Woodland Park Zoo releases lineup for ZooTunes 2023

You’ll have to wait until March 3 — at 10 a.m. — to buy tickets to the ZooTunes summer concert series, but the musical lineup has just been released.

For newcomers to the area, ZooTunes is the Woodland Park Zoo’s musical contribution to summer. It has been going on for almost four decades.

ZooTunes is a key fundraising event for the zoo, with proceeds supporting animal care, local and global conservation programs, and education programs.
