After Hours Concert Series to Focus on Innsbrook Pavilion in 2026

The popular music series is putting its Doswell location on hiatus for the year.

Published on Feb. 25, 2026

The After Hours Concert Series has announced that it will focus its 2026 season entirely on the Innsbrook Pavilion in Glen Allen, Virginia, putting its Doswell location on hold for the year. The series' managing producer, Matthew Creeger, said fans can expect the same energy at the Innsbrook stage that made the Doswell shows popular, though he did not provide specific reasons for the venue change.

Why it matters

The After Hours Concert Series has become a popular summer music event in the Richmond area, drawing large crowds to both its Innsbrook and Doswell locations. The decision to focus solely on the Innsbrook Pavilion for 2026 suggests the series is looking to build on the success of its West End Richmond venue, while potentially reevaluating the long-term viability of the Doswell location.

The details

The After Hours Concert Series announced the venue change on its official Facebook page, stating that the 2026 season at Innsbrook will feature a lineup of "tribute favorites and national headliners." The series' managing producer, Matthew Creeger, said the Doswell location was "great for the people who supported us" but that the series will "keep the door open to returning in the future." The 2026 Innsbrook schedule already has roughly a dozen concerts booked, including performances by Blues Traveler and The Marshall Tucker Band.
