CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — The Virginia Theatre has announced two major concerts coming to downtown Champaign this summer, featuring Matt Maeson and Graham Nash.

Maeson will bring his “Watch My Step Tour” to the venue on Thursday, June 18 at 8 p.m., followed by Nash’s “Live on Tour 2026” performance on Tuesday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Maeson, a Virginia-born, Nashville-based artist, is known for transforming personal struggles and introspection into emotionally driven alternative music. His 2019 debut album Bank on the Funeral produced two platinum-certified No. 1 hits, including “Cringe” and “Hallucinogenics” featuring Lana Del Rey. His Champaign stop is expected to highlight songs centered on life’s challenges and growth.

Tickets for Maeson’s show range from $35 to $45, with an optional $80 VIP add-on available. A presale begins Thursday, March 26 at 12 p.m. using the password MAESON2026, with general sales opening Friday, March 27 at 10 a.m. Buy tickets: https://thevirginia.org

Nash, a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will deliver a career-spanning performance covering more than six decades of music. His set will include work from his time with The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, along with his solo catalog.

Tickets for Nash’s show range from $47 to $95, with VIP seating packages available from $195 to $345. Each ticket includes a $1 donation to a charity selected by the artist. Presale access opens Thursday, March 26 at 10 a.m. using the password NASH2026, followed by general sales on March 27 at 10 a.m. Buy tickets: https://thevirginia.org
