A new outdoor concert venue called ParkStage is opening at the Freehold Fairgrounds.

The venue can hold 8,500 people, mostly standing. There is also a spot in the back where guests can bring a blanket.

Parking is free.

Shows planned for this summer include Little Steven Van Zandt, Andy Grammer, The B-52s, Jason Isbell and more.

ParkStage is a collaboration between Monmouth County and the Count Basie Center.

The venue opens with a soft launch on June 3. The first ticketed show, Sublime, is scheduled for June 19.
