You Can Get $30 Tickets for 11 Different Iowa Concerts This Week

Live Nation's 'Summer of Live' promotion goes live this week, which means that fans can get $30 concert tickets to over 4,000 shows across the country! What Iowa concerts are included in that list? Let's find out!

About 'Summer of Live'

According to Live Nation's website, 'Summer of Live' is an annual promotion where they knock down ticket prices to thousands of concerts. All the participating shows in 2026 will cost $30 each, and will go on sale to the general public on April 29th at 10 a.m. All you have to do to take advantage of the offer is look for the "Summer of Live Promotion" ticket type after you select the show you want.

Tickets went on sale early for Live Nation All Access members on April 23rd, which is how we were able to see all the shows included in the 2026 promotion. And, there's another pre-sale for T-Mobile Members that goes live at 10 a.m. today (April 28th). For additional information, check out the FAQ page for 'Summer of Live' HERE.

Live Nation Venues

Here in Iowa, Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee is the primary Live Nation-owned venue. That's why the majority of the shows on the list of participating Iowa concerts are at that particular venue. Only two of the eleven shows are at other Iowa venues: Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City and Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs.
