But let's be honest: listening to live music in Nebraska isn't just about the music. It's as much about throwing down your blanket among the locals for outdoor concerts; swaying with the crowd at amphitheaters that are open to the stars, skyline or stunning bluffs. It's about anticipating big-name entertainers playing through Nebraska's state-of-the-art arenas and performing arts centers—and gathering 'round for acoustic sessions at historic opera houses and ranches. Now that you're settled in for the show, go ahead and sing or whatever else it is you do.
