A night in the Depot District

The Cactus Theater puts you on Buddy Holly Avenue at 1812, in the Depot District. Its calendar mixes concert programs and special screenings. Read the actual listing before buying seats, especially if a familiar artist’s name appears in the title of a tribute concert. Pair an evening here with an afternoon at the Buddy Holly Center. Cactus Theater calendar and tickets.

An evening at Buddy Holly Hall

The performing arts hall is at 1300 Mac Davis Lane. The Buddy Holly Center is a museum at a different address. Save the hall’s address with your tickets so everyone ends up at the right door. The hall sells tickets through its box office and its authorized online ticketing partner. Families should check the individual performance’s age guidance before choosing seats.

A bigger show on campus

For an arena concert, look up the event on the United Supermarkets Arena website. Parking, doors and permitted items can depend on the event. A campus parking location from a previous visit may be reserved for that night. Ask guest services about accessibility or seating before buying if the route from the car matters to your group. United Supermarkets Arena visitor guide.

Plan the trip back

Share the venue address, show time and a meeting place outside the building with everyone in your party. Have the person who holds the tickets handle transfers before dinner. On the way out, you can meet at that landmark even if your party leaves through different doors.

For a second day in town, our weekend itinerary pairs a performance with a museum visit and an outdoor walk. See homes for a Lubbock weekend.
