Accepted Answer

The August 10&#44; 2026 show at Freeman Arts Pavilion in Selbyville&#44; Delaware is part of The Fray’s Summer of Light Tour&#44; their 2026 North American run supporting new album “A Light That Waits.” It is billed as “The Fray – Summer of Light Tour with Dashboard Confessional&#44;” bringing both bands to Freeman’s open-air stage for a full evening concert.

Question 2

When is the Selbyville concert and what time does it start?

Accepted Answer

The Fray and Dashboard Confessional perform at Freeman Arts Pavilion on Monday&#44; August 10&#44; 2026. Freeman’s event page lists the show time as 6:00 PM&#44; with gates opening at 4:45 PM. Shazam mentions 7:30 PM and JamBase notes 7:00 PM&#44; but the official venue listing is 6:00 PM&#44; so that is the time you should plan around.

Question 7

How can I get cheap tickets for the Selbyville show?

Accepted Answer

To keep costs down&#44; focus on standard reserved or lawn tickets rather than VIP packages&#44; which are priced higher due to meet & greets and extras. Buy through the primary venue link as soon as the general on‑sale opens to secure face‑value seats&#44; especially in lawn or rear reserved sections&#44; before relying on higher‑priced resale. When comparing resale options (SeatGeek&#44; Vivid Seats&#44; CashorTrade)&#44; sort by total price—including fees—and look at the lowest‑priced listings first to avoid overpaying for only slightly better views. You can further reduce total costs by carpooling to split parking&#44; eating before you arrive instead of buying all food at the venue&#44; and setting a firm budget for drinks and merch.

Question 8

When do tickets go on sale, and are there presales?

Accepted Answer

TMPresale notes an artist presale for Selbyville starting Wednesday&#44; January 28&#44; 2026 at 10:00 AM EST and ending Thursday&#44; January 29 at 10:00 PM. The Freeman Arts event page indicates that tickets will go on sale at a later date&#44; lining up with the tour’s general public on‑sale beginning January 30&#44; 2026 at 10:00 AM local time for U.S. shows. Ticketmaster’s tour help page confirms that several presales (artist&#44; promoter&#44; cardmember) are available for Summer of Light dates and that strict six‑ticket limits apply at Freeman Arts (orders above six tickets per name&#44; email&#44; or card are automatically refunded). Taking advantage of presales&#44; when available&#44; gives you access to better seats at face value before high‑demand sections sell out.

Question 9

Is the Freeman Arts Pavilion show part of the larger Summer of Light Tour, and where does it fit in the schedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes&#44; Freeman Arts Pavilion is one of the U.S. dates on The Fray’s 2026 Summer of Light Tour&#44; which spans roughly 28 shows. Concert and tour listings place the Selbyville show on Monday&#44; August 10&#44; 2026&#44; following St. Augustine Amphitheatre on August 8 and preceding Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia&#44; MD on August 14. The tour begins in May in Moncton&#44; New Brunswick and concludes August 29 in Chicago&#44; with Dashboard Confessional as a core special guest and Colony House joining on many dates&#44; including Freeman Arts. By mid‑August&#44; the setlist and production are typically well refined from months of touring.

Question 10

What kind of setlist and performance can I expect at Freeman Arts Pavilion?

Accepted Answer

Tour materials describe Summer of Light shows as career‑spanning&#44; mixing The Fray’s biggest hits with new material from “A Light That Waits.” You can expect songs from early albums—especially “How to Save a Life&#44;” “Over My Head (Cable Car)&#44;” and “You Found Me”—alongside fresh tracks tied to the tour’s themes of light&#44; hope&#44; and emotional clarity. Their live performances emphasize emotive vocals&#44; piano‑ and guitar‑driven arrangements&#44; and big sing‑along choruses&#44; which fit well in an intimate outdoor pavilion like Freeman Arts. Dashboard Confessional and Colony House will add their own sets of emo and indie anthems&#44; making the night a three‑band alt‑rock showcase rather than a short festival slot.

Question 11

How do I get to Freeman Arts Pavilion and what about parking?

Accepted Answer

Freeman Arts Pavilion is in Selbyville&#44; Delaware&#44; serving the coastal communities near Fenwick Island&#44; Bethany Beach&#44; and Ocean City. Visitors commonly drive to the venue and use on‑site or nearby parking areas&#44; with information provided on Freeman’s “Plan Your Visit” and FAQ pages. Because summer shows can draw large beach‑season crowds&#44; arriving early helps you find parking and pass through security without stress. Carpooling with friends or family can reduce parking costs and make arrival and departure easier.

Question 12

What should I bring and how can I make the most of the evening?

Accepted Answer

Bring your mobile ticket (most Freeman Arts events use digital delivery)&#44; a valid ID&#44; and only essentials allowed under venue policies—typically a small bag&#44; payment method&#44; and necessary medications; the pavilion’s FAQ covers bag policy&#44; security measures&#44; and cashless points of sale. Dress for a Delaware summer evening outdoors: light&#44; breathable clothing&#44; comfortable shoes for walking on grass or gravel&#44; and a light jacket or rain layer in case of coastal breezes or showers. Aim to arrive close to gate time at 4:45 PM so you have time to park&#44; explore the grounds&#44; and get a good spot before Colony House and Dashboard Confessional take the stage ahead of The Fray. To keep the night enjoyable and budget-friendly&#44; enjoy an early meal before the show&#44; set a spending cap for drinks and merch&#44; and then relax into the experience—hearing three bands against the backdrop of a summer evening at Freeman Arts Pavilion is what this Summer of Light stop is all about.
