UGA Performing Arts Center announces eclectic lineup for 2023-24 concert season

The Performing Arts Center (PAC) at the University of Georgia continually sets the standard for excellence in entertainment for the Athens community, and its schedule for the 2023-24 season promises to be one of its most eclectic and exciting to date.

From such American pop favorites as Nickel Creek and Indigo Girls to international stars Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Mariachi Sol de México, shows at the PAC can sonically transport you to places you've never been. Priced at just $10 for UGA students and $25 for general admission, single tickets are far more affordable than the average major concert, and there's no extra fee for parking.

Here's a look at everything that's coming up. The Performing Arts Center is located at 230 River Rd. For tickets, directions and additional information, visit pac.uga.edu.
