The Buddy Holly Center and Element Continue Summer Showcase 2026
The Buddy Holly Center’s annual Summer Showcase Concert Series finishes its season on Thursday, August 13th with Element!
Element has been keeping the funk alive in Lubbock since 2004. This band has taken Lubbock by storm with an impeccable groove that gets listeners up and moving. They describe their style as similar to that of the iconic soul and funk group, Kool & the Gang. Join us for music that is sure to get you out of your seat and dancing!
Guests are welcome to bring outside food. However, outside beverages are not permitted after 5:00pm. Chairs, picnic blankets, and like items will NOT be permitted inside the gates.
Admission is FREE! Enjoy a cash bar! Seating for this event is available on a first come, first serve basis.
In addition to viewing the concert, guests are encouraged to walk the Buddy Holly exhibitions and the Fine Arts Gallery during Summer Showcase hours with FREE admission.
