After reviewing results of an economic feasibility study and determining it would not be a good fit for Yukon, Mayor Brian Pillmore said city officials are “not moving forward” with a proposed 12,500-seat open-air amphitheater.

Pillmore shared his disappointment with the projected return on investment (ROI) to the city of Yukon as shown in the 53-page report from the Chicago-based consulting firm Hunden Partners. Yukon paid $60,000 for the study.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive has been added to the Lucky Star Amphitheater Aug. 1 show along with the Marshall Tucker Band. 

In 2023, Randy Bachman revived BTO, the legendary rock and roll band behind worldwide hits such as “Takin’ Care of Business” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet,” and has continued to tour since 2024.

Led by Bachman, BTO has recently revamped its lineup.
