Todd Rundgren Live in Līhuʻe, Concert Brings Economic Lift

Todd Rundgren will appear in concert at the Kauaʻi Community College Performing Arts Center in Līhuʻe on Friday evening, Nov. 28, 2025. The listing on the KCC events calendar describes Rundgren’s musical legacy and provides ticket prices that range from $79 to $120, along with box office and organizer contact details. The event page identifies Anaina Hou and the KCC PAC as organizers and gives directions to the venue at 3-1901 Kaumualiʻi Highway in Līhuʻe.

The announcement serves as the local notice for the upcoming performance, and the timing matters for local merchants and cultural planners. Ticket revenue per seat at the listed prices translates into clear gross receipts potential for the venue. The midpoint ticket price between the stated range is $99.50. That implies gross ticket revenue of $9,950 for every 100 seats sold at that average price, and $49,750 for every 500 seats sold at that average price. Those calculations illustrate how a single show can generate direct receipts for the venue and create spillover demand for restaurants, taxis, and lodging.

For Kauaʻi County the effects are concentrated but tangible. Even a single evening performance typically brings increased foot traffic in Līhuʻe, incremental sales for food and beverage vendors, and added visibility for campus facilities that host outside audiences. Organizers such as Anaina Hou and the KCC PAC also use box office data to plan programming and community outreach, so ticket sales and attendance inform future scheduling and budgeting decisions for the performing arts center.

The concert comes during a period when local officials and tourism stakeholders consider how to extend visitor spending beyond major holiday dates. A successful run of shows at campus venues can support the case for continued or expanded public and private investment in performing arts infrastructure. From a policy perspective, modest subsidies or marketing partnerships that increase attendance can leverage the venue’s capacity to capture off peak tourism demand and spread economic activity more evenly across the calendar.

Practical details for residents include the venue address and box office contact information, both available on the KCC events page. The community significance extends beyond immediate spending. Regular concerts at KCC PAC reinforce Līhuʻe’s role as a cultural hub, provide performance opportunities for local artists, and contribute to the place making that supports longer term local economic resilience. For those interested in attending, the KCC event posting is the primary source for ticketing and contact details.
