Tears of Silver, an alt-rock supergroup that features members of the Posies (Ken Stringfellow), Midlake (Jesse Chandler) and Mercury Rev (Jonathan Donahue and Grasshopper), will bring their Secret Pop Up Show Tour to an undisclosed location in the Valley.
According to a press release, “These shows will be in cool, alternative event locations in each city – think art museum, a church, an auto garage or even a gardening nursery shop – with the actual address of the show being released to ticket holders not more than 24 hours in advance.”
All I’ve heard so far is this breathtaking cover of the Big Star classic “Nighttime,” but it speaks well of the possibilities. So you should definitely go because these guys are just ridiculously talented.
We just can’t tell you where you’re going. Not yet.
They intend to play selections from their different catalogs, a handful of covers (like “Nighttime”) and possibly some new material.
The show will happen Friday night, Sept. 22. Tickets are $30-$100 at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tears-of-silver-phoenix-tickets-35747271050

The First Institutional Baptist Church welcomes Houston native and BET Sunday Best finalist Maurice Griffin as part of Hope 4 Houston, a Harmonies for Hope Concert event supporting Hurricane Harvey relief efforts at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 10.
“In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, I saw fit to change the focus on Harmonies for Hope to Hope for Houston,” says FIBC Minister of Music Brenda Hankins. “Our Senior Pastor, Dr. Warren H. Stewart, Sr. wants to help the people of Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana in a tangible way and what is better than a musical event that will bring the community together?”
Griffin will teach a series of songs for the concert on Thursday, Friday and Saturday ahead of the Sunday concert along with special dance clinicians April Hawkins of Fountain of Life Church in Phoenix and Bobby Jones of Friendship Baptist Church in Tucson.
Griffin will minister on Sunday morning at First Institutional during both the 7:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. worship services.

11/5: Desert Gathering Jewish Music Fest
The Desert Gathering Jewish Music Fest has moved into a new home for its fifth year in the Valley.
An outdoor concert event designed to celebrate Jewish music and culture, the Desert Gathering will take place at the Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus in Scottsdale from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5.
Relocating from Steele Indian School Park location to the JCC Campus on the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Sweetwater Roads in North Scottsdale gives the music festival a more intimate and contained setting, says to DGJMF founder Todd Herzog.
“The more intimate setting promotes greater interaction amongst attendees while still allowing for plenty of room to sit down with friends and family on blankets or get up and dance to the music,” says Herzog, who’s also a featured performer. “It also reinforces and deepens our partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun Jewish Community Center.”
The DGJMF’s mission is “to use the spiritual power of music to create a stronger sense of Jewish identity, connection to community and pride in a shared culture and heritage.” With the relocation, the Fest will have access to a much greater number of parking spots, more convenient access for attendees and a dedicated on-site kosher kitchen.
The Fest is an interactive, family-friendly experience, featuring live music from Nefesh Mountain, Chava Mirel, Josh Niehaus and Herzog, as well as several local talent acts. The Fest is open to all ages and denominations.
Tickets are $5 for ages six and up with a five-ticket pack available for $20 at 480-483-7121 or [email protected].

Fat Mike is bringing the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival to Fear Farm Saturday, Oct. 21, with co-headliners NOFX and Bad Religion joined by Goldfinger, Authority Zero, Guttermouth and more.
The festival sprang from the mind and liver of NOFX frontman Fat Mike, who teamed with craft beer pioneers Stone Brewing to brew their very own Stone & NOFX Punk in Drublic Hoppy Lager, which will be available at the festival, along with dozens of other craft beers.
Because this is in part a craft beer festival, it’s only open to those 21 and up.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 31, at PunkInDrublicFest.com and start at $29 plus fees for general admission (a very limited number of tickets available at this price).

Attendees will have over 100 craft beers to choose from, including some of the West Coast’s best and local favorites. All tickets include access to watch the music stage.

