Several shows at a north Fulton concert stage remain canceled through the fall as Gov. Brian Kemp announced venues to reopen July 1.

KIDZ BOP is the first scheduled show at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre on Aug. 1 followed by a Daryl Hall and John Oates concert on Aug. 13.

Artists canceled shows at the Alpharetta venue after the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in March. In May, Bob Dylan announced the cancellation of his summer tour. He had been scheduled to perform in Alpharetta on July 3.

Venue management for Live Nation, which operates the amphitheatre, said a detailed plan for reopening is not fully developed yet.

Many concerts have been rescheduled to next summer. They include the Dave Matthews Band, Backstreet Boys, The Doobie Brothers and Alanis Morrissette.
