Outdoor patio concerts return with full season lineup of local favorites and regional acts
Saturday nights in Folsom are getting a seasonal upgrade as Back Bistro at the Palladio has officially announced its 2026 Live Music series, bringing a full slate of weekly performances to its outdoor patio beginning this weekend.
Set to run throughout the warmer months and into the fall, the series will feature live music every Saturday night from 6 to 9 p.m., pairing local talent with the restaurant’s food, drinks and open-air dining atmosphere. The kickoff begins May 2 and continues with a rotating lineup that highlights a mix of returning crowd favorites and new acts from across the region.
Back Bistro’s announcement emphasizes the experience as much as the music itself, inviting guests to enjoy dinner and handcrafted cocktails while taking in live performances under the evening sky at the Palladio. The setting has become a familiar gathering place for weekend crowds, with patio seating offering a relaxed, social environment centered around live entertainment.
The 2026 schedule opens May 2 with “Liora” featuring Kasch Bowman, followed by The Stance on May 9 and a dual performance by Jason Weeks and Justin Barnes on May 16. Ed Wilson Duo takes the stage May 23, while Love the Present closes out the month on May 30.
June continues the momentum with Bridget Marie and Rob Lopes performing June 6, followed by another appearance from Jason Weeks and Justin Barnes on June 13. The Locals are slated for June 20, and “Liora” returns alongside Kasch Bowman on June 27.
After a summer break, the series resumes in September with Bridget Marie and Rob Lopes on Sept. 5, Wealth of Nations on Sept. 12, Easy Dub on Sept. 19 and Dad Bod on Sept. 26. October rounds out the season with B-Side Band on Oct. 3, The Vintage Tees on Oct. 10, Dog Park Justice on Oct. 17 and a final performance by Love the Present on Oct. 24.
Back Bistro’s selection of performers reflects a wide range of styles, from rock and pop to reggae and acoustic sets, giving guests a different sound and energy each week while maintaining a consistent Saturday night destination. The offering comes just in time as the seasonal mid week concert series at Palladio will not take place this year.
Reservations are encouraged for patio seating during the performances, and guests can secure a table by visiting the restaurant’s website. Additional details about the series and reservations are available at backbistro.com.
