Rock the Ruins is back at Holliday Park this summer, bringing an unforgettable lineup of concerts to one of Indianapolis’ most iconic outdoor venues.
Since its debut as a full-fledged concert series in 2021, Rock the Ruins has grown in every way, including bigger crowds, a stronger team, and higher-profile artists. The overall experience continues to be elevated year after year. Set against the stunning backdrop of The Ruins at Holliday Park, this family-friendly series offers an extraordinary blend of world-class talent and local charm.




Proceeds from the series support the ongoing work of the Holliday Park Foundation, making every ticket not just a pass to great music but an investment in the community.
This year, there are artists with international acclaim coming to perform at Holliday Park – an amazing experience of world-class talent on a local stage that’s like a concert just for you right in your backyard. It’s incredible to watch as the Indianapolis community comes together to enjoy these outdoor live events against the beautiful backdrop of the sunset hitting the historic Holliday Park ruins.
