If you thought heavy-hitters like George Thorogood, Cole Swindell or Patti LaBelle coming to Selbyville for the Freeman Arts Pavilion this summer was impressive enough — you haven't seen anything yet.  

Freeman Arts just revealed comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld — star of the Netflix Pop-Tart comedy "Unfrosted" that drops Friday, May 3 (with Jim Gaffigan and Melissa McCarthy) — plus country star Tyler Hubbard, and several other notable performers as part of the Selbyville venue's new wave of shows for its summer concert series.  

Tickets for these newly announced shows go on sale to the public Thursday, May 2, and Friday, May 3, at freemanarts.org. On-sale times will vary throughout the day and interested attendees should check individual event pages for exact times.
