The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton share the bill at Artpark in Lewiston on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at 8:00 PM. Read that again — the Avett Brothers and Mike Patton of Faith No More on the same stage. This is one of the more unexpected double bills of the summer, and it’s happening on the banks of the Niagara Gorge in Western New York.
About the Show
The Avett Brothers have spent two decades turning folk, bluegrass, and rock into something entirely their own. Their live shows are famously cathartic — sweaty, loud, tender, and communal in a way that very few bands can pull off. They’re the kind of act that makes people drive hours and feel like it was worth every mile. Mike Patton, on the other hand, is one of the most adventurous vocalists in rock history — from Faith No More to Mr. Bungle to Tomahawk. How these two acts share a bill is anyone’s guess, but the contrast alone makes it essential viewing.

The Venue
Artpark is an outdoor amphitheater built into the cliffs above the Niagara River Gorge in Lewiston — just north of Niagara Falls. The setting is stunning, the lawn seating is open and comfortable, and the summer concert series regularly lands headliners that punch above the venue’s size. It’s a special place to see a show, especially on a warm June evening. Full Artpark venue guide here.
