Legendary Seattle rock club The Crocodile is opening its new waterfront concert series with the spooky guitar sounds of Hermanos Gutiérrez.
Oodalalee: Concerts at Pier 62 will take place at Seattle’s Waterfront Park, south of the famous Pike Place market and managed by the non-profit Friends of Waterfront Park. Oodalalee marks the first large-scale, ticketed concert series of its kind at Pier 62 since its renovation and opening last year.
Pier 62 holds a capacity of 2,500 fans and features “a stage with views of the city’s stunning downtown skyline and mountain ranges as the backdrop,” according to a press release.
Hermanos Gutiérrez will open the Oodalalee concert series on June 1 followed by performances from Silversun Pickups, Watchhouse (f.k.a. Mandolin Orange), Del the Funky Homosapien and Dan the Automator, Cosmo Sheldrake, Blind Pilot & John Craigie, Fruit Bats, Otoboke Beaver, Queer Pier Pride and Gimme Gimme Disco. Additional performances will be announced soon.
“Concerts at Pier 62 were such a vital part of Seattle’s music ecosystem. I have warm memories of attending shows on the waterfront and know many others in our community do as well,” said The Crocodile’s creative director Hunter Motto in a statement. “We’re overjoyed to bring our favorite local, national, and international artists to Pier 62 — it’s a magical and historic place.”
Joy Shigaki, president and CEO of Friends of Waterfront Park, added in a statement that the city of Seattle “has always cherished live music at the waterfront, and Oodalalee adds a new chapter to that tradition.”
Tickets for most shows are on sale now. See the full lineup and dates for Oodalalee below:
