How Rude
Friday, August 7th
7 PM - 10 PM
BCPA Lawn
How Rude brings you all the best ’90s hits, from pop to grunge, in a high-energy show full of nostalgia and fun. With crowd-favorite throwbacks and sing-along anthems, they deliver a lively, feel-good performance that keeps the party going all night long.
First Friday Concerts, presented by the BCPA and Gibson Area Hospital, take place on the BCPA Lawn from 7–10 PM and feature live music, food trucks, and drinks in a relaxed outdoor setting. Tickets are $5, or free with a receipt from a Downtown Bloomington business—just bring your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy a summer night of great music!
