SPAC News: Muse & SPACtacular On the Way

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SAPC) summer calendar is rapidly filling up, and two recently-announced events will bring a Grammy-winning rock group and a much-lauded dance floor to the amphitheater stage. 

The arts center’s Summer SPACtacular fundraising event will return for its fourth iteration on Friday, May 29 from 5 to 11:30 p.m. The celebration, spread across the SPAC grounds, includes live music, a multi-course gourmet dinner, culinary tastings in the Party Tent, cocktails and zero-proof beverages, fireworks, and a culminating dance party with DJ Trumastr. This dance party, recently heralded as the “best dance floor” in Saratoga, presents a unique opportunity to not only be up on the main stage, but also get a glimpse behind the scenes of a storied music venue.

“As we mark SPAC’s 60th anniversary and my 10th year with this extraordinary organization, this evening feels especially meaningful, honoring a remarkable legacy while looking ahead to the future, and inviting guests to experience the energy, creativity, and connection that define SPAC at its best,” said SPAC CEO Elizabeth Sobol.

Tickets to the Summer SPACtacular are available online at spac.org.

A couple months later, on July 24, Grammy-winning English rockers Muse will hit the SPAC stage, perhaps for a dance party of their own. The show will be preceded by the release of Muse’s tenth studio album, “The Wow! Signal,” on June 26. Opening for Muse in the Spa City will be Bloc Party, English rockers who incorporate electronica and house music into their sound, and Aussie rock group The Temper Track.
