Alkaline Trio live in Waukee

Experience Alkaline Trio live on October 7th

Alkaline Trio is scheduled to perform at Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee, Iowa on October 7, 2026. The band is recognized for their distinct brand of melodic hardcore, often categorized within the emo and punk rock genres. Their music frequently incorporates dark lyrical themes, complex song structures, and a notable use of three-part vocal harmonies. Formed in Chicago in 1998, Alkaline Trio has released eight studio albums and maintained a consistent presence in the alternative music scene for over two decades.

Vibrant Music Hall opened in 2023 as a privately-owned, mid-sized concert venue designed to bring national and regional acts to the western suburbs of Des Moines. The hall boasts a capacity of approximately 2,500 attendees and features state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. It’s intended to fill a gap in the area's live music offerings, providing a space larger than local bars but smaller than larger arenas found in Des Moines itself. The venue hosts a diverse range of musical genres including rock, country, pop, and electronic music. It also includes multiple bar areas and aims to create an intimate concert experience despite its size.
