The Showcase Lounge at Higher Ground is exactly the kind of room where Luna belongs — not the big stage, but the smaller one. The intimate side of South Burlington’s premier music venue, where the sound wraps around you and the band is close enough that you can watch Wareham’s fingers on the neck.
Luna plays Thursday, September 24, 2026. Doors at 7:00 PM, show at 7:30. All ages.
About Luna
If you already know Luna, you know why this one is worth the trip. If you don’t — Rolling Stone called them “the greatest band you’ve never heard of” — here’s the quick version: Dean Wareham founded the band in New York City in 1991 after Galaxie 500 broke up, recorded seven studio albums of intricate, hypnotic indie rock, and played a final sold-out show in 2005. They reunited in 2015, and the lineup that carried the band from 1999 through that last run — Wareham on vocals and guitar, Britta Phillips on bass, Sean Eden on guitar, Lee Wall on drums — has been touring steadily since.
The Guardian put it well: “At their best, it’s hard to believe there is any other kind of music besides this simple, graceful, chiming chug.” The live show earns that. Guitars that interlock and breathe. Tempos that pull you in. The kind of set that makes the drive home feel too short.
The Burlington date lands the night after Luna plays POP Montréal, so expect them to arrive sharp and in form.
About Higher Ground
Higher Ground runs two rooms: the main-stage Ballroom and the Showcase Lounge, where this show is. The Showcase Lounge is the smaller, more intimate of the two — a proper listening room, which is exactly what Luna calls for. It’s the North Country region’s most reliably programmed live music venue, booking across genres all year long.
Tickets & Pricing
Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster. The show is all ages. The Showcase Lounge is a small room and Luna’s following is loyal — don’t wait.
