Since its opening in summer 2023, downtown Clearwater’s BayCare Sound has kept its age demographic relatively vast by hosting scorching music festivals (Clearwater Jazz Holiday, 97X Next Big Thing), a Beatle, and nostalgia acts that dominate our parents’ radios.

Mainstream pop has yet to grace the Sound’s stage in a massive way (ahem, Doechii), but the venue (part of a $84 million makeover at Coachman Park) hosts its first-ever EDM concert this weekend. And just like in Ybor City, which regularly hosts EDM at The Ritz, the venue’s layout won’t include a single foldable chair on the floor.

“We have the flexibility to provide eight different venue seating configurations from total reserved to total general admission, and everything else in between,” Bobby Rossi, The BayCare Sound’s Executive Vice President & Chief Programming Officer told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.

“That flexibility allows us to accommodate any artists’ desire—the audience standing and dancing or seated or both. That combined with the flexibility to have anywhere from 4,000 to 9,000 person capacity in this amazing setting with state-of-the-art production, video and more creates an experience for the fans and artist alike.”

This weekend’s show is sure to be something fresh for Of The Trees, the Colorado-based producer born Tyler Coomb who recently blew up a two-night stint at his home state’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Tickets to see Of the Trees play the BayCare Sound in Clearwater on Saturday, Feb. 22 are still available and start at $45.
