Upcoming Shows:

Friday, October 11th, 2024 - Pillars of Rock

6PM | NEW! Laser Rolling Stones: One of the most influential rock bands of all time, The Rolling Stones were in the vanguard of the British Invasion. The exhilarating drumming of Charlie Watts, the powerful guitar work of Keith Richards and the singing and showmanship of Mick Jagger helped make them one of the most important bands in the history of music – one still going strong decades later. Laser Rolling Stones brings their greatest hits to life with the magic of laser light.

7PM | Laser Aerosmith: Specializing in raunchy, sleazy boogie and melodramatic ballads, Aerosmith were one of the biggest hard rock bands to emerge in the 1970s, shaping the sound and style of hard rock and metal in the decades to come. Adapting to an era of MTV and corporate rock without losing their cheerfully trashy essence, their success includes a series of smashes in the late '80s and '90s that helped sustain their popularity into today, where you can still find them rocking out under the stars of our Planetarium!

8PM | NEW! Laser AC/DC: AC/DC is more than just a band; it's a cultural icon. Their fiery live performances, unforgettable guitar riffs, and musical heritage make them an inspiration to musicians the world over. Just as the Rolling Stones made rock history, AC/DC remains an undisputed pillar of the genre.

9PM | Spooky Season Special - Laser Stranger Things: Spooky season is finally here! Fans can't get enough of the retro vibe of the hit Netflix series "Stranger Things". Experience the '80s tunes and soundscapes from the most recent season's soundtrack along with visuals from the show reinterpreted in vibrant laser light. Take a trip to the upside-down in the safety of the dome!

From her early R&B roots as the lead of "Destiny's Child" to her breakout solo hits and visual albums, Beyonce has risen to the level of pop music icon and paved the way for many female artists to follow in her footsteps. Laser Beyonce celebrates that journey in the most entertaining and exciting way possible.

8PM | Laser Lady Gaga: Far from the usual bubblegum pop and monotonous club-happy dance music that many female singers are known for, Lady Gaga's all-time hits have personality and edge. Her style is loud and flamboyant – the qualities that make her music an absolute magnet for fans and listeners. With her meteoric rise to fame, Lady Gaga is an undeniable force in modern music and entertainment. Bring some excitement and glam to your dome with Laser Gaga.

9PM | NEW! Laser Billie Eilish: Our newest show brings the music of the Grammy-winning pop sensation to life in a thrilling laser-light spectacle. Her unique and almost strange sound, voice, style, and all-around personality have enabled her to stand out from the crowd and break the mold of a typical singer, proving that talent will always trump what you look like or how you act. Billie's chart-topping hits like 'Bad Guy' and 'BIRDS OF A FEATHER' fuel a mesmerizing display of swirling patterns and vibrant colors, echoing her unique ethereal sound that has captivated millions worldwide. Experience the emotional intensity of her music in an immersive atmosphere of light and sound.
