Night Ranger
Details
Fire up your lighter apps and warm up those vocal cords—arena rock legends Night Ranger are roaring into Austin for a one-night-only blast of pure ‘80s power on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 8:00 pm.
With more than 17 million albums sold worldwide, over 3,000 live shows, and a radio audience topping 1 billion, Night Ranger has defined and then outlived the era of big choruses, bigger guitars, and sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs hooks. This is the band that turned the dial to maximum drama on power ballads and made cruising anthems that still own every throwback playlist.
- Expect a hit-stacked set loaded with classics like “Sister Christian,” “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me,” “When You Close Your Eyes,” and the fists-in-the-air anthem “(You Can Still) Rock in America.”
- Dig into deep nostalgia with favorites from multi-platinum albums like Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness, 7 Wishes, Big Life, and Man In Motion.
- Relive their heyday as one of MTV’s first big “video bands,” when Night Ranger racked up more than ten number-one videos and ruled the after-school TV hour.
- Catch the same songs you’ve heard everywhere from cult-classic movies and hit TV shows to video games and Broadway—these are the riffs and choruses that sneak up on you in everyday life, now blasting live from the stage.
Beyond the nostalgia, this show is a masterclass in musicianship. Night Ranger’s current lineup—Jack Blades (bass, vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals), Brad Gillis (lead & rhythm guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards), and Keri Kelli (lead & rhythm guitars)—brings decades of live experience, tight harmonies, and shreddy solos that prove why these songs have never faded from rock radio.
Whether you grew up memorizing every lyric on cassette or you’ve only shouted along to “Sister Christian” at karaoke, this concert is your chance to experience Night Ranger the way they were meant to be heard: loud, live, and in full arena-rock glory.
- Perfect for longtime fans who want to relive the golden age of rock anthems.
- A killer night out for anyone who loves big hooks, harmonized guitar leads, and songs you can sing along to from the first chorus.
- Ideal for groups—round up your friends, coordinate your throwback tees, and turn it into a full-on ‘80s rock night.
Turn up, sing loud, and prove once again that you can still rock in America—especially in Austin—when Night Ranger hits the stage on June 6.
Venue Details
Austin City Limits Live, home to ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, is a vibrant centerpiece of downtown Austin’s music scene, all gathered at 310 W Willie Nelson Blvd. Built on the legacy of the iconic Austin City Limits television show, the venue fuses modern production with the city’s famously laid-back, music-obsessed spirit.
- ACL Live at The Moody Theater is the larger performance hall, known for hosting a wide spectrum of artists, from global touring acts and legendary performers to special events, galas, and festival showcases.
- 3TEN ACL Live is the more intimate sibling space, a 350-person club designed for up-close performances where fans feel like part of the show rather than spectators in the back row.
- Both spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, reflecting their roots as professional broadcast and recording stages as well as live concert rooms.
- The venue regularly spotlights a mix of world-renowned artists, rising stars, and local Austin talent, making it a go-to spot for discovering new music and catching favorite bands in thoughtfully curated lineups.
- Beyond concerts, the flexible spaces often transform for private events, parties, and special performances, all while maintaining the signature Austin City Limits look and feel.
Together, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live offer two distinct ways to experience live music under one roof: big, cinematic nights in the main theater and high-energy, club-like shows in the smaller room. Both capture the essence of Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World, blending intimate connections between artists and audiences with polished, professional production.