Named for NOFX’s classic “Punk In Drublic” album, which has sold more than one million copies, the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival launches September 16 in Tacoma, Wash., with music lineups varying in each market.
Fat Mike joined forces with premier music event producer/promoter Synergy Global Entertainment (SGE) and respected craft beer event production powerhouse Brew Ha Ha Productions for the festival.
Best known as the lead vocalist, bassist and songwriter for long-running punk rock band NOFX, Fat Mike is also bassist and arranger for supergroup cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. He also co-owns the Fat Wreck Chords label in San Francisco. NOFX formed in Los Angeles in 1983, signed to Epitaph Records in 1989, and went on to sell more than six million records worldwide including two records that went gold in the U.S. and Canada.
In 2004, Fat Mike founded Punkvoter.com in an effort to mobilize the punk community to vote, and in turn raised over a million dollars for the Kerry Campaign with the Rock Against Bush compilations. In 2016, NOFX released both a New York Times best-selling book (“The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories”) and their critically acclaimed 13th album (“First Ditch Effort”).
10/29: Kirk Franklin with Ledisi
Gospel Superstar Kirk Franklin and R&B singer Ledisi are bringing The Rebel, the Soul & the Saint Tour to Phoenix on Oct. 29 to perform at Comerica Theatre with an opening set by PJ Morton.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 1 and ticketmaster.com, the box office and both artists’ individual websites.
Both Ledisi and Franklin will perform a mix of fan favorites and recent material from various fan Franklin’s “Losing My Religion” and Ledisi’s “Let Love Rule.” This is the first time these two acts have toured together.
Ledisi says, “This tour is non-traditional on purpose. The goal is to not alienate anyone, bringing all people together and to perform music that inspires and reflect the human experience. This is an event for music as a whole. That is why it is called ‘The Rebel, The Soul, and The Saint….’ How awesome will it be to see all these wonderful people on stage, fearlessly expressing life, spirit, and LOVE through music? I am looking forward to this tour with the great Kirk Franklin.”
Franklin says “In this climate, the world definitely needs to be reminded of the power of love. From God’s heart to the human touch, Ledisi and I are excited to bring the power of love to the people!”
11/12: So You Think You Can Dance
“So You Think You Can Dance” will come alive on stage at Comerica Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 12.
Celebrating the Emmy-winning series’ 14th season, the Top 10 finalists will make their way across America, performing in 34 cities, as part of the Season 14 “So You Think You Can Dance” tour. Those finalists are Robert Green, Logan Hernandez, Lex Ishimoto, Koine Iwasaki, Dassy Lee, Kaylee Millis, KiKi Nyemchek, Taylor Sieve, Sydney Tormey and Mark Villaver. Joining the Top 10 finalists are two of Season 14’s All-Stars, Jasmine Harper and Marko Germar.
Since being on the show, Harper has performed in “The Boss,” “Beyonce: Lemonade,” the 87th Annual Academy Awards, and alongside Taylor Swift, Usher, and Pitbull. Germar has performed in “Grease Live!,” “Glee,” “Austin & Ally,” “Teen Beach Movie,” the 89th Annual Academy Awards, and with Jennifer Lopez.

