The newly revitalized War Memorial Auditorium will host its first-announced concert featuring The Driver Era on March 7, 2025, as the band kicks off their 40+ city ‘Obsession Tour.’ The concert marks a new chapter for the venue as it emerges as a premier entertainment destination in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
The Driver Era, comprised of brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch, expressed their excitement for the upcoming performance. “We’re super excited to put on the best show we’ve ever done. Get ready to dance,” said Ross Lynch. Rocky added, “This tour is really about inviting fans deeper into our world,” highlighting their personal and authentic musical themes.
Tickets for the concert go on sale Friday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. ET through SeatGeek.com. In addition, a VIP package will be available, offering early venue entry, exclusive access to a pre-show Soundcheck and Q&A with the band, and a selected merchandise item.
Bryce Hollweg, Chief Operating Officer of the Florida Panthers, expressed enthusiasm for welcoming The Driver Era, anticipating that fans will enjoy the intimate setting of the auditorium. “We look forward to hosting the South Florida community,” he said.
2024 has been a pivotal year for The Driver Era, who recently released their first live album, *Live at the Greek*, capturing their sold-out show in June 2023 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. With more music set to drop in 2025, fans can expect a mix of dynamic live performances and heartfelt new material.
The War Memorial Auditorium boasts 11,500 square feet of versatile space and can accommodate 3,400 attendees, featuring both general admission and premium seated areas. Originally opened in 1950 and situated within the scenic Holiday Park, the venue combines historical significance with modern amenities, including cutting-edge sound and lighting systems.
As South Florida’s newest entertainment hub, the War Memorial Auditorium promises a diverse range of events, from concerts to community gatherings. For updates on upcoming shows and ticket offers, the community is encouraged to sign up for the venue’s email newsletter at WarMemorialAuditorium.com.
