After hosting an impressive slate of outdoor concerts last summer, including Gov’t Mule, Ted Nugent, Lettuce, Everclear, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Lonestar, Warner Vineyards in Paw Paw is set to up the ante for 2026 in more ways than one.

Not only will the unique, 2,200-plus-capacity Southwest Michigan amphitheater sport a dynamic and larger new stage, but Warner Vineyards plans to expand its concert offerings by hosting nearly seven dozen shows, including tour stops by Grand Funk Railroad, Parmalee, The Marshall Tucker Band, Tab Benoit, Rick Ross, Blue Oyster Cult and more.
“In 2025, we did 69 shows,” said president and owner Patrick Warner. “We hope to book 80 shows this year to help pay for our expansion. … We hope Warner Vineyards becomes Southwest Michigan’s premier outdoor music venue.”

Warner Vineyards first began offering live music several years ago and began booking national acts in 2023.
To accommodate even more touring bands, Warner Vineyards plans to build a new stage that’s 50 feet wide and 32 feet deep, with a 24-foot-high roof.
The amphitheater also is offering a season pass covering all concerts – a pass that currently costs $375 (with the price going up $25 every month through April). Get the tickets and details online here.
The venue continues to book shows for the season, with a host of popular tribute acts (Eagles, Pink Floyd/Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, The Eagles, Tom Petty) already in the lineup. View the current schedule at jl-entertainment.com/warner-vineyards.
The village of Paw Paw recently approved the stage plans; the site plan for “other projects” at Warner Vineyards is up for approval on March 5.
