Concerts will continue to be free and outdoors, with performances taking place at Weigand Yard outside Union Street Market. With abundant indoor space in addition to Weigand Yard, hosting the series at Electric Works also ensures performances will not be canceled or postponed because of inclement weather.<\/p>\n<p>Officials from Electric Works, ACPL and Visit Fort Wayne (VFW) were joined by Kyle Haller, the longtime organizer and creative force behind Rock the Plaza, to announce the move and updated name of Rock the Works at a musical performance on campus yesterday as part of VFW\u2019s annual Be a Tourist event. They also announced two Rock the Works performances still to come in 2026 \u2013 Alicia Pyle and the Locals on Sept. 27, and the Todd Harrold Band on Oct. 11.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to carry this downtown entertainment institution forward as Rock the Works,\u201d said Kelly Geiser, owner and director of venue operations for Four-Thirty Venue Group at Electric Works. \u201cKyle Haller and the Allen County Library team have built something incredibly special over the years for Fort Wayne, and we can\u2019t wait to honor and build on that history as we carry it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After nearly two decades and almost 300 concerts as one of Fort Wayne&#8217;s favorite summer traditions, Rock the Plaza put on what organizers thought would be its final performance in July. Electric Works officials reached out to event organizers in the hopes of keeping the series alive by relocating it to Electric Works.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133103-2\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133103-2\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks2-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133103-2\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Electric Works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133104\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133104\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-133104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tRockTheWorks1-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Electric Works.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cElectric Works will make the ideal new home for Rock the Plaza,\u201d Haller said. \u201cIt\u2019s a campus with creativity and culture at its heart, and it provides the perfect canvas for its new future as Rock the Works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRock the Plaza has created countless memories over the years and has played an important role in supporting local musicians and bringing our community together,\u201d added Susan P.
