Get the picnic baskets, coolers and blankets ready — the Webb, Stuckey and Lindsey Summer Concert Series at the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater is returning with the likes of the Righteous Brothers and Kansas.

The lineup for the first half of the series was released last Friday and will provide a wide range of musical variety in the coming months.

The first band to play will be the hometown favorites, Kansas, April 21 and 22. The group is best known for rock hits like “Dust in the Wind,” “Carry On My Wayward Son,” and “Point of No Return.” Several members of the band live around Peachtree City.

Don McLean will take the stage May 5-6. Best known for his tribute to the rock and roll era, “American Pie,” McLean also has recorded many other hits, including “Vincent (Starry Night),” “Castles in the Air,” and “Crying.” McLean has experienced a surge of popularity with the recent remake of “American Pie” by Madonna.

The third act to play the summer concert series will make the `60s come alive again. The Fifth Dimension will perform May 19-20, brandishing mega-hits “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In,” “Up, Up and Away,” and “Stoned Soul Picnic.” The group includes three of the original, founding members: Florence LaRue, Lamont McLemore and Ron Townson.

The fourth show of the series is quite possibly the biggest, and quite likely the biggest act the amphitheater has ever had. June 2-3 The Righteous Brothers will bring their long list of hits and soulful voices to Peachtree City. Among their many hits are “Unchained Melody,” “You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling,” and “Rock and Roll Heaven.”

Closing out the first half of the summer concert series will be songstress Helen Reddy. The Australian-born singer boasts six top 10 hits, including “I Am Woman,” “Angie Baby,” and “Delta Dawn.” She will perform June 16-17.

The acts that will play the second half of the summer concert series will be announced in May.

Series tickets will go on sale Monday, March 20 at 9 a.m. Tickets in the reserved seating area or on the lawn are $85 for the five-concert package. Reserved seats in the Gold Circle (Friday nights only) are $90. Picnic tables and gold tables are available on a limited basis. All tables seat six people. Call for availability.

Individual tickets for the series will go on sale April 11. Tickets will be $25 for all shows, except the Righteous Brothers, which will be $35. For information, phone the amphitheater offices at 770-631-0630.
