September was the month for great music and big laughs at DPAC. After a few weeks of the incredible Broadway sensation WICKED, we decided it was time to bring in some of the best of music and comedy.

Hailed as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era,” the legendary rock and roll band, Chicago, returned to DPAC for an incredible sold-out performance. Nick Cave, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, put on a great show and performed songs from his extensive catalog. We also had Squeeze and The Psychedelic Furs and Ben Folds bring their iconic tunes to the DPAC stage for memorable nights of music. Speaking of iconic tunes, we hosted Patti LaBelle belting out the classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards, and spiritual sonnets that she is known and revered for.

Jo Koy hosted two sold out performances with his uniquely relatable comedy pulling inspiration from his colorful family. Chris Tucker returned to his roots of standup comedy and gave audiences a hilarious night to remember. Finally, Nimesh Patel wrapped up the month and joined us on the DPAC stage for a wonderful night of comedy.

Thank you,
