Country music icon Dwight Yoakam is set to perform at Beaver Dam Amphitheater for a one-night-only concert on August 29, 2026, as part of the First United Bank & Trust Concert Series.
Yoakam, a multiple Grammy Award-winning artist known for his influential role in shaping modern country music, will bring his catalog of hits and signature sound to western Kentucky for what organizers describe as a major event for the region.
“This is exactly the kind of show that defines what we’re building at Beaver Dam Amphitheater,” said Heath Eric, President and CEO of The Eric Group, the venue’s management firm. “Dwight Yoakam is a true original and one of the most influential artists in country music history. His connection to Kentucky, his legendary catalog, and his live performance energy make this a massive night not just for our venue, but for the entire region. When an artist of this caliber comes to The DAM, you don’t wait. You Buy The DAM Tickets and get ready for a DAM Good Time.”
