INDIANAPOLIS — The summer may be winding down, but there are still five chances to experience live music under the stars as Kroger Symphony on the Prairie heads into the final weeks of its 2026 season at Conner Prairie.
The season continues Friday, Aug. 28, with The Boy Band Night, a high-energy tribute to the boy bands that defined a generation. Featuring three frontmen and a full live band, the show brings the hits, choreography, and nostalgia of groups including Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, One Direction, and the Jonas Brothers to the Prairie. Before the concert, guests can also take part in a Speed Friending event in partnership with Find Fun Indy beginning at 6:45 p.m., offering an opportunity to meet new people and make connections before the show.
On Saturday, Aug. 29, Private Eyes: The Premier Daryl Hall & John Oates Tribute takes the stage, delivering the iconic duo’s biggest hits, including “You Make My Dreams,” “Maneater,” “Rich Girl,” “Sara Smile,” and “Out of Touch.” The performance is also a Hoosier Lottery Night, featuring an activation highlighting the Hoosier Lottery’s Keep Play Positive initiative.
The following weekend brings three more opportunities to enjoy live music outdoors. Free Fallin’: The Tom Petty Concert Experience returns Friday, Sept. 4, recreating the sound and energy of a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert with the legendary songwriter’s greatest hits. On Saturday, Sept. 5, The Phil Collins Experience brings a 12-piece ensemble and multimedia production to the Prairie for a celebration of Collins’ iconic solo and Genesis catalog, including “In the Air Tonight,” “Against All Odds,” and “Sussudio.” The season concludes Sunday, Sept. 6, with EagleMania: World’s Greatest Tribute to the Eagles, featuring the Eagles’ greatest hits and solo favorites from Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh.
Together, the final five concerts offer a lineup built for singing along, dancing, and enjoying the last nights of summer with friends and family.
