What you missed at Matchbox Omaha

Opening weekend Oct. 22–25 at Matchbox Omaha felt like a phone call from an old friend. Tucked inside the Holland Center, the intimate venue space buzzed with anticipation as the audience gathered just steps from the stage.

From ORIANTHI’s screaming guitar riffs and Duane Betts smoky Southern rock to a completely local show with Space To Play, Virgin Mary Pistol Grip, and special guest Forest, fans could feel the distance close as the music took over and the room transformed. It had the soul of a music club with the world-class sound of the Holland Center. Every chord and note felt personal. The atmosphere was electric but familiar — like making new memories in a dream of a perfect night out.

Missed it? No worries. Find a show. Reconnect.

We’ll pick up where we left off.
