Tanglewood rock, pop, and jazz concerts 2019 schedule

Article updated March 25, 2019 by Dave Read

BREAKING NEWS – NOT FAKE – Brian Wilson’s gig is off – not gonna happen!!!

Tanglewood’s schedule of rock, pop, and jazz concerts for the 2019 season reflects one notable variation from the usual: Tanglewood on Parade moves from its customary first Tuesday in August slot to July 23, perhaps to accommodate music director Andris Nelsons, who will be on campus in July, but not August.