1/3: Willie Nelson & Family
Willie Nelson & Family will play the Celebrity Theatre on Wednesday, Jan. 3.
Tickets are $67, $97 and $127, going on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 21, at the venue box office (440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix), online at celebritytheatre.com or, by phone, at 602-267-1600 ext. 1. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing surcharges. All ages welcome.
Nelson, of course, is a piece of American history. And he’s not finished adding to that history. Earlier this year, “God’s Problem Child,” which featured seven new song co-written by Nelson and producer Buddy Cannon, became his second album in the past four years to top the Billboard country charts.
Of course, he’ll probably just play some subtle variation of the set he always plays, but it’s a good one, from “Crazy” and “Funny How Time Slips Away” to “On the Road Again.” Nelson also is known for such classics as “Red Headed Stranger,” “Hello Walls,” a heartbreaking cover of “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” and the great Waylon Jennings duets “Good Hearted Woman” and “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.”
10/17: Evanescence
Evanescence are bringing their Synthesis Live Tour, named in support of a fourth album due this fall, to Comerica Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 17.
Like the album, Synthesis Live will feature Evanescence reimagining their best known work with a full orchestra, combined with electronics and, as you may have imagined, Amy Lee’s voice and piano.
“This is a total passion project for me,” Lee explains. “There are so many layers in our music, underneath the huge drums and guitars. I’ve always wanted to shine a light on some of the gorgeous David Campbell arrangements and programming elements in our songs, and that idea snowballed into completely re-doing them with full orchestra, not just strings, elaborate programming and experimentation.
“This will be our first time touring with orchestra and I’m so excited to perform this way-really focus on the vocals, and the emotion and the story we’ve built over the years. I’m also really excited about the new material on the album. Besides the two new songs, there are some really beautiful instrumental in-between moments. The whole thing flows like a big, dynamic soundtrack.”
Synthesis Live fan and VIP pre-sales start Tuesday, Aug. 15, with general on-sale beginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 18. Every ticket sold includes a download of the album upon release.
As an added bonus, ticket buyers will also receive songs from the album prior to the album’s release date, beginning with a stunning new reworking of their biggest hit, “Bring Me To Life,” which will be available for download to all ticket buyers as well as on streaming services and in digital stores beginning Friday.
A variety of VIP ticket packages are available to ensure fans obtain the best seats in the house. Other VIP benefits include the opportunity to meet and enjoy a champagne toast with the band, attend their sound check, and receive exclusive merchandise items. For full tour details go to.

Tickets are $66-$126, going on sale at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 24, at the venue box office (440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix), celebritytheatre.com or 602.267.1600.
Valli, who rose to fame in the early ’60s as the lead singer of the Four Seasons, is a hotter ticket that he’s been in decades thanks to the success of “Jersey Boys,” the Tony-winning musical that chronicles the life and times of Valli and his group. The Four Seasons had 40 singles go Top 40 in their prime, including “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Walk Like a Man,” “Rag Doll” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”
The Four Seasons were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Valli is the only original member still touring, but the show is being billed as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
1/19/2018: Katy Perry
Katy Perry is bringing her tour in support of “Witness” to Gila River Arena in Glendale Jan. 19.
“Witness,” due June 9, finds the singer reflecting on the changes in her own life and the world around her. The lead single, “Chained to the Rhythm” with Skip Marley, hit the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. A second single, “Bon Appetit” featuring Migos, was released last month.
Each ticket purchased for Witness: The Tour includes a pre-order for “Witness: The Album.”

