Everclear promised attendees a night of 90s alternative rock, and did not disappoint on their Lucky 7 Tour. The Portland alternative rock band played at The Astro Theater on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in La Vista, Nebraska, marking the 13th stop of their tour.
The Lucky 7 Tour is not your average tour and is well-crafted for die-hard Everclear fans. Before each show, fans can pick seven songs from a list of deep cuts. Everclear is made up of vocalist and guitarist Art Alexakis, bassist Freddy Herrera, guitarist Davey French and drummer Brian Nolan.
Boston rock band American Hi-Fi opened for Everclear’s tour. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Stacy Jones, guitarist Jamie Arentzen, bassist Drew Parsons and guitarist Stacy Jones.
American Hi-Fi’s sound was a perfect blend of pop-punk and alternative rock, with nasally vocals, catchy guitar chord progressions and electrifying breakdowns throughout their set.
American Hi-Fi played a handful of songs, including their new single “Guitar Center,” which came out on Friday, and hit song “Flavor of the Weak,” which brought the crowd to life as they sang along.
Soon after American Hi-Fi wrapped their set, Everclear came on stage next, opening with “You Make Me Feel Like A Whore,” “Everything to Everyone,” and “Heroin Girl.” Their set was also filled with film motifs. Whenever the band would take a brief, off-stage break, a voice would play out, teasing fans with things like the possibility of their song being voted for and their encore.
Everclear was extremely interactive on stage, whether it be leaning on each other’s backs while strumming their guitars, singing into each other’s mics together or talking with fans between songs.
Alexakis said on stage that he was struggling with his voice after recently getting over having strep throat, but it did not disrupt their performance, as his vocals still felt strong. Before Everclear played their cover of Van Morrison’s “Brown Eyed Girl,” Alexakis talked about how the song motivated and inspired him to continue his musical journey after dealing with backlash.
Everclear also performed other classics of theirs, like “Santa Monica,” “Wonderful,” “Father of Mine” and “I Will Buy You A New Life.”
Alexakis also teased that a new Everclear album is in the works. Overall, the band’s performance was nostalgic of the 90s, as the band and fans both thrived on the alternative rock and deep cuts that the band does not get to play as often.
