Live Music at Lone Star Tauranga

You do not need a concert ticket to enjoy the festival atmosphere.

Lone Star Tauranga is bringing the party straight to our dining room. As part of the Uptown Downtown energy, we are hosting our own live music sessions during the festival's first weekend.

Join us on Saturday, March 28th, and Sunday, March 29th, from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

We will feature fantastic live music right inside our restaurant. It is the perfect afternoon activity for festival-goers looking to relax, eat, and soak up the tunes.

Our friendly staff will be ready to serve you. We pour perfectly chilled cold beers, delicious wines, and expertly made cocktails. We also serve our famous, hearty Lone Star classics. You can take a break from walking between stages, sit back in a comfortable booth, and let the music wash over you while you enjoy a legendary meal.
