Summer is shaping up to be a rich time for Gwinnett music fans as the Arena at Gwinnett Center continues to lure A-list acts to its facility.
Rockers Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have booked a date at the Arena for Aug. 13. Tickets for the event go on sale May 31.
Still in its salad days, the Arena has already attracted Bruce Springsteen, George Strait, Avril Lavigne and Coldplay.
ZZ Top and Ted Nugent are set for June 21 and the triple bill of Journey, Styx and REO Speedwagon will play on July 26.
Mariah Carey had been in negotiations to take her concert tour to the Arena, but has instead opted to head to Philips Arena in downtown Atlanta.
Tom Petty, though, won't back down.
"It is confirmed," said Gwinnett Center marketing manager Marcia Powell. "We knew it was coming, but we thought it was happening next week."
Ticket prices for the show will be $35, $45 and $58 for floor seats.
"We have something in June, something in July and something in August," Powell said. "There are a couple of things on the horizon, but nothing we can confirm."
