After the May 29 Downtown Live concert with Liquid Pleasure was postponed due to inclement weather, the series will return on Thursday — but instead of taking the East Main Street stage in front of the Bulloch County Courthouse, We Got The Beat will perform songs from the '80s, '90s and 2000s inside the Averitt Center's Emma Kelly Theater. With inclement weather conditions in the forecast, city officials decided on Tuesday to move the concert indoors, which means seating is limited and will be first come, first served. The free concert is set to begin at 7 p.m. 

The rain cancellation last month forced Liquid Pleasure, who also performed at Downtown Live in 2023 and 2024, to delay their show, which has been rescheduled for Aug. 21. With crowd-pleasing covers of modern groups like the Black Eyed Peas and Outkast to Motown staples like The Temptations and The Supremes, there's a song by Liquid Pleasure for everyone to enjoy.

The '90s Kids Superfly Tribute Band comes to Downtown Live on June 26. Covering genres spanning pop, dance, grunge and a touch of hip-hop, '90s Kids Superfly Tribute helps bring the decade to life. With vibrant costumes, nostalgic props and high-energy performances, their show is a full-on '90s experience.

Admission is free, and food trucks and beverage vendors will open at 6 p.m. on the day of each concert, along with several downtown restaurants within walking distance of the concert stage.
