2026 Concert Schedule
7:30pm start (except June 5 & 6 starting 5:30pm), end times vary (see schedule details), Pavilion, 1818 Discovery Street, Reston Town Center
All shows one performer (unless indicated otherwise); typically play straight through (though some may include a break with two sets)
Discoteks
This dynamic, eight-piece band, with band members who have performed with The Trammps, Wallstreet, Chubby Checker, Millie Jackson, Paul Anka, The Platters, Bobby Rydell, and Peggy Lee, delivers an electrifying performance that’s packed with high-energy grooves, explosive horns, harmonizing vocals, and a dazzling stage performance. The Pavilion will become a Disco Inferno!
Bitter Luck
Original, hard-charging, pure rock & roll that channels Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, and Guns N’ Roses. This is what so many of us want in today's music and can't find -- original, unadulterated, rock & roll. Bring it!
Hell’s Belles
All female AC/DC tribute endorsed by Angus Young himself (Blender Magazine, 2003). HELL’S BELLES have thrilled around the world, delivering an all-out rock-n-roll assault of AC/DC classics that will have the audience screaming for more! First time at the RCOTT.
Ace Monroe
Crushed it as opener for Smash Mouth at Rocktoberfest 2025. Of course we'd ask them back for their own show! Ace Monroe delivers original music that has a classic rock & roll soul. You want high-energy, unapologetic, authentic, ORIGINAL rock & roll (though they play some mean Aerosmith and other covers)? Ace Monroe delivers!
Hard Day’s Night
An RTC favorite that packs the house every year. The Fab Four returns, and you don’t need a Ticket to Ride – it’s FREE like all of our concerts! Get Back!
The Ocean Blue
Embraced in their early years by alternative radio and MTV, with Top Ten hits on U.S. college and Billboard’s Modern Rock Radio charts. The band's eight albums, several EPs, and fabulous shows have developed a dedicated following, sure to grow with their first visit to Reston!
Almost Queen
First time at RCOTT, and "we will rock you!" Almost Queen's authenticity shines through with their impeccable attention to detail and genuine costumes, while their live energy and precision is "guaranteed to blow your mind!" The complete Queen experience! Epic close to the 2026 season.
