Northern Quest Resort & Casino Announces 2023 Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concerts and New Booking Partnership With Live Nation

Airway Heights, WA (February 13, 2023) – Rocking and rolling into the celebration of a dozen years of outstanding Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concerts at BECU Live, Northern Quest Resort & Casino and the Kalispel Tribe of Indians have partnered with global entertainment company Live Nation, announcing the first six exciting shows in the summer 2023 lineup. Live Nation has come on as the exclusive promoter for BECU Live and the Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concerts.

Building on more than a decade of delivering premier entertainment to the Inland Northwest, the 12th Annual Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concerts are back for a summer jam-packed with the hottest acts across all genres. Northern Quest’s new partnership with Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, will bring even more shows to the venue, slotting easily into routing for artists touring across the Pacific Northwest who also tend to hit venues across Seattle, Bend, and Boise. The new partnership will be a great benefit to the venue, and we are planning for additional venue enhancements at BECU Live, including improvements to concession areas in time for the 2023 Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concert season.

“We’re extremely proud of the entertainment venue we’ve built for our guests and the artists who travel here to connect with their fans,” says Phil Haugen, Chief Operating Officer for the Kalispel Tribal Economic Authority. “Now we’re celebrating a relationship with the leading promoter and connecting our amazing guest experience to what we hope becomes access to some of the best entertainment acts in the world.”

The BECU Live outdoor concert venue at Northern Quest is unlike any other venue in the area with its intimate set-up, breathtaking sunsets, and close-up experiences with each performer. It’s no question that the success of the outdoor summer concerts over the last 12 years has catapulted Northern Quest into becoming the best Inland Northwest venue to enjoy live entertainment under the stars.

“Every year we continue to make venue enhancements at BECU Live,” says Northern Quest General Manager Nick Pierre. “This year we’re looking forward to adding a permanent Box Office for the Pepsi Outdoor Summer Concerts, conveniently located on the first floor of our new hotel tower with guest service windows facing the concert venue. We’re also adding more permanent concession areas that will increase efficiencies and ensure our guests continue to experience the amazing Kalispel Hospitality we are known for at Northern Quest.”
