the pushing and shoving going on! Merriweather Post Pavilion is only about twenty minutes away from where I live, so I try to see a concert every chance I get.
- At Merriweather Post Pavilion, the stage is HUGE! The acoustics are superior to other venues I've been to around Maryland and Virginia too. Of course, it can get really hot during the summertime, but since most shows are at 7 or 8 at night, it's usually not too bad. If you live in the area, MPP is definitely worth your while to visit.
- Great food and a fun location help make Merriweather Post Pavilion one of the best summer spots for entertainment in the tri-state area. I'll admit, traffic is a bit rough, especially for weekend shows - but once you're in your seat (or on the lawn!), it's the most fun you'll have all summer.
- My family and I have lived in the Columbia MD area for over a decade and we're always excited to check out the Merriweather Post Pavilion schedule as soon as it comes out every year. There is a wide variety of artists that perform - from blues, pop, and hard rock. I plan to see both Jimmy Buffett shows this season, while my kids already have their event dates locked-in on the calendar too!
