The H. Ric Luhrs Perform- ing Arts Center announced the fall lineup for its first full season since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Luhrs is hosting a diverse group of performers from national Broadway tours to iconic rock bands.
The season opens with “One Night of Queen” by Gary Mullen and The Works on Sept. 3. This cover band has performed worldwide at many of the same locations as Queen, including for a crowd of 40,000 people in London’s Hyde Park.
Two legendary rock bands will each take to the Luhrs stage this season with ZZ Top performing on Friday, Oct. 7 and Kansas on Thursday, Nov. 3. With a combined 70 million records sold, the bands are best known for hits like “La Grange” and “Carry On Wayward Son.”
