CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) — The Virginia Theatre has announced two major concerts coming to downtown Champaign this summer, featuring Matt Maeson and Graham Nash.

Maeson will bring his “Watch My Step Tour” to the venue on Thursday, June 18 at 8 p.m., followed by Nash’s “Live on Tour 2026” performance on Tuesday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Maeson, a Virginia-born, Nashville-based artist, is known for transforming personal struggles and introspection into emotionally driven alternative music.

Nash, a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, will deliver a career-spanning performance covering more than six decades of music. His set will include work from his time with The Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash, along with his solo catalog.

Tickets for Nash’s show range from $47 to $95, with VIP seating packages available from $195 to $345. Each ticket includes a $1 donation to a charity selected by the artist.
