A Salute to Service and Sacrifice
Commonwealth Concert Series
Featuring Cole Swindell with Special Guest Gabby Barrett and West Point Band

We know many fans are already lining up for today’s Commonwealth Concert Series featuring Cole Swindell with special guest Gabby Barrett — and with heavy rain in the forecast, we encourage everyone to plan accordingly and dress for the weather.

Umbrellas, raincoats and ponchos are encouraged for those spending extended time outside throughout the day.

Please note: tents located outside each gate are designated for the security screening process and are not intended for general queuing or weather shelter prior to gate entry.

Guests are also reminded to follow all applicable Penn State and State College Borough policies throughout the day. Information regarding State College Borough open container ordinances can be found here: https://safeaware.psu.edu/parents/drug-and-alcohol-laws-in-pennsylvania/state-college-ordinances

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation, and we look forward to a great show despite the weather!
