CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — It’s a big night for concertgoers as Shania Twain brings her Queen Of Me 2023 tour to Blossom Music Center -- and the venue is working to prepare fans for “heavy concert traffic” ahead of the sold-out show Friday night.

“Arrive early,” Blossom advised guests in a Facebook post Friday morning. “To ensure that you see the entire show, please arrive early. Please do not wait until show time as you will risk missing part of the concert.”

Blossom also lists the following schedule ahead of Twain’s performance:

  • 2 p.m. Early general admission parking opens
  • 4 p.m. All parking opens
  • 5 p.m. Plaza doors / ticket gates open
  • 6 p.m. Gates open
  • 7:30 p.m. Show begins

NOTE: Blossom says the listed times “are all approximate.”

Early parking is $20 for all fans. Those with VIP and Premiere parking “will be queued up separately” from general admission parking.

Earlier in the week, Blossom Music Center had announced the sold-out concert with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss was canceled "due to the unforeseen and unfortunate impact of the Canadian forest fires on the air quality in the Akron and Summit County area."

While an Air Quality Alert remains in effect for Summit County due to the wildfire smoke throughout the day Friday, Blossom Music Center has not given any indication that Twain's concert will be canceled.
