Unforgettable Rock Legends: Legendary Lubbock Concerts Through The Decades

Alright, Lubbock, let’s dive into some of the most legendary concerts and festivals that have rocked the Hub City over the years, according to y’all. It’s hard to narrow it down, but here’s a look at the shows that still have people talking.

For Christopher Bueno, it’s gotta be Foreigner—their classic rock anthems and energy make it unforgettable. Serena Perez takes us back to Bon Jovi and Skid Row in ’88 at the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum, a night that brought some serious hair band rock 'n' roll to the former Lubbock landmark. And Trina Renae is all about the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, saying the Lubbock show was better than even the massive Dallas one. I've gotta tell you, she's right! TSO BRINGS IT when they come to town!

Then we’ve got the one and only Sir Paul McCartney, who’s easily a favorite for several folks. Rachel Vasquez, Buzz Barton, and Benny Briggs all mention McCartney as their top pick, with Dustin Garrett remembering that despite plane delays, Paul gave a show that even included a tip of the hat to Lubbock's own Buddy Holly.

And who else remembers AC/DC and Aerosmith on July 4, 1978? Phil Hogan remembers working that show in the scorching Coliseum with a record-breaking 10,000 fans. Talk about an epic night of rock history!

From Fleetwood Mac to KISS and even a few ZZ Top shows, it’s clear that Lubbock has hosted some legendary concerts. Whether you were there for the rock, the acoustics, or just the memories, these shows prove the Hub City had had some MAJOR acts come through over the years!