WITNESS: The Tour follows Perry’s sold-out, 151-date Prismatic World Tour, which concluded in 2015 and was hailed by Rolling Stone as “a show to damage retinas and blow minds.”
Katy, who will be the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” on the May 20 season finale, made her Capitol Records debut with 2008’s “One of the Boys” after signing to the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global superstar with the follow-up album, “Teenage Dream,” in 2010. “PRISM,” her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide. With the singles “Firework” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold, including song sales and streams, Perry is the first female artist to earn two RIAA digital single Diamond Awards. In her 10 years with Capitol, she’s racked up more than 18 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of more than 40 million adjusted albums and more than 125 million tracks. She is the most-followed person globally on Twitter.
We spoke with the star when she headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2015 and she talked about her Scottsdale roots.
“I used to live in Scottsdale,” Perry said. “So I have little hometown vibes there. I went to Paradise Valley Christian School in kindergarten and first grade. Mrs. Dalton was my first-grade teacher and that’s when I started becoming a conscious adult. (laughs). So yeah, I have a lot of memories there. I remember it always being so extremely hot. But I also lived in Lake Havasu, actually. So I’ve lived in a couple places in Arizona. But Scottsdale has always been a really beautiful place in my mind. I have hiked Camelback Mountain. You are talking to a Super Bowl performer who has hiked your mountain. So I know about you guys a bit.”
2/3/2018: Shakira
Shakira brings her El Dorado World Tour to Talking Stick Resort Arena on Saturday, Feb. 3.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, June 30, but there are plenty of presales you can take advantage of.
There’s a Citi presale from 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 27, to 10 p.m. Thursday, June 29, and a Viber presale beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 28. Live Nation also has a presale starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 29.
The tour is in support of “El Dorado,” which topped the Billboard Latin charts in early June, topping the iTunes charts in 37 countries.
The 12-time Grammy winner has issued a statement that says, “Thank you all so much for listening to my music in so many places around the world. I can’t wait to be onstage again singing along with all of you, all of your favorites and mine. It’s going to be fun! The road to El Dorado starts now!”
Shakira’s biggest U.S. hits include the double-platinum “Hips Don’t Lie,” “Beautiful Liar,” “She Wolf” and “Empire.”
3/16/2018: Lorde
Lorde will bring her “Melodrama” world tour to Gila River Arena in Glendale on March 16.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, June 23, at the arena box office, 800-745-3000 or gilariverarena.com.
Fans can sign up for Lorde’s email list for first access to pre-sale tickets and find more info on tour dates at https://lorde.co.nz/melodrama-tour
The tour is named for Lorde’s new album, which arrived today. Ahead of the release, fans were given a preview of her studio album in the form of “Green Light,” “Liability,” “Sober” and “Perfect Places,” the last of which became the singer’s latest track to make our monthly playlist.
The songs I’ve heard so far from her “Melodrama” have already made it clear that 2013’s “Pure Heroine,” the singer’s platinum debut, was no fluke.
The star was all of 17 when “Royals” spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, selling 7.5 million copies worldwide. And she scored a second multi-platinum U.S. hit with “Team” from that same debut album. She hasn’t toured since late 2014, but I did just see her at Coachella, where she was amazing. You can read the full review here.
Concerts coming up in 2017

