Oswego events manager Julie Hoffman is already feeling the excitement building up. “I think it’s going to be very popular because Taylor Swift is so popular,” she said. “We hope that families of all ages come out.

Venue 1012: Where Music and Community Come Together
Owned and operated by the village of Oswego, Venue 1012 is the place to be for summer entertainment. From free concerts to ticketed events, there’s something for everyone. The amphitheater opened its doors in August 2021, thanks to a generous donation of land by local business owner Kevin Fialko. And now, it’s gearing up for its third full season of fun and music.
This summer, Venue 1012 will not only host live music but also movie nights under the stars. And here’s the best part – you can bring your own food! Yes, you heard that right. Pack your picnic baskets and get ready for a feast under the open sky. Of course, vendors will still be selling delicious treats, and the beverage tent will keep you hydrated with beer, wine, soda, and bottled water during concerts. It’s all about creating a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Rocking Out with Red Wanting Blue and More
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Venue 1012 has an exciting lineup of ticketed concerts as well. Ohio indie rock band Red Wanting Blue will take the stage on June 22, promising a unique musical experience. Julie Hoffman is thrilled about this addition to the summer roster. “It’s not your typical genre of music,” she said. “When I hear them, I feel it’s kind of a combination of Darius Rucker and Dave Matthews. The lead singer has such a deep, fantastic voice. They are very talented.” Get ready to rock out and discover new sounds at Venue 1012.
And let’s not forget the grand finale of the season on October 12. A special breast cancer benefit concert featuring Billy Elton and Dancing Queen will close out the summer with a bang. It’s a tribute to the legendary Billy Joel, Elton John, and ABBA, all for a great cause. The concert will support the Edward Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and Waterford Place Cancer Resource Center, spreading awareness and raising funds during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
So there you have it – a summer filled with music, community, and unforgettable moments at Venue 1012 in Oswego.
