MATTHEWS – The Town of Matthews Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resource Department announces the launch of two new indoor entertainment series in 2026.
The Fullwood Amp’d Concert Series and the Matthews Movie Series aim to provide quality entertainment inside the Fullwood Theater at the Matthews Community Center, 100 E. McDowell St.
Fullwood Amp’d Concert Series
The Town of Matthews is turning up the volume indoors with the debut of a rebranded concert experience: Fullwood Amp’d.
Previously known as the Color of Jazz series, Fullwood Amp’d expands beyond jazz to showcase a wider variety of musical genres and appeal to more audiences. Concertgoers can enjoy four tribute bands throughout the season.
Fullwood Amp’d lineup:
• Feb. 13: Chicago Rewired – A tribute to Chicago
• April 10: Carolina Troubadours – A tribute to George Strait
• June 5: Petty Rewind – A tribute to Tom Petty
• Aug. 14: REO Survivor – A tribute to REO Speedwagon, Survivor and Loverboy
Concerts begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Light concessions will be available for purchase.
General admission costs $15. Preferred seating (center section, first five rows) costs $25. Seating is unassigned. A limited number of preferred seats will be available.
Tickets are available at https://matthewsfun.recdesk.com/Community/Page?pageId=41682.
Matthews Movie Series
In a nod to the Matthews Summer Concert & Movie Series previously held in Stumptown Park, the town is bringing movie showings back with an indoor twist.
From January through April, audiences can enjoy four film screenings as part of the new Matthews Movie Series inside the Fullwood Theater.
In addition to general showings, sensory-friendly screenings will be offered for two family films. These showings will feature slightly dimmed house lights, reduced audio levels, and the freedom for attendees, especially younger viewers or those with sensory sensitivities, to move around the theater as needed.
Matthews Movie Series lineup:
• Jan. 3: “Inside Out 2” – 11 a.m. (sensory-friendly) & 2 p.m. (general showing)
• Feb. 7: “Creed” – 7 p.m.
• March 6: “Iron Man” – 7 p.m. (kickoff event for Matthews Comic Con)
• April 4: “Lilo & Stitch” (2025) – 11 a.m. (sensory-friendly) & 2 p.m. (general showing)
General admission costs $5. Light concessions will be available for purchase.
