The National City concert series season began June 15 with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the music of Led Zeppelin and ended Aug. 9 with Bryan Adams with special guest George Thorogood & The Destroyers. In between, the season featured 3 sold out shows with The Fray, Bob Dylan and Incubus. Other acts that played included OAR, Snow Patrol, and Alison Krauss & Union Station.
"It was a phenomenal season," said Terry J Hennessey, general manager of The Lawn at White River State Park and executive director of the Murat Centre. "The venue enhancements sent a good signal to the artists that the venue is top-notch. Almost every act saw huge attendance here compared to other venues where they played."
