Lindsey Stirling 2026 tour

On August 26, 2026, The Lindsey Stirling Duality Untamed Tour made its stop at Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois. The summer tour brought Stirling together with PVRIS and ARKAI for a night that mixed electronic dance music, classical crossover and Stirling’s unique blend of violin and dance. The tour supports Stirling’s Duality, while also giving fans a chance to hear some of her other favorites.

ARKAI

ARKAI opened the night. Unfortunately, their set was before the published time so I was too late to catch most of their set. I only caught the end, which was their cover of Imagine Dragons’ “Believer.” ARKAI is a New York-based classical crossover duo featuring electric violin and electric cello. The members, Jonathan Miron and Philip Sheegog, are graduates of The Juilliard School. They have been performing together for several years and have already built an impressive resume, including a 2026 Grammy win for their album Brightside. I would have liked to see more of their set. Fortunately, they returned later in the night to join Stirling for “High Noon (Lindsey Stirling Version).” You can follow ARKAI’s journey, including new music and tour updates, at their website: arkaimusic.com.

PVRIS

PVRIS was an act I was excited to see. I’ve wanted to catch them live for some time, so seeing them on the lineup was a nice surprise. The band formed in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 2012 and is led by Lynn Gunn. Their sound has changed over the years, moving between alternative rock, electronic music and heavier influences. Their set included “Dead Weight,” “Snakes,” “Ghosts,” “GOOD ENEMY,” “ANIMAL,” “Use Me” and “Hallucinations.” They closed with “GODDESS,” and I was glad I finally got the chance to see PVRIS live.

Lindsey Stirling

Then it was time for Lindsey Stirling. I had photographed Lindsey Stirling at Rosemont Theatre in 2024, so it was nice to be back almost two years later for another show. She opened with a dramatic cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” before moving into “Underground.” From the beginning, it was clear this was going to be more than a concert. Stirling has always brought a theatrical side to her performances, and this show was no different. Her violin playing, choreography, costumes and production all worked together as part of the story. ARKAI also returned to the stage for “High Noon (Lindsey Stirling Version),” giving the duo another moment in the spotlight after their opening set.

One of the things I enjoy about photographing Lindsey is that there is always something happening on stage. The show moved between the darker moments of Duality and some of the songs that have become fan favorites over the years. There were also plenty of fun touches, including the Hedwig’s Theme intro, a “Beanstalk” setup for “Evil Twin” and a Red Riding Hood theme before “Firefly Alley.” “Crystallize” was another standout moment, while “Roundtable Rival” blended into “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” For the final song, PVRIS vocalist Lynn Gunn joined Stirling for “Eye of the Untold Her (Echo in the Dark),” bringing the two artists together one last time. It was a strong finish to a show that kept the audience watching as much as listening.

Conclusion: Lindsey Stirling 2026 Rosemont Theatre

The Lindsey Stirling Duality Untamed Tour was a fun night at Rosemont Theatre. I would have liked to catch more of ARKAI, but their appearance with Lindsey Stirling during “High Noon” made up for missing most of their opening set. PVRIS was a highlight for me, especially after wanting to see them live for so long. And Lindsey Stirling delivered the kind of show her fans have come to expect, mixing her violin playing with dance, music and plenty of visual storytelling. It was a great night of music and a show I was glad to photograph.
