You remember the sound before you remember the song. That guitar riff from “Mr. Brightside” cutting through the mix, or the first synth hit of “Toxic” dropping just as the lights shift. Y2K Kids Band brings that whole era back to Pittsboro this October, playing the Philip H. Kohl MOSAIC Family Commons lawn under the stars. This is the kind of night where you hear a Bruno Mars hook slide into a Katy Perry chorus, and suddenly you’re back in your car on a Friday night with the radio cranked.
The show happens Friday, October 16th at 9pm. MOSAIC at Chatham Park sits at 367 Freedom Parkway, right in the center of a walkable district lined with restaurants, shops, and that 1-mile trail that connects it all. This is outdoor lawn seating, so bring a blanket or chair and settle in for a set that moves from pop-rock singalongs to hip-hop club bangers without missing a beat.
Show Details
Doors open on the commons lawn at MOSAIC, where the vibe stays relaxed and the energy builds as the sun sets. The venue books regular concerts and community events throughout the season, and this Friday is built for a crowd that grew up with TRL countdowns and late-night radio runs. Since seating is casual, you can post up close or hang back near the trail. For the latest details on doors, tickets, and parking, check MOSAIC’s official event listing.
About Y2K Kids Band
Y2K Kids Band is a six-piece ensemble built to cover the full decade. Shannon Remley and Ray Hartsfield share lead vocals, with Ray doubling on guitar. Doug Grabowski anchors the low end on bass and adds vocal support, while G K Via handles lead guitar lines and harmonies. Rob Bowser runs keyboards and synths, locking in the electronic textures that defined the era’s pop and dance tracks. Mike Graci drives the rhythm section on drums and electronic percussion, layering in the programmed beats that powered everything from club floors to car stereos. Together, they move through pop, pop rock, alternative, hip-hop, R&B, and dance without breaking character, covering the radio hits and deeper cuts that made the 2000s feel like its own universe.
What You Will Hear
Expect the kind of night where you might hear “Yeah!” into “Since U Been Gone,” or “Hey Ya!” rolling into “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.” The setlist pulls from pop royalty like Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, rock staples like The Killers and Paramore, hip-hop anthems from Nelly and Eminem, and dance-floor locks from Rihanna and Lady Gaga. You could catch “Hot in Herre,” “Hips Don’t Lie,” “The Middle,” “Poker Face,” “Sex on Fire,” or “Uptown Funk” depending on how the crowd responds. The mix stays wide, moving from singalong choruses to bass-heavy hooks without ever settling into one lane.
About the Venue
MOSAIC at Chatham Park is a live-work-play community built around open outdoor commons and consistent programming. The Philip H. Kohl Family Commons lawn hosts concerts, movie nights, fitness classes, and markets throughout the year, with a summer music series that draws locals and visitors looking for accessible, quality entertainment. The surrounding district includes dining, retail, and residential space, all connected by a walking trail that keeps foot traffic steady. The atmosphere leans energetic but approachable, with a small-town feel that supports both casual drop-ins and planned outings. Many events here require free advance tickets, so checking the MOSAIC calendar ahead of time is smart.
Plan Your Night
Arrive early to grab a spot on the lawn and explore the shops and restaurants within walking distance. The venue encourages blankets and lawn chairs, so pack light and settle in before the band starts. If you want to make it a full evening, the trail and commons offer plenty of space to move around before and after the set. This is the kind of show where the songs do the heavy lifting, and the crowd brings the rest. For the most current information on tickets, entry, and logistics, visit MOSAIC’s official event page.
