United We Rock Concert Series

Get ready to elevate your summer with music, community vibes, and ice-cold craft brews, as Vermilion River Beer proudly introduces the United We Rock Concert Series, launching on Friday, June 13, 2025, in the heart of Downtown Danville.
This exciting, rebranded series builds on Danville’s rich history of live music, combining top-tier talent with a fresh start under a new name. Partnering with the United Way of Danville Area, this event is poised to be your weekend go-to for entertainment, all in support of a great cause.

A Partnership for the Community
The United We Rock Concert Series isn’t just about the tunes and the brews – it’s about coming together to make a difference. The series kicks off on lucky Friday the 13th with Toyota of Danville as our lead sponsor. Concerts will continue every Friday throughout the summer, except for major community events like “First Fridays” and “Balloons Over Vermilion.”
A portion of every dollar raised, from sponsor proceeds to sales and tips, will directly benefit the United Way of Danville Area, fueling programs that support youth development, food security, community health, and financial stability.
“Helping each other creates something bigger than a single business,” said Pete Blackmon, Partner at Vermilion River Beer. “Teaming up with United Way just feels right. We’ll bring the beers and vibes, and they’ll rally volunteers to make this a success.”

Echoing this sentiment, Angie Lazzell, CEO of United Way of Danville Area, added, “This collaboration is about more than the music; it’s about empowering lives. United We Rock proves what the magic of nonprofits and local businesses can achieve together. We invite everyone to take part and celebrate while making a meaningful impact.”

Your 2025 Summer Lineup – Bands TBA shortly
Mark your calendars because these Friday nights promise unforgettable experiences. Here are the key dates for your summer playlist:

June 13 (Kickoff)
June 20 & June 27
July 18 & July 25
August 8, 15, 22, and the Grand Finale on August 29

While the future entertainment epicenter at Garden at 107 Vermilion is under construction, the concerts will be held across the street as a perfect gathering place for music lovers.

Sponsorships Available
Sponsor levels vary and will include Social Media, Print and Radio Marketing. Interested Sponsors can contact Peter at Vermilion River Beer Company at (217) 260-4548.

Why This Event is a Must-See
The United We Rock Concert Series is more than just an entertainment event; it’s a catalyst for unity. Attendees can expect high-energy performances from acclaimed bands, paired with the incredible taste of Vermilion River Beer’s specialty brews. But the best part? Every sip and every song contributes to funding local initiatives that uplift the Danville Area.
Whether you’re a music aficionado or someone who simply loves being part of something great, these concerts offer a chance to enjoy a stellar lineup while giving back to the community.
