With warm days and cool nights, the High Desert is the best place to be for outdoor live music this summer. Our small town packs a big punch when it comes to bringing in artists and bands. From Portugal the Man to Willie Nelson, to a one-of-a-kind hip hop bluegrass band, there's something for everyone at this summer's music lineup in Bend!
Les Schwab Amphitheater
This unique outdoor venue offers concert goers an opportunity to dance the night away on the lawn. Enjoy your favorite artist with a cold beer in hand while the sun sets peacefully behind the cascades. Be sure to check the rules for the show you're attending - not all shows allow blankets and chairs.
