Photo coverage: The 1975, Pale Waves, Colouring at Pinnacle Bank Arena
HN multimedia intern Lauren Farris went to Pinnacle Bank Arena — a less-traveled place for us — to catch The 1975 as the English rock band routed through Lincoln on its U.S. tour. The concert, which featured openers Pale Waves and Colouring, was moved to the Haymarket stadium from its originally scheduled location at Pioneers Park due to weather.

New HN Radio playlist
Happy Monday! We’ve refreshed our HN Radio playlist with a big batch of new music mixed in with recent live Hear Nebraska FM recordings.
Omaha post-rock band Fore1gn Body released its latest EP II in April, and “Dyatlov” from that record leads this week’s playlist. The song is inspired by the ill-fated Dyatlov Pass incident, in which which a group of hikers who mysteriously disappeared and then were found dead in the Northern Ural Mountains. The track itself soars with pulsating guitar riffs and vocalist Braden Rapp’s dramatic wail.
Also appearing on HN Radio are a pair of solo side-projects from Stathi Patseas (AllSortsOfGood) and Jyothi Samudrala (ex-Satellite Junction). Patseas has self-released new EP Backwash Thoughts, and the acoustic track “Ordinary” is included here. Samudrala has taken a more fleshed-out approach with his project entitled Timing Your Memory, which released She Had Dreams in April. Its middle track “If I Could Only Remember You” is a tender and dreamy recollection of a wonderful past tragically void of the person with whom it was shared.
Rounding out submissions for the week is Omaha musician André Vander Velde, who sent upbeat pop track “Get Up” from his self-titled debut album. Omaha Guitar Trio/Belles & Whistles guitarist Kevin Sullivan adds a little flair, while Old Money saxophone player Adrian Arriola gives the song warmth. Knife Fight Justice bassist Aaron Hadenfeldt and drummer Justin Fisher round out the group. Find the album here.
Rounding out the playlist are noted new tracks from See Through Dresses and Twinsmith, both with new albums out June 30 and July 14, respectively. Plus, hear new cuts from our Hear Nebraska FM live sessions featuring The Wildwoods, Unmanned and Head of Femur. Listen below or at the top of the website:
