This Friday, May 22nd, enjoy an evening with The Band of Oz as the Oak Island Free Concert Series kicks off Summer 2026!

The Band of Oz was formed in 1967 as a part-time band playing fraternity parties and high school proms all over the South.
In 1977 the band went on the road full time. Since that time the band has made an exceptional name for itself throughout the Southeast by playing the top clubs and corporate parties, and getting excellent reviews along the way.
For several years the group has been a guest on most of the major beach concerts in the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia.
The Band of Oz is one of the most successful groups in the Southeast, and continues to get the very best reviews from the top people in the entertainment business. The band now features a full horn section to total a dynamic eight-member group.
They still perform well over two-hundred shows per year for corporate events, festivals, concerts, wedding receptions, and many other public and private events.

The sun is out, the fun is back, and the “Bands by the Beach” are once again ready to rock, groove, swing and swoon their way through the soundtrack of your perfect summer! For 16 weeks on Fridays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Middleton Park Amphitheater, we turn the amps up to “11” and come together for the annual Town of Oak Island Summer Concert Series.
Full series information, concert dates, and scheduled bands are listed below, along with a calendar.