The David Bromberg Quintet play Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, Sept. 7.
Tickets are $30-$65, going on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, May 15, at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St., scottsdaleperformingarts.com and 480-847-4681. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing surcharges. All ages welcome.
The Americana veteran Dr. John once declared “an American music icon” released “The Blues, The Whole Blues and Nothing But The Blues” on Red House Records last October. Produced by Levon Helm and Bob Dylan’s long-time collaborator Larry Campbell, Bromberg’s first album since 2013 is a mix of deep cuts from the blues genre and original compositions. Bromberg found his inspiration for the album when he heard Willie Nelson repeat a quote from Texas fiddler Johnny Gimble: “There’s only two kinds of music – the Star-Spangled Banner and the Blues.” This is Bromberg’s 18th album, the latest in a solo career that began in 1971 on his self-titled debut.
9/8: Death Cab for Cutie
Death Cab for Cutie have joined an already impressive opening lineup of concerts at downtown Phoenix’s newest live performance venue, the Van Buren.
Led by Ben Gibbard, who’s also one half of the Postal Service, the Bellingham, Wash., indie-rockers’ flair for pretty, melancholy ballads served them well when songs from 2003’s “Transatlanticism” started popping up on TV shows, from “Six Feet Under” to “The O.C.” By 2005, they’d signed a major-label deal and found a new home on alternative radio with “Soul Meets Body,” the first of eight Top 10 hits on that format, including the chart-topping “You Are a Tourist” and two songs from “Kintsugi,” their latest release (“Black Sun” and “The Ghosts of Beverly Drive.”)
In addition to Death Cab for Cutie’s performance on Friday, Sept. 8, the venue announced a show with West Coast rapper Too Short on Saturday, Sept. 2. Tickets to both concerts go on sale this Friday, May 26, at thevanburenphx.com.
The Van Buren officially opens its doors in late August. The first show on the books for now is Wednesday, Aug. 23, a benefit for Rosie’s House, among the largest free music after-school programs in the nation, with Long Beach, Calif., indie rockers Cold War Kids.
Two other shows announced since our initial story on the venue opening are Seu Jorge (Sept.5) and Beth Hart (Sept. 12), both of which are on sale now.
9/9: Nickelback
Nickelback’s Feed the Machine Tour is headed to Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix on Saturday, Sept. 9, with Daughtry. The Canadian rockers, led by guitar-playing singer Chad Kroeger, cracked the U.S. market with a six-times-platinum breakthrough called “Silver Side Up” in 2001, following through with an even bigger eight-times-platinum triumph called “All the Right Reasons” four years later. The only foreign act to sell more albums in the States between the years 2000 and 2009 was the Beatles. Their hits include the chart-topping “How You Remind Me,” “Someday,” “Photograph,” “Far Away,” “Rockstar” and “Gotta Be Somebody,” all of which went Top 10 on the Hot 100. Billboard ranked “How You Remind Me” as the biggest-selling rock song of the decade. They’re currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their ninth album, “Feed The Machine,” set for release on Friday, June 9.
Details: 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $25-$125. livenation.com and ticketmaster.com.
9/10: Florida Georgia Line with Nelly
Florida Georgia Line will bring Nelly and Chris Lane to Ak-Chin Pavilion on Sunday, Sept. 10.
Get tickets at at ticketmaster.com.
The country duo and Nelly are touring together, of course, because of their collaboration on the remix of “Cruise,” a bro-country landmark that five years later, remains the biggest-release digital release the country genre has ever produced.
Four subsequent Florida Georgia Line followed “Cruise” to No. 1 on Billboard’s country charts while going multi-platinum — “Stay,” the Luke Bryan-assisted “This is How We Roll,” “Dirt” and “H.O.L.Y.” (from their latest album, “Dig Your Roots”).
9/15: Grown & Sexy 20
UrbanAZ will present the 20th installment of Grown & Sexy featuring K-Ci & JoJo, Ginuwine, Kelly Price and Bobby V at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15 at the historic Celebrity Theatre. The concert coincides with a landmark 50th Birthday Bash for UrbanAZ promoter, Derek Ware.
K-Ci & JoJo consists of Monroe, N.C., siblings Cedric “K-Ci” Hailey and Joel “JoJo” Hailey. The ballad specialists got their first taste of fame as half of the R&B group Jodeci. After three successful Jodeci albums, they left to do K-Ci & JoJo, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 with the soulful ballad “All My Life,” which fueled the triple-platinum sales of their debut, “Love Always.” Other hits include “Tell Me It’s Real” and “Crazy.” In 2010, they appeared in a T.V. ONE reality show called K-Ci and JoJo Come Clean.
Ginuwine was one of R&B’s preeminent love men during the ’90s heyday of hip-hop soul. Initially teamed with Timbaland, Ginuwine has released a number of multi-platinum-selling albums and singles. Hits include “Pony,” “Differences” and “So Anxious.” Ginuwine is also an actor. Movie credits include “Honey” (2003) and “Juwanna Man” (2001), as well as several episodes of TVs’ Parks and Recreation (2014).
One of R&B’s most powerful voices belongs to Kelly Price. The multi-platinum singer spent her early years lending backing vocals to stars like Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Faith Evans and Brian McKnight. She sang “Jesus Loves Me” with Whitney Houston just days before Houston’s death, and again at her memorial service. The nine-time Grammy nominee is just as revered for her own body of work with the hits “It’s My Time” and the R&B chart-topper “Friend of Mind.” In 2016, Price lent her vocal chops to Kanye West and Chance the Rapper’s “Ultralight Beam.”
Bobby Wilson — more commonly known as Bobby V — broke into the R&B music scene with his debut album, “Bobby Valentino,” in 2005. The project produced his first major single “Slow Down.” Popular hits followed with “Anonymous,” a feature on Lil Wayne’s song “Mrs. Officer,” and “Pimpin’ All Over the World” with Ludacris. “Hollywood Hearts,” his latest album, was released last year and also serves as the soundtrack for his BET original film of the same name.

