🎻 Lindsey Stirling: Duality Untamed Tour

📍 Hayden Homes Amphitheater, Bend
📅 Saturday, August 1 | 🕢 7:30 PM
🎟️ Tickets Required

Lindsey Stirling is one of those rare artists who defies every genre box you try to put her in. The multi-award-winning violinist, composer, and dancer brings her Duality Untamed Tour to Bend, blending electronic, classical, pop, and dance into a high-energy live show that's as much a visual spectacle as it is a concert. She's sold out arenas around the world and built a loyal fanbase by being genuinely, unapologetically herself—and that energy translates to every note she plays on stage.

This is a seated show at one of Bend's premier outdoor venues, so grab your tickets early—Stirling's Central Oregon performances tend to sell quickly. Doors open around 6:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 7:30 p.m. Whether it's a date night or a well-earned treat-yourself evening, you'll experience one of today's most distinctive live performers under the Central Oregon sky.
