In Partnership with Livermore Vallery Arts
An Evening With Lyle Lovett - Plus an Epic After Party!
This is your reminder that Opening Night at the Bankhead is not just a Lyle Lovett concert.
It’s a full evening out in downtown Livermore, with four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett headlining, plus tapas-style bites, beverages, auctions, raffle prizes, wine, desserts, and live music from Matt Axton and Badmoon.
After the performance, the night keeps going with dancing under the stars at the Plaza After Party.
Best of all, the evening supports Arts Education in our community, helping bring the arts to more students and families.
A concert, an after party, and a cause worth supporting.
