Concerts
The Pavilion has hosted Elton John, Procol Harum, Elvis Presley, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Jackson 5, Bob Dylan, The Band, Prince & The New Power Generation, Madonna, Genesis, and Yes.
Prince held several shows at Hofheinz Pavilion on his Musicology Tour in 2004, but most current performances are by less popular artists.
Popular music concerts are still held at Hofheinz, often when a major act decides against playing at the larger (and ticketing-industry controlled) venues in town. Among the recent examples have been concerts by more recent acts like P!nk, Taylor Swift (both in 2009), Chris Brown and Katy Perry (both in 2011).

Famous quotes containing the word concerts:
“The concerts you enjoy together
Neighbors you annoy together
Children you destroy together
That make marriage a joy”
—Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
“If you love music, hear it; go to operas, concerts and pay fiddlers to play to you; but I insist on your neither piping nor fiddling yourself. It puts a gentleman in a very frivolous, contemptible light.... Few things would mortify me more than to see you bearing a part in a concert, with a fiddle under your chin, or a pipe in your mouth.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
