Candlebox - Free Encore Summer Concert Series
Friday, July 10 at The Astro, Omaha
About
Emerging from Seattle’s burgeoning mid-1990s grunge scene, Candlebox quickly found mainstream success with their deep, lyrically-driven melodies and big radio hooks. Power anthems like “Far Behind” and “You,” from their debut, self-titled album exploded onto the charts propelling the album to sell more than four million copies worldwide. Free tickets will be admitted first-come first-serve until venue capacity is reached.
Who's playing
Candlebox headlines at The Astro Amphitheater in La Vista, just outside Omaha, as part of the venue’s Free Encore Summer Concert Series. Public event listings also bill Virgin Mary Pistol Grip with Candlebox.
What to expect
Expect a rock show rooted in Candlebox’s Seattle-era sound: emotionally direct melodies, large-scale choruses, and the chart-making songs that pushed the band’s self-titled debut to more than four million copies sold worldwide. “Far Behind” and “You” remain the best-known touchstones from that debut.
Why go
This is a chance to catch a major ’90s rock act in an outdoor Omaha-area venue without a standard admission price. The first-come, first-served free-ticket setup makes it an accessible pick for fans of grunge-era alternative rock and big radio hooks.
