In celebration of the United States Air Force’s 78th anniversary, Laughlin Air Force Base is putting on a concert called Summer Bash that is free and open to the public of Del Rio on September 12. 


Artists lined up to rock the stage at Summer Bash include pop duo 3OH3!, alt pop and hip-hop soloist Bryce Vine, and multi-Platinum artist Andy Grammer. Grammer is a certified Platinum artist with his breakout debut single Keep Your Head Up, and has performed with Taylor Swift and Colbie Caillat.

On top of the live music, you can enjoy many food truck options, and even a place to play for the kids.


The Kids Zone, sponsored by the Khoury Group, will feature inflatable playscapes, obstacle runs, mechanical bull, velcro wall, face painting, and more.


Laughlin AFB welcomes civilians and families from Del Rio to enjoy Summer Bash on-base. Although non-DoD cardholders must usually be “sponsored in” by one who does have base clearance, the general public will be allowed access to the event without the customary protocol. LAFB communications do make clear an extensive list of restricted items and that the searching of each entrant will be exercised.


LAFB is instructing civilian show-goers to use the base's North Gate located on Highway 90 which opens at 6:30P the evening of Summer Bash, September 12. See the full list of banned items below, and check out the official Facebook event page. Music begins at 7:15P.


Prohibited Items:

• Weapons of any kind

• Illegal substances or drugs

• Glass containers • Bags larger than 14"x14"x6"

• Balloons, beach balls, laser pointers, fireworks

• Aerosol cans

• Outside food or beverage and coolers of any kind

• Pets (service animals only)

• Mace or pepper spray

• Commercial A/V equipment or Tripods

• Clothing with vulgar language or phrasing
