AEG Presents: Las Vegas and Clique Hospitality have announced a must-see double bill from two beloved forces in indie rock music, Band of Horses and Iron & Wine. The two bands have been added to the dynamic “Bel-Aire Poolside Concert Series” lineup at Durango Casino & Resort with performances on Saturday, Sept. 27. Tickets, available here.
Band of Horses rose to prominence in the mid-2000s, known for their sweeping anthems, Ben Bridwell’s high-flying vocals and deeply resonant lyrics. From early classics like “Everything All the Time” to Grammy-nominated “Infinite Arms,” the band has crafted a catalog of emotionally raw and sonically lush albums that have become defining entries in the indie rock canon. “Things Are Great,” released in 2022, saw the band returning to its roots with renewed punk-rock spirit and unfiltered emotion.
Iron & Wine is the acclaimed band led by singer-songwriter Sam Beam, whose poetic lyricism and rich folk sound have earned him a devoted following. With his 2024 release, “Light Verse,” Beam presents a playful, heartfelt response to the weight of recent years, laced with both whimsy and wisdom. Coming off a spring 2025 tour in support of the album, he will bring his poetic lyricism to life under the open sky at Bel-Aire Backyard.
Guests can elevate their concert experience with a luxurious poolside cabana, which includes 10 tickets to the show. Each private cabana features plush seating, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator stocked with refreshing soft drinks. Packages include premium access for the entire group, including exclusive entry to the VIP standing area and an unparalleled view of the stage. A dedicated cabana host caters to guests’ needs, while a state-of-the-art mister system and a personal ceiling fan ensure comfort throughout the night.
The “Bel-Aire Backyard Poolside Concert Series” debuts this month and runs through November, transforming the outdoor oasis into the ultimate music destination. Band of Horses and Iron & Wine join a stellar lineup that includes The Fray, Thievery Corporation, Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Struts, and more.
Tickets start at $45, plus taxes and fees. Presale tickets for the artist’s fan club will be available on Wednesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. PDT. The intimate venue holds approximately 1,600 guests, and the pool will close at 4 p.m. on show days. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m. More information and tickets are available on the website, linked here.
