Herbie Hancock live in Indianapolis

Experience Herbie Hancock live on August 5th

Herbie Hancock is scheduled to perform at the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, United States, on August 5, 2026. Hancock is a highly influential pianist and composer whose musical style spans multiple genres. Initially gaining recognition for his work with Miles Davis in the 1960s, contributing significantly to post-bop jazz, he subsequently pioneered jazz fusion, incorporating elements of funk, rock, and electronic music. Throughout his career, Hancock has also explored hip-hop and electronic dance music, consistently demonstrating an innovative approach to improvisation and composition. He has received numerous accolades including multiple Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for his score to “Round Midnight.”

The Egyptian Room resides within Old National Centre, a historic performing arts venue originally opened in 1909 as the English Hotel and Theatre. The space underwent significant renovation in the 1980s, resulting in the current art deco-inspired aesthetic of the Egyptian Room. It’s known for its relatively intimate setting compared to larger concert halls and its ornate architectural details evoking ancient Egyptian motifs – hence the name.