9/21: Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson is bringing the State of the World Tour to Talking Stick Resort Arena Thursday, Sept. 21.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 5, at ticketmaster.com.
Produced by Live Nation, the State of the World Tour is set for a 56-city run beginning September 7, in Lafayette. Tickets for the newly scheduled dates will go on sale on May 5. Tickets held for previous “Unbreakable” tour events that are now re-scheduled will be honored at the new dates. For more information please visit livenation.com.
The legendary entertainer began her sold out “Unbreakable” tour in August 2015, but just one year ago reached out directly to fans via Twitter with news of her focusing on starting a family, confirmed months later with the arrival of her first child. Jackson has taken the past year to enjoy pregnancy and motherhood, and is now ready to return to the live stage to give the fans everything they could hope for in one epic concert event. The State of the World Tour is a continuation of the “Unbreakable” tour and will include fan favorites from her chart-topping “Unbreakable” album, an array of the socially conscious music she’s released throughout her career, and other smash hits and soon-to-be released new tracks with a state of the art live production.
Jackson has won six Grammys, two Emmys, a Golden Globe Award and a nomination for an Academy Award along with dozens of American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She has received accolades as an actress as well, including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. With sales of more than 160 million records worldwide, Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture.
9/22: 93.3 Alt AZ Dia de Los Alt
Local alternative-radio station 93.3 Alt AZ is bringing Bleachers, Bishop Briggs, New Politics and Sir Sly to Fear Farm for a festival called Dia de Los Alt on Friday, Sept. 22.
Fronted by Jack Antonoff of fun., Bleachers topped the alternative songs chart with their first song, “I Wanna Get Better,” and followed with a Top 5 entry on the same chart, “Rollercoaster.”
Both songs were featured on a debut titled “Strange Desire,” which included guest appearances by Grimes and Yoko Ono. Yes, that Yoko Ono. PopMatters said of the album: ” ‘Strange Desire’ most certainly proves at least one thing: Nate Ruess isn’t the only guy in fun. who can write a hell of a pop song. And really, that’s all that should ever matter to anyone who chooses to give Bleachers the time of day in the first place.”
Three years later, they’re touring a second album, “Gone Now,” of which Entertainment Weekly noted, “On the proper follow-up to ‘Strange Desire,’ Antonoff is more sonically self-assured and conceptually mission-driven, weaving together a 12-song cycle inspired by the heartbreaking death of his sister, Sarah, from brain cancer when he was 18.”
Tickets are $35, on sale now at ticketfly.com.
9/24 Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes are bringing Beach House to Comerica Theatre on Sept. 24.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 12, at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com.
The tour is in support of their forthcoming followup to 2011’s “Helplessness Blues,” a rustic gem whose more inspired moments felt like Brian Wilson writing harmonies for Crosby, Stills & Nash.
The much-anticipated “Crack-Up” hits the streets on June 16.
The lead single, a majestic chamber-folk suite called “Third of May / ?daigahara,” made our playlist of best March singles. In an interview with Pitchfork, Robin Pecknold talked about the inspiration for the single – his relatoinship with Skyler Skjelset, the childhood friend with whom he formed Fleet Foxes in 2006. The date in the title refers to May 3, 2011, the release date of “Helplessness Blues,” their previous effort, after which they embarked on a lengthy hiatus. It’s also Skjelset’s birthday. “It addresses our distance in the years after touring that album, the feeling of having an unresolved, unrequited relationship that is lingering psychologically,” Pecknold said. “Even if some time apart was necessary and progressive for both of us as individuals, I missed our connection, especially the one we had when we were teenagers, and the lyrics for the song grew out of that feeling.”
9/26: Imagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons are launching their tour in support of “Evolve” at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Sept. 26 with special guests Grouplove and K.Flay.
“Evolve” is set to be released June 23.

