Lobo Theater 88th Anniversary: 5 Bands, One Ticket

88 YEARS. ONE TICKET. FIVE BANDS. ONE NIGHT THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

The Historic Lobo Theater & Event Center turns 88 on August 15, 2026, and we are throwing the biggest party this building has seen since the marquee first lit up in 1938. This is not a concert. This is a milestone. And you only get one shot at being in the room for it.

One $30 ticket gets you five full bands: Whole Lot of Zeppelin, Before Vegas, Destroy to Recreate, Love Grenade, and Visionofire. That is six dollars a band, on a stage that has been putting on shows in Nob Hill since before your grandparents had a driver's license.

The music starts at 3:00 PM and the end time is a question mark on purpose. We go until we go. Food and drink specials all day. Games. Giveaways. The whole building lit up on historic Route 66, the way it has been for 88 years.

All ages until 10:00 PM. After that the night belongs to the 21 and up crowd, so have a valid ID ready.

Summer is winding down, and this is the show to close it out right. Eighty-eight years of live entertainment comes down to one day. When it's over, it's over, and everybody who was there will tell you about it. Be the one telling the story, not the one hearing it.
