Cynthia Erivo, Heart, Ringo Starr: Wolf Trap Summer 2025 Concerts Announced

VIENNA, VA — Amid the cold winter season, concertgoers are counting down the days until summer concerts again fill the air at Wolf Trap's outdoor amphitheater.

On Tuesday, Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts unveiled its summer 2025 lineup at the Filene Center and will put tickets on sale at 10 a.m. on Feb. 28. Big names and performers in a variety of genres will be part of the lineup. Wolf Trap members may buy tickets before the public sale.

The summer concert season is a partnership between the nonprofit Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts and the National Park Service. Children’s Theatre-in-the-Woods performances and additional summer performances will be announced later in the spring.

"From the moment visitors arrive, we want them to feel the excitement and energy of Wolf Trap’s summer season," said Arvind Manocha, president and CEO of Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts. "This is a place where music, nature, and community unite. This summer we’re inviting audiences to celebrate the power of live performances in one of the nation’s most unique and inspiring venues."

Visitors will find a new entrance gate, adding to other recent upgrades at the venue and as part of an ongoing effort to boost accessibility. Wolf Trap plans to bring back its Ovations at Wolf Trap dining experience and will have reservations opening in March. There are concessions at the Filene Center, and attendees may bring their own food and drinks. Those on the lawn are permitted to picnic before and during shows.
