WILMINGTON — Show announcements have begun for next year’s concert season at two downtown venues.

American R&B band Earth, Wind and Fire will be coming to Live Oak Bank Pavilion in May 2026 and comedian Daniel Tosh is headed to Wilson Center next October.

Having performed since 1969, Earth, Wind and Fire scored eight number-one hits, sold more than 100-million albums worldwide and earned multiple Grammy Awards. The group has been inducted in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and received Kennedy Center Honors. It will bring its soul and funk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion on May 17 with tickets on sale Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m.

Comedian Daniel Tosh — best known for the Comedy Central show “Tosh.0,” which ran from 2009 through 2020 — is headed to Wilson Center in downtown Wilmington. Tosh has been performing comedy festivals, appeared on multiple late night shows and also in films and other TV shows throughout his career.
