Blues on the Green returns to Zilker Park this week, June 11-12.

This year's concert series will feature new experiences and popular ATX bands, but the outlook wasn't always as sunny for the 2024 event.

Let's take a look at how we got here + what to expect.

January 17: Austin City Limits Radio announces that Blues on the Green is canceled for 2024, citing rising costs + a need for additional support.
February 15: Austin City Council approves Resolution 23, which authorizes the city to co-sponsor the event. H-E-B also increases its financial support.
February 16: It's official — Blues on the Green is back for summer 2024.

Check out the lineup for Tuesday, June 11. Music starts at 7 p.m. both evenings.

Grace Sorensen: The ATX-born artist was one of the youngest performers to grace the stages at ACL Fest 2023.
Nané ft. Quentin Arispe: This soulful band plays funk-rock beats.
Golden Dawn Arkestra: City Editor Morgan here. This is my favorite local band. Trust me, you don't want to miss this headliner.

Here's the lineup for Wednesday, June 12.

The Point: Expect hip-hop and jazz fusion from this six-member group.
Caramelo Haze: Check out their album "Noestásaquí" ahead of the show.
Riders Against The Storm: This husband-and-wife duo is a well-known fixture of the Austin music scene.

Black Sheep Lodge's Blues Beer Garden will sling Tito's Handmade Vodka and Meanwhile Brewing beverages. Find the watering hole to the left of the stage.
H-E-B's sponsorship will bring a slew of interactive activities for event-goers to enjoy. Expect freebies + more surprises from the Texan grocer.
