The Astra Announces Season Tickets for the Upcoming 2026 Season

This is the ninth season of entertainment in the theatre since major renovations took place and the historic Astra reopened its doors in 2018. A lot has happened in the previous eight years, and this ninth season is shaping up to be a riveting year of live entertainment in Jasper, IN! The historic Astra Theatre will be the venue, and the spotlight will be on the Jim and Pat Thyen Performance Stage as 10 concerts, 3 comedic performances, and the annual Rock Lotto will take place throughout 2026.   

Season tickets are on sale to the public now at www.AstraTheater.com. The cost of 2026 season tickets, which will include the 10 concerts, 3 comedy events, and the annual Rock Lotto, will be $300. In addition, two movie events, the return of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and a Christmas movie, will be included with the 2026 season tickets. 

The following events are confirmed shows for 2026 with 6 more musicians and 2 more comedians to be announced soon.

The season will kick off on Saturday, February 7 when Magnolia Boulevard, a rapidly rising ensemble, brings some southern rock and the Delta blues, all with a hearty helping of Americana and Appalachian soul to The Astra. 

Vincent Neil Emerson, a staple among folk and country music fans nationwide, will perform on Friday, March 27. His first LP, Fried Chicken & Evil Women, from 2019, established him as a refreshing voice in the modern country music landscape.

On Saturday, April 18, comedian Dave Dugan will bring plenty of laughs to our beloved theatre. Dave’s original and clean humor and observations have made him a highly-sought after comedian who customizes humor for each performance to best fit the audience. 

The Why Store will be returning to The Astra on Saturday, June 13. The American rock band formed in the late 1980s in Muncie, IN, and, once again, The Why Store is officially open for business. 

On Saturday, June 27, Woomblies Rock Orchestra will present a unique concert for all attendees. They are a powerhouse of talent with 9 musicians, including a 4-piece string section, playing some of the greatest Rock and Motown music.

The historic Astra Theatre is located in the heart of downtown Jasper, Indiana. Newly renovated with 357 seats, the Astra has main level and balcony seating with a concessions stand offering snacks and drinks that are available for purchase during the events.
