Get ready for unforgettable summer nights at the National Automobile Museum’s 2026 Summer Concert Series, where iconic bands and the songs that defined generations come alive once again. Enjoy an amazing collection of your favorite artists from the past, performing the music you grew up listening to—and dancing to—as we take you on a joyful trip down memory lane. Located on our outdoor pavilion, only steps away from the beautiful Truckee River, each concert promises high energy, great vibes, and timeless hits. These concerts will sell out, so secure your tickets today!

For over twenty-five years, “Creedence Clearwater Revival” has held the title of “America’s Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band.” No other group in pop music history has achieved the crossover success that “CCR” did. Although they have disbanded, it does not change the fact that their music is timeless. Fans of all ages sing and dance to their songs just as much as they did a quarter of a century ago. “Bad Moon Rising” is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting tribute bands around today. Lead vocalist Mark McPhail captivates audiences with show-stopping performances, totally capturing the spirit that is “CCR.” Whether you’re a fan of rock, country folk, or rhythm & blues, CCR had it all and “Bad Moon Rising” delivers! Quite simply, they are the only show of its kind!
