August 11, 2026 – The Astro – La Vista, NE
The Astro in La Vista, Nebraska was the place to be on Tuesday night, August 11, 2026, as Lindsey Stirling brought her 2026 Duality Untamed Tour to town. Like always, she put on an amazing show.
Before Stirling took the stage, fans were treated to a set from PVRIS.
PVRIS, pronounced “Paris,” is an American pop rock act formed in Lowell, Massachusetts in 2012. Over the years, PVRIS has released four studio albums, including White Noise, All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell, Use Me, and Evergreen. Their music has shifted through different sounds over time, moving from heavier beginnings into a mix of pop rock, electronic, and darker alt-pop elements.
Led by Lynn Gunn, PVRIS has built a strong following with songs like “My House,” “You and I,” “What’s Wrong,” “Hallucinations,” and “Goddess.” The act has also earned some major recognition along the way, including Best International Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards and Breakthrough Band at the Alternative Press Music Awards.
They put on a solid performance. I wasn’t very familiar with them before this show, but I ended up adding a few songs to my playlist afterward, which is always a good sign. Lynn Gunn sounded great, and the set had a cool edge to it that worked well before Lindsey Stirling.
PVRIS currently has over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and their latest single with Lexxe, “Urban Legend” (PVRIS Remix), is awesome. It was a great way to kick off the show.
After a brief intermission, it was time for Lindsey Stirling!
This was my seventh time seeing her in concert, and somehow, she seems to get better every time. She’s absolutely extraordinary, and despite the blazing heat in La Vista, she gave the crowd their money’s worth.
Stirling is a musician, violinist, songwriter, and dancer who’s created a lane completely her own. She’s known for combining choreographed violin performances with everything from classical and pop to rock and electronic dance music. It’s one thing to play violin at an elite level. It’s another thing to do it while dancing across the stage for an entire show.
She first gained national attention as a quarter-finalist on America’s Got Talent in 2010, then built a massive audience through YouTube. Her “Crystallize” music video became one of the most watched videos on YouTube in 2012, and her LindseyStomp channel has grown to more than 13 million subscribers with billions of views.
Her success hasn’t just been online either. Her album Shatter Me reached number two on the Billboard 200, and she’s won multiple major awards, including Top Dance/Electronic Album at the Billboard Music Awards for Shatter Me and Brave Enough. She’s also won Streamy Awards, YouTube Music Awards, a Shorty Award, and German Echo Music Awards. Her cover of “Radioactive” with Pentatonix also won Response of the Year at the YouTube Music Awards.
I’ve been a fan since her early days, and I’ve been singing her praises to anyone who’ll listen. Seeing her growth over the years has been incredible, and every tour feels like she finds a way to level up the production.
She opened her set with “Kashmir,” which was a huge way to start the night. By the third song, she went into an amazing cover of Darude’s “Sandstorm,” and the crowd loved it. That one hit hard live and gave the show a burst of energy early in the set.
As expected, the visuals and costumes were awesome. Lindsey’s production is always top notch, and this tour was no different. The staging, lighting, dancers, and costume changes all worked together to make the show feel big without losing the personality that makes her performances so fun.
We even got a little taste of the holidays when she played “Carol of the Bells.” Hearing that song in the middle of summer with the sun still blazing down felt a little unexpected, but somehow it worked. That’s one of the things Lindsey does so well. She can take something familiar and turn it into a completely different live experience.
What makes her shows so impressive is how much she gives from start to finish. She’s playing, dancing, acting out the emotion of each song, and still making it all look effortless. The heat was no joke that night, but she never seemed to let it slow her down.
Stirling currently has over 2.9 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and her latest single, “King of Coins” with ARKAI, is definitely worth checking out. She continues to prove that instrumental music can be theatrical, emotional, and wildly entertaining when it’s in the right hands.
This was another incredible show at The Astro. PVRIS opened the night with a strong set, and Lindsey Stirling once again showed why she’s one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen live.
If you ever get the chance to see her in concert, make sure you do. She puts on a stellar show!
