Spokane, Wash. – Riverfront Park contracted Friday with a new concert promoter for the annual Gesa Pavilion Summer Concert Series.
Mammoth, Inc., in conjunction with its partner Knitting Factory Entertainment, will oversee the concert series by booking the artists, promoting and marketing the concerts regionally, and managing production and ticketing through Ticketmaster. They are committed to at least 6 concerts in the summer series, running from June 1 – September 30 (working around dedicated dates for annual community events in the park).
Together, Riverfront, Mammoth, Inc., and Knitting Factory Entertainment announced one of the shows planned for the 2027 Gesa Summer Concert series, Cody Jinks and The Tonedeaf Hippies playing on June 18, 2027. Tickets go on sale on Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m.
Mammoth, Inc. has an established Pacific Northwest network of venues, including Marymoor Live (Seattle), Cuthbert Amphitheater (Eugene) and Roseland Theatre (Portland), While Knitting Factory brings Knitting Factory (Spokane), Outlaw Field (Boise), Wine Country Amphitheater (Walla Walla) among others. Regional booking relationships like this strengthen artist negotiations and increase opportunities to attract touring acts to Spokane.
“The Gesa Pavilion has become a premier outdoor concert venue. We are excited to partner with a local production team to expand our concert programming and deliver exceptional concert experiences,” said Jon Moog, director of Riverfront Spokane. “Mammoth understands and values the need to balance incredible concerts with public access for community events, and are committed to delivering memorable entertainment experiences in our downtown park.”
“This is an exciting time, and we could not be more excited about working with the City and the team on such a special venue. Most venues have one promoter, but we love the idea of working together so the Lilac City gets the best of both with Mammoth and Knitting Factory Entertainment,” said Sean Stiegel, president of Mammoth’s Northeast Region.
