Mat Kearney LIVE On Stage

The anticipation is palpable, the waiting is nearly over. In just a few months, we will re-open the gates of the iconic Solvang Festival Theater and you’ll see for yourself what $5 million worth of renovations looks like, feels like, and sounds like. Perhaps you’ve peeked over the fences at the daily hum of construction. Maybe you were there on the surrounding sidewalk back in December when the new steel lighting columns were lifted high above the theater and carefully lowered in place.  And, maybe you’ve already heard that the last upgrade we added was brand new theater seats, in Royal Copenhagen Blue.

Come join us for our grand re-opening concert on Saturday, July 16th, featuring the return of Mat Kearney. Nashville-based Mat Kearney is back with his new studio album January Flower. Written between an isolated retreat in Joshua Tree and his home studio, January Flower sees Kearney in his rawest form, distilling the songwriting process and rediscovering the joy of making music. Over his career, Kearney has released five studio LPs, claimed the #1 spot on iTunes, topped multiple Billboard charts, made four entries into the Hot 100, amassed over 2.5 BILLION global streams. Kearney, a Multi-Platinum songwriter and producer, has performed live on TODAY Show, Ellen, The Tonight Show, Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Mat lit up the Festival Theater stage in 2018 in one of the most memorable shows Solvang has ever seen.

You only get to “grand re-open” once, so make your plans to be there for the unveiling of our new theater. From the minute you walk into the garden to the very last note on stage, this experience will take your breath away!
