Arkells announce summer headline show at Buffalo Outer Harbor

Saturday, Aug. 12, with support from special guest K.Flay

The Buffalo Waterfront Management Group (BWMG) and Funtime Presents announced Arkells will perform at Buffalo Outer Harbor on Saturday, Aug. 12, as part of the Seneca Casinos Outer Harbor Concert Series.

A press release stated, “This special show at the Lakeside Event Lawn presented by Upstate Honda Dealers, is slated to be Arkells’ biggest headline date of the summer, and will feature support from multi-Platinum, two-time Grammy-Award nominated artist K.Flay.”

√ Listen to Arkells’ No. 1 hit “You Can Get It” feat. K.Flay here.

Arkells are no strangers to Buffalo – having most recently sold-out three back-to-back nights at the Town Ballroom in 2022.

“Buffalo has always felt like a home away from home,” frontman Max Kerman said. “We’ve had so many incredible nights in town. From opening for The Tragically Hip and The Who, to our own shows at the Town Ballroom and Canalside, it's always an A-plus experience. If you’re looking for a big outdoor Arkells show this summer, Buffalo is the place to be.”

The show begins at 7 p.m., and gates open at 6 p.m. Artist presale begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday, May 3, with Seneca Gaming Club members presale starting 24 hours later.

General tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 5, and start at $28.50 for general admission, or $58.50 for VIP (plus fees). Tickets and show information are available at https://tixr.com/e/68840.

Arkells with special guest K.Flay join previously announced shows for the Seneca Casinos Outer Harbor Concert Series, including The Gaslight Anthem and Jimmy Eat World/Manchester Orchestra. Future shows will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets to the Seneca Casinos Outer Harbor Concert Series are available here.
