Outdoor Venues In Full Force, Symphony Finale, Robyn S. Remixer, Music Lives Here Turns Seven, Taste Of Omaha and More!
Saturday and Sunday Live Music Lineup
We used to listen to a lot of Cake, didn’t we? I just went down the rabbit hole and damn I know a lot of Cake songs. If they play half of these-this show will be wild. Supposedly they have a new album coming out this fall. Interesting. Will they play any new songs on Sunday at The Astro Amphitheater? We will see.
Sounds like Breaking Benjamin has a new album in the pipeline, so a tour makes sense. The long running rock band will bring along another long running rock band Staind. Staind frontman Aaron Lewis is no stranger to Stir Cove where the co-headlining bands will be on Saturday. Opening will be popular hard rock band Wage War.
It is a second night of EDM at Barnato as Laidback Luke takes over on Saturday night. The Dutch DJ is known for reviving the Robin S song “Show Me Love” in 2009 and charting with that. I used to dance to the original version of that in the clubs fifteen years before that. Yikes. He also competes in world kung-fu championships, so do not request anything stupid.
The Omaha Symphony finishes off their 2024-2025 season with Disney Pride in Concert. They will be joined by the River City Mixed Choir for timeless Disney songs, video from Disney productions and stories from members of the choir. This will happen on Sunday at Holland Center.
Other happenings this weekend include Taste of Omaha on Saturday and Sunday. You can see free entertainment from a Huey Lewis tribute band, Blue House, and much more. That happens at The Riverfront. The Music Lives Here brand of clothing and accessories is celebrating seven years Saturday at B. Bar with Ro Hempel Band, Nathan Paul Duo, Dr. Webb, Mark Allison, and Jesse Copenharve. I wear the brand often. There is a hardcore showcase at Reverb Lounge with Lead Spirit, Bootcamp, and more on Saturday. After that, you can dance to the sounds of old soul at Benson Soul Society at The Sydney—no circle pits there, though. The bluesy and soulful Zac Wilkerson leaves his Texas home for a show at Bucks Bar and Grill on Saturday. The Bishops will be your Last Saturday Ska band at Willies Wonderbowl in Blackstone. IsitJosh, Alli and I, Jr Graves, Daybreak Escape will be at Waiting Room on Sunday. IsitJosh will release their debut album on that night.
