WOODINVILLE, Wash. — Tickets for the entire Chateau Ste. Michelle 2016 Summer Concert Series go on sale today, however shows for this year’s two most historic acts — Bob Dylan and Paul Simon — already have been sold out.
It marks the 32nd year for shows at the former estate of timber baron Frederick Stimson. Tickets to each of the 25 performance dates at the 4,300-seat Woodinville amphitheater are available starting at 10 a.m., Saturday, March 26 for in-person sales at Chateau Ste. Michelle’s wine shop and online at Ticketmaster.
The series begins Memorial Day weekend with May 28-29 shows headlined by Paul Simon. The season ends Friday, Sept. 16 with Bonnie Raitt.
A number of this year’s headliners are performing on consecutive nights — Don Henley (July 19-20), Earth, Wind and Fire (Aug. 5-6), Jackson Browne (Aug. 12-13) and Steve Miller (Aug. 26-27).
The cost to see some acts starts at $39.50 for general admission, while reserved seating prices range to $154 for acts such as Earth, Wind and Fire.
The Chateau Ste. Michelle Festival of Jazz on July 30 brings Gerald Albright, South African singer Jonathan Butler, singer/songwriter Bobby Caldwell and Nellie McKay. On July 26, the Wine Country Blues Festival features The Robert Cray Band, Shemekia Copeland, The James Hunter Six and Mavis Staples. It will be the third appearance of the year at the chateau for Staples, who also will perform with Dylan.
This year’s lineup marks the return of several acts from Chateau Ste. Michelle’s 2015 concert series — Jackson Browne, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, Steve Miller, the Gipsy Kings, Chris Isaak and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.
Ste. Michelle launched the concert series in 1974 — two years before building its French-styled chateau and two years after its inaugural planting of Cold Creek Vineyard overlooking the Columbia River in Eastern Washington.
Ste. Michelle warns those who exceed the ticket limit risk having their orders cancelled without notice by Ticketmaster.
