Lincoln & Omaha have an active music scene.

While they may not be Nashville or Los Angeles, Lincoln and Omaha both have strong music scenes for persons interested in any genre. Both cities draw large acts (the Red Hot Chili Peppers are coming to Omaha and Train and Mumford & Sons are coming to Lincoln) but also host smaller and local acts at venues including The Zoo Bar (http://zoobar.com), the Bourbon Theatre (http://bourbontheatre.com/) and the Slowdown (http://www.theslowdown.com/). New to Nebraska is the Red Sky Music Festival (http://www.redskyfestival.com/) which will feature everything from country music (Rascall Flats and Brad Paisley) to an 80’s hair band (Def Leppard with Poison).
