Blackberry Smoke & Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs at ARTPARK Amphitheatre

Jam along to the most sought-after joint rock music event of the Summer! Thursday, July 31st, 2025 — the ARTPARK Amphitheatre is honored to present Blackberry Smoke and Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs LIVE! This double-headlining concert production finds Lewiston, New York, after kicking off its 11-date US jaunt with two shows in Nashville’s Mother Church, featuring Shannon McNally in a very special guest performance. A collaboration for the ages, witness as these two all-American groups raise the rafters, shooting reverbs into the sky in a night of incredible rock and rolling!

In commemoration of late drummer and co-founder Brit Turner, Blackberry Smoke extends their roadshow romps following the release of their universally acclaimed eighth LP, Be Right Here. This six-piece act, best known for such riveting hits as “Waiting For The Thunder,” “One Horse Town,” and “Good One Comin’ On,” underscores two decades of chart-topping records on Billboard’s Country radio in a set that can electrify any arena nationwide. The BBS catalog includes 2012’s mainstream-piercing The Whippoorwill, which produced the AAA runaway hit “Pretty Little Lie,” with a string of number-one and top-five albums injecting exquisite gospel, R&B, and bluegrass into the Southern rock traditions as preached by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs fill the other end of the stage as the event’s co-headlining crew. Campbell, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icon formerly part of the Heartbreakers alongside the late Tom Petty, brings his band to give you a taste of rough, swaggering rock with a touch of vintage ‘60s and ‘70s influences, including classic blues. Their addition spells grungy anthems like “Electric Gypsy” and “Wicked Mind” from 2022’s External Combustion, joined by earlier favorites such as “Pistol Packin’ Mama,” “Dare to Dream,” “Irish Girl,” and more from the albums Wreckless Abandon and Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits.

In support is Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shannon McNally (“Lovin’ In My Baby’s Eyes,” “Pale Moon”), who offers melodic alt-country tunes incorporating old-school rock and blues.

Lewiston’s ARTPARK Amphitheatre overlooks the Niagara River gorge, providing a picturesque, one-of-a-kind backdrop to the Blackberry Smoke and Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs joint concert. It features a world-class suite of amenities, with top-tier acoustics, concessions, hospitality, and access to celebrate arts, culture, and entertainment. Tickets are now available. Buy yours today!
