About The Lantern

The Lantern is Blacksburg's largest nightly music venue with the best stage and in-house PA/professional lighting in the area. The Lantern is primarily a 18 and up music venue with bands nightly, but we also have a lunch and dinner menu, as well as a bar, and billiards. We have a healthy mix of local and regional bands as well as national touring break-out level bands. Shows from almost all genres are welcome at the lantern, with anything from 10 piece afrobeat bands to solo acoustic acts welcome. We hope we are able to please everyone. So if you're into interpretive dance/melodic weaping we might even be able to satisfy you. we hope so anyways... We're really just two guys who have been involved in the music scene for most of our lives in one form or another, from playing in bands, to running live sound, promoting shows, or even working the door at clubs. we both have been in the trenches for years now, and now we have a great opportunity to provide downtown Blacksburg with the venue it truly deserves! We both share a passion for live music that we hope to reflect in the shows that we book as well as the atmosphere we provide.

Groova Scape (Free Nekkid Chikins)	Mar 26 2009 4:45 PM NU GROOVA (THE FORMER GROOVA SCAPE) AND THE SHACK BAND FREE SHOW FOR PACE! POVERTY AWARENESS COALITION FOR EQUALITY SUNDAY NIGHT, 8-12 AT THE LANTERN YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS Nu Groova, the former Groova Scape, is playing a rare free show at the Lantern with the immensely popular Shack Band Sunday, starting around 9. Most important, the show will focus on the outstanding Virginia Tech student group PACE, the Poverty Awareness Coalition for Equality. The last time we played the Lantern in a fundraising event for PACE, we helped raise $1,600 for international relief programs. So, this is a party with a purpose. Come out and party. Two great bands for the price of.... NOTHING! Except a little of your time to learn more about PACE and to learn more how you can get involved and make a difference.
