A legendary mystery thriller that stands as the longest-running West End show of all time, the play having reached its 30,000th performance this past March, Agatha Christie's timeless classic The Mousetrap opens Augustana College's 2025-26 mainstage theatre season with its November 13 through 16 run, The Times calling the show "elaborately skillful" and The Daily Express praising its "atmosphere of shuddering suspense."

With its showcase for vivid storytelling and orchestral brilliance, the Quad City Symphony Orchestra continues its 2025-26 Masterworks season with Diaspora, the concert's November 8 and 9 performances at Davenport's Adler Theatre and Augustana College's Centennial Hall boasting special guest Steven Banks, the gifted saxophonist whom Seen and Heard International said “has the potential to be one of the transformational musicians of the 21st century.”

Currently touring in support of their forthcoming studio album We Didn't Die Young and lauded for the platinum-selling "Hate Me" and "Into the Ocean," the alternative rockers of Blue October return to East Moline venue The Rust Belt on November 7, their repertoire of more than a quarter-century boasting 21 top-40 singles and such chart-topping studio albums as Any Man in America, Sway, and Home.

Boasting numerous chart-topping albums on the iTunes Blues Chart and top-10 smashes on Billboard's Blues, Heatseekers, and Tastemaker charts, the roots and country-blues musicians of The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band headline a November 7 concert event as Davenport's Redstone Room, their February release Honeysuckle, according to Americana Highways, "fueled by 12 full gallons of high-octane Americana that ignite the country blues/gospel sparkplugs of legendary masters."
