An Evening With Lyle Lovett - Plus an Epic After Party!
Opening Night at the Bankhead is bringing a full evening of music, community, and celebration to downtown Livermore.
The night begins with an extraordinary performance by four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett, but the celebration continues after the show with the NEW Plaza After Party featuring Matt Axton & Badmoon.
Guests can head out to the Bankhead Plaza for live music, dancing under the stars, tapas-style bites, desserts, wine, and beverages from the no-host bar.
It’s a chance to enjoy a beautiful night out while supporting arts education outreach programs that help bring the arts to students and families in our community.
Great music, a lively after party, and a cause worth celebrating.
