2026 Louisiana Concert Schedule

(KNGT-FM) - In Louisiana, we love our live music and concerts. Whether it's dancing in the streets during Mardi Gras to some good Cajun tunes, listening to a local musician at a local restaurant, or visiting one of the many great venues in Louisiana for major concerts. We’re taking a look at the full concert schedule (so far) for 2026 across Louisiana.

Now, we get concerts in waves, so we only have our concert schedule for the first part of the year for most venues. You can expect more to come up in the next few months!
