Pioneer Records will host the 2026 Pioneer Star Showcase at The Club at Stage AE, located on the North Shore, for this year's Pioneer Stars on Tuesday, April 7. The event will feature performances by opening act Deidre Cronin and the Pioneer Stars artists Ava Presley, Brynn Elena and Jordann Versaw.

General admission tickets for guests are on sale online or at the Stage AE box office for $10. Doors will open at the main entrance of Stage AE at 6:30 p.m., and the show will begin at 7:15 p.m. Point Park University students, staff and alumni will get into the show for free with a valid Point Park ID.

Pioneer Records, the student-operated record label of Point Park University, is a part of the Sports, Arts, Entertainment and Music Business (SAEM) program of the Rowland School of Business. The Pioneer Stars were chosen by the Pioneer Records staff, Rowland School of Business faculty and Red Caiman Studios owner and producer, Jesse Naus.

The event will feature performances by each of this year's Pioneer Stars, who will debut their professionally recorded single produced by Red Caiman Studios, and the presentation of a Gibson guitar gifted through the Gibson Foundation, Gibson Gives. The premiere of Ava Presley’s video, which was created in collaboration with the cinema arts and SAEM departments at Point Park University, will also take place at the show. This video was filmed, directed and produced by an all-student cast and crew.
