From chart-topping bands and Broadway stars to comedians and inspirational performers, live entertainment has become a valued part of the BYU-Idaho experience. Brigham Young University-Idaho is pleased to announce the rebranding of its long-running Center Stage series as BYUI Live!—a new name that reflects the university's vision to create memorable live entertainment experiences that bring BYU-Idaho students and the surrounding community together.
For decades, Center Stage has welcomed exceptional performers to campus, building a tradition rooted in the fine arts. As the series has evolved to include nationally recognized artists such as OneRepublic, Andy Grammer, and Brett Young, the need for a brand that better reflects the breadth of today's programming became clear.
“BYUI Live! better represents what we're trying to create,” said Tanner Christensen, who oversees the university’s live guest entertainment series. “Our goal is to bring people together through memorable experiences in our amazing venues at BYU-Idaho. We are excited to bring the community the best entertainment in the industry that the entire family can enjoy.”
BYUI Live! is designed to be more than just a series of concerts or performances. Each event is an opportunity for students, families, and friends, to spend an evening together on campus—enjoying food, activities, and community before gathering for an unforgettable live show.
The new brand launches alongside an exciting lineup of upcoming events. BYUI Live!’s first performance will feature two-time Grammy Award-winning artist Lauren Daigle on Friday, September 18 at the BYU-Idaho Center. Guest artists for the university’s annual Christmas production and other upcoming performances will be announced in the coming weeks.
While the name is changing, the mission remains the same: “to provide uplifting, high-quality entertainment that enriches the student experience, strengthens community, and creates lasting memories.”
