The East Hampton Village Foundation has announced the first four concerts of its summer 2026 Tuesdays at Main Beach series.

This year marks the fifth season of the popular events. The free weekly concerts start on July 7 and continue through Sept. 8. Concerts start at 6 p.m. and conclude at 8 p.m. Parking lots will open at 5 p.m. for non-permit holders.

This year’s lineup features a variety of musical genres and both local and New York City bands. Candy Shop will perform on July 7, followed by Yacht Pockets on July 14. Hello Brooklyn will play on July 21, and Nancy Atlas is the performer on July 28.

The concert series is produced by the foundation in partnership with the village and has become one of the most well-attended recurring summer events on the South Fork. The foundation is welcoming new sponsors for the 2026 season, with sponsorship opportunities remaining available through Sunday.

 “We’re thrilled to bring Tuesdays on Main Beach back to East Hampton for our fifth year,” Bradford Billet, chairman and chief executive officer of the East Hampton Village Foundation, said in a statement. “We’ve got great music, good vibes, and family-friendly, multigenerational fun right on the sand.”

“Stay tuned to The Star next week to learn who’ll be appearing the rest of the season,” Mr. Billet continued. “If we’re lucky, you’ll catch a T-shirt or a glimpse of whales and dolphins offshore while we enjoy some incredible local talent — and just maybe a few surprises along the way.”
