After a mid-May grand reopening at its new Cherokee Street location, The Luminary is back in full swing with a solid summer concert calendar.
The venue has a packed stage with four shows in July. The month kicks off with F—ked Up with WEED and Life Like, a punk show at the gallery space on July 8.
“What’s really special about that group of shows in July is that pretty much all of those bands are going to be touring on new material, which is really exciting,” says Liz Deichmann, concert manager at The Luminary. F—ked Up recently released a new studio album, Glass Boys.
The Luminary serves as a unique location for concerts, serving both as a music venue and an art exhibition space. The shows this summer, Deichmann said, will allow visitors to interact with the music in a special way.
“It’s very artist-centric. What I really enjoy is being able to present a show where people have a new sort of environment to appreciate music,” Deichmann adds. “I think it can open up new possibilities for how people experience music.”
Deichmann says The Luminary tries to present artists the staff feels will resonate in St. Louis, such as Hundred Waters, an electronic-heavy indie band signed to Skrillex’s OWLSA label. The band is touring nationwide this summer featuring songs from its new album, The Moon Rang Like A Bell, and will play The Luminary on July 15. Hundred Waters will play the show along with Mas Ysa, a project from composer Thomas Arsenault.
Cloud Nothings, a one-man recording project by Cleveland artist Dylan Baldi, will take the stage in a July 17 show featuring psych-rock group The Wytches. July at The Luminary wraps up with a performance from DIIV, a Brooklyn four-piece that started as a solo project from Z. Cole Smith. DIIV will play the July 21 show with Lordo and Regal Degal.
The Luminary is located at 2701 Cherokee. Tickets and a full concert schedule can be found at theluminaryarts.com/music.
