Tribute Bands Promise Unforgettable Performances At Cactus Theater

Do you love a good tribute band? I sure do.

The thing with tribute bands is, they have to be better than the original. Yes, I said it — better than the original. If you saw a band like Van Halen and David Lee Roth was “off” that night, you'd still say, “Oh well…that’s David Lee Roth.” If you saw a Van Halen tribute and the singer was “off,” you’d probably call them the worst tribute band ever and never go see them again.

The Cactus Theater Has Some Big Tribute Shows Coming

The Cactus Theater in Lubbock has three tribute bands on tap that are sure not to disappoint.

Not to be outdone are the guys in Def Leggend — the #1 touring tribute to Def Leppard. This one’s on the books for Saturday night.
