We have officially finished our Levitt AMP Downtown Jackson Music Series for 2026! For our last concert, we held The Ocho’s concert in historic Smith Park, and it was the perfect conclusion for our first year putting on something like this. Thank you to EVERYONE who came out, danced, sang along, and supported us as we attempted to create spaces and host a community by bringing free live performances by some INCREDIBLE artists, and you helped make that happen.

Our team at DJP is happy to host these Levitt AMP concerts for the city of Jackson, but it is a HUGE undertaking. We wouldn’t even be able to call these gatherings concerts without the heart and soul of the musicians themselves. Headliners and openers alike, they left everything on the stage, brought their own style, their own charisma, and made these concerts worth coming to.

🎶 What do the B-52s, R.E.M., Pylon, Drive-By Truckers, The Ocho and Widespread Panic all have in common? They all hail from Athens, GA, the "Liverpool of the South". But only one is playing tonight in Smith 🌳Park!

Join us from 5-8 p.m. for the last Levitt AMP Downtown Jackson Music Series concert of the year featuring The Ocho. 🎸

The weather will be cool and the music will be 🔥 with Mississippi's own Pothole Paradise kicking it off!

Bri’s Banging Burgers, I Be Dog Gone and Jerk City Grille LLC will be cooking as well, or order the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" special for four for advance pickup from Mayflower Cafe. Hal and Mal's-Jackson, MS is manning the bar, sponsored by Capital City Beverages, Inc.

Bring your lawn chairs and your friends, and give a shoutout to our sponsor, Huntington National Bank and our partner Community Foundation for Mississippi. And remember, !
