Doylestown Township canceled Wednesday's Thompson Performing Arts Series concert after what the township described as an NWS Extreme Heat Warning, with the National Weather Service forecasting heat index values up to 103 degrees in the area.
The township said it made the call to protect residents, performers, vendors, and staff. Studio Two, a Beatles tribute act listed on the series schedule published in June, was set to perform. The township said the band cannot reschedule this year but is expected to return in 2027.
The free Wednesday-night concert series at the C&N Amphitheater in Central Park, 425 Wells Road, still has six shows left on the calendar. All concerts begin at 7 p.m.
Remaining 2026 schedule
- Wednesday, July 22 — Legacy (dance/party band)
- Wednesday, July 29 — AM Radio (1960s/70s tribute)
- Wednesday, Aug. 5 — Slippery When Wet (Bon Jovi tribute)
- Wednesday, Aug. 12 — Rock This Town
- Wednesday, Aug. 26 — River of Dreams (Billy Joel tribute, rescheduled from July 1)
- Sunday, Sept. 20 — Cherry Lane Band at the Fall Food Truck Festival
The series wraps with the Sept. 20 Fall Food Truck Festival, a departure from the standard Wednesday-evening format.
