Two acts have already been booked for the 2015 Harveys Outdoor Concert Series. And with Lake Tahoe Hard Rock opening at the end of the month, the South Shore is expected to be more of a music destination.

Kenny Chesney will be at Harveys July 22. Dave Matthews will be on stage Sept. 9. This is a return engagement for both artists. Chesney was in Lake Tahoe in 2009, Matthews in 2013.

Chesney will start at 7:30pm. Tickets range from $79.50-$149.50, but a sale date has not been announced.

Matthews concert starts a 7pm, will be general admission — like last time — and are $85. They go on sale Feb. 13.

Normally the series has about 10 shows from May-September. Last year set a record at 13. But Harveys now has the option to host 18 concerts based on approval last year from the Douglas County commissioners.

Stateline’s newest casino – Hard Rock – is starting off with a free concert opening night Jan. 28. Mojo Green will be at Vinyl at 9pm.

According to Hard Rock officials, “Vinyl provides an intimate setting for singer/songwriters, classic rock n’ roll entertainment and comedians. Programming will include local favorites and tribute bands, open mic nights, comedy routines and late night dancing, as well as national touring acts.”

Uncle Kraker plays there Jan. 29 at 9pm. Tickets start at $61. Skid Row plays Jan. 30 at 9pm – tickets $50. Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts come in Jan. 31 at 9pm – tickets $50.
