Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Alison Krauss concert in Des Moines and what time does it start?
The Alison Krauss & Union Station concert in Des Moines, Iowa is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026 at the Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park. Listings show the event running in the evening, typically from around 7:00 pm to about 10:00 pm, with some platforms specifying a 7:30 pm start time, so planning to be at the park well before 7:00 pm is a safe way to catch all of the music.
Where is Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park and what is the venue like?
Lauridsen Amphitheater is located within Water Works Park in Des Moines, a large green space at 2251 George Flagg Parkway that regularly hosts outdoor concerts and seasonal events. The amphitheater features a spacious lawn, a modern stage, and scenic riverside surroundings, offering a relaxed, open-air setting that suits Alison’s acoustic sound and gives fans room to spread out with blankets or low-back chairs where allowed.
Who is performing with Alison Krauss at the Des Moines show?
This date is part of the Arcadia 2026 Tour and is billed as Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, with special guest Theo Lawrence. That means fans can look forward to Alison’s signature vocals and fiddle playing, tight Union Station harmonies, Jerry Douglas’s celebrated dobro work, and an opening set from Theo Lawrence to start the evening.
How long will the concert last and what can I expect from the setlist?
Water Works Park’s event listing notes the Des Moines show window as 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, which typically covers an opening act followed by a full headlining set from Alison Krauss & Union Station. Fans can expect a mix of beloved catalog songs, bluegrass and Americana favorites, and newer Arcadia-era material, along with instrumental showcases and moments designed to highlight Jerry Douglas and the band’s intricate playing.
How can I buy tickets for the June 14, 2026 concert in Des Moines?
Tickets are available through major authorized sellers listing Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas at Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park on June 14, 2026, including primary ticketing sites and event pages linked from tour and venue announcements. When you purchase, check that the date, start time, and venue match this Des Moines show, and use a seller that shows a detailed seating or lawn map along with clear pricing and fee information before you confirm payment.
What are some good ways to get cheaper tickets for this show?
To keep ticket costs down, compare prices across several reputable platforms instead of buying from the first listing, because service fees and markups can differ even for similar areas of the amphitheater. Consider general admission lawn or less central sections if available, watch for presale or early-bird offers, and keep an eye on verified resale listings as the date approaches, since some sellers may lower prices to avoid being left with unused tickets.
Are there tips for getting a good viewing spot at a lower price?
If the event uses lawn or general admission areas, arriving early gives you first pick of spots, so you can choose a central viewing angle and still pay less than premium reserved seating. For shows with reserved sections, look for mid-priced areas slightly off-center or farther back from the stage, where sound is usually excellent, and consider less popular price tiers on verified resale sites that sometimes drop below original face value as the concert nears.
What time do gates open and how early should I arrive at Water Works Park?
The event window of 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and listed 7:30 pm start time suggest that gates typically open at least an hour before showtime, giving fans time to enter the park and find a spot. Planning to arrive 60–90 minutes early is wise, especially for an outdoor amphitheater, because you may need extra time for parking, walking through the park, passing any bag checks, and setting up blankets or chairs in your preferred area.
What is the Arcadia 2026 Tour and how does the Des Moines show fit into it?
The Arcadia 2026 Tour is a large run of dates featuring Alison Krauss & Union Station with Jerry Douglas across North America, with Des Moines positioned in the June leg between stops in Madison, Wisconsin and Moorhead, Minnesota. By June 14 the tour will already be in full swing, so attendees can expect a polished production, refined setlist flow, and a band that has settled into a comfortable, confident groove on stage.
Are there budget-friendly travel, parking, and comfort tips for this outdoor concert?
To avoid overspending, consider carpooling and using the official Water Works Park parking options, checking beforehand whether parking is included or charged separately so you can plan cash or card accordingly. Since this is an outdoor evening show in mid-June, bring layers, insect repellent, and allowed snacks or refillable water bottles if permitted, which can help you stay comfortable and avoid buying extra items on-site, keeping your total concert-night costs lower.
