CLEVELAND, Ohio - U2 packed FirstEnergy Stadium. Queen and Adam Lambert rocked Quicken Loans Arena. The Piano Man himself, Billy Joel, treated Cleveland to a show at Progressive Field.
This summer has been a banner season for big acts bringing their tours to the city.
But despite its reputation as the rock 'n' roll capital, Cleveland has often felt overlooked in past years when it comes to big name acts. With artists making tour stops in nearby markets like Columbus, Detroit and Pittsburgh, many fans have been left wondering why Cleveland's been passed over.
Could the tides finally be turning?
Still to come this year, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Guns N' Roses, Jay-Z, Janet Jackson and Katy Perry will all take the stage in Cleveland.
Will AEG, the world's second-largest concert promotions company, taking over the legendary Agora have any effect on bringing higher profile artists to the city? Can new nonprofits and growing festivals in the city help elevate Cleveland's reputation as a music city once again?
Are we having a concert comeback? And who would you like to see come to Cleveland? We want to know.
