A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three- part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and highly awaited sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS (a boldly autobiographical body of work due out May 29), the 25-year-old artist songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with a hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in Country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from Alt-Pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting. Born and raised in Pungo, Virginia (a one-of-a-kind region where farmland meets beach), Springsteen’s connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself to play guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights. After making her landmark debut with TWENTY SOMETHING — a 2023 release featuring her GOLD-certified smash “goodbye looks good on you (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)” — Springsteen earned massive praise from the likes of NPR (“Few artists dissect and make sense of life in your 20s quite like Alana Springsteen”) and PEOPLE (“Everything about her says she was made for this wild, breathless — and, yes, high-risk — life of an artist”). A powerhouse live performer who commands rooms of any size, she’s now headlined her own TWENTY SOMETHING TOUR; performed at major festivals like Stagecoach; toured internationally across Europe, the U.K., and Australia; and supported superstars like Luke Bryan, LANY, Keith Urban, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With countless milestones to her name — including making her Tiny Desk debut in 2024 and scoring a No. 1 hit with “Hot Honey” (a collaboration with MULTI PLATINUM DJ/producer Tiësto) — Springsteen’s momentum is undeniable.

When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a crime, she hides out in the last place anyone would look — a convent. Suddenly, the sequins are swapped for habits, and the nightclub turns into a nave. But when Deloris brings her unholy amount of soul to the choir loft, heaven gets a whole new groove.

Sister Act is a holy-rolling, soul-lifting celebration of sisterhood, second chances, and songs that raise the roof. As Deloris helps the sisters find their voices, they just might change her heart in return.

Part divine comedy, part disco revival, it’s proof that a little funk — and a lot of faith — can turn any sanctuary into a showstopper.

Event Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

When Franklin Rabon witnessed Oasis light up Wembley Stadium, something ignited. The raw power, the massive singalongs, the pure rock and roll electricity—it was everything that made him fall in love with Oasis in the first place. Franklin left Wembley with more than memories—he left with a purpose.

Supernova isn't just another tribute band going through the motions. This six-piece outfit is obsessed with recreating the energy, intensity, and swagger of a live Oasis performance. From the opening chords of "Rock 'n' Roll Star" to the final notes of "Champagne Supernova," every show is crafted to deliver the full Oasis experience—loud, raw, and unapologetic rock and roll.

Most fans never got the chance to see Oasis in their prime—before the massive stadiums, when they were still the scrappy Manchester lads playing clubs and theaters with something to prove. Supernova exists to give you that experience: an intimate, high-energy Oasis show where you can feel the music in your chest and sing every word at the top of your lungs. Whether you've been a fan since "Definitely Maybe" or just discovered them recently, Supernova delivers the closest thing to a real Oasis gig you'll find on this side of the Atlantic.