“Believer” spent six consecutive weeks at No. 1 at alternative radio and broke a record that had stood more than 13 years for number of spins at the format, besting by Linkin Park’s “Faint” in the process. TIME called “Believer” “another showstopper of an anthem,” while Entertainment Weekly noted its “thudding tribal drums, a massive shout along chorus, and a wicked bassline that’s the sonic equivalent of a slug to the gut.”
Verified pre-sale goes from 10 a.m. Monday, May 15 to 10 p.m. Thursday, May 18. Fans can register now for early access to tickets at presale.imaginedragonsmusic.com.

The tour is in support of “After Laughter,” their first album in more than four years. The first video, “Hard Times,” has earned more than 25 million views on YouTube in its first month of release, while second video “Told You So” has pulled in more than 7 million in just two weeks.
“After Laughter” will be celebrated with a series of high-profile TV appearances, beginning this Wednesday, May 17, with an outdoor mini-concert on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” They’re playing “Told You So” on CBS’ “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Wednesday, May 24, and appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America on Friday, Aug. 25, at part of its 2017 GMA Summer Concert Series.

“After Laughter” was recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A – Paramore’s first time recording in their hometown. Produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen and Paramore’s own Taylor York, the album also marks the return of original Paramore member Zac Farro. Billboard declared the song “Hard Times” to be “an addictive, Talking Heads-inspired jam that sounds like it could follow ‘Ain’t It Fun’ as a Hot 100 smash,” while Rolling Stone praising “Told You So” as “polyrhythmic funk-pop.” And Variety raved about the album: “Paramore has never sounded — or looked — more defiantly joyous… ‘After Laughter’ sounds like it’s about when life kicks you in the gonads. Instead of crying about it, hopefully Paramore will come back fighting and chop life’s head clean off.”
9/27: Depeche Mode
New Wave legends Depeche Mode are returning to Ak-Chin Pavilion on Wednesday, Sept. 27, on the U.S. leg of the Global Spirit tour. Depeche Mode – Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher – plan to release a new album Friday, March 17. Q Magazine has called “Spirit” “the most energized Depeche Mode album in years.”
Details: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 27. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $30-$99.50. livenation.com and ticketmaster.com.
10/3: The Shins with Spoon
The Shins and Spoon will be playing four concerts together this year. And one of those concerts is happening right in Phoenix (your reporter is resisting the urge to end that sentence with several exclamation marks).
The tour hits Comerica Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 3, in support of two of this year’s most acclaimed releases, the Shins’ “Heartworms” and Spoon’s “Hot Thoughts.” Tickets are $39.50-$50 and available through ticketfly.com.
The Shins recently headlined the opening night of McDowell Mountain Music Festival, where the songs from that new album, of which there were many, more than held their own against such classics as “Caring is Creepy” and “New Slang.” You can see how that set went, complete with pictures, here.
In an interview quoted on Pitchfork, James Mercer, the last remaining member of the “Oh, Inverted World” lineup, said the new music is closer to the way they sounded on their first three albums by design.
“I’m really excited about this record,” he said. “I think we’ve got something that Shins fans will really love, and I think there’s some other things on there that are different enough. I made a concerted effort on certain songs to fit the palette, to use the palette that I’ve used historically for the band.”
Spoon’s fourth album in a row to crack the Top 10, “Hot Thoughts,” was released to just the sort of hyperventilating praise you can expect from critics when a new Spoon album hits the streets. And with good reason. They’ve already given us a number of the century’s best rock releases. And this new one more than lives up to the promise of that legacy. I now defer you to the wisdom of the Consequence of Sound reviewed who suggest that Britt Daniel’s “big statement is his Body of Work, of which every fine part adds up to a greater sum. Here comes another one.”
10/4: Father John Misty
Father John Misty is playing the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix on Wednesday, Oct. 4, in support of “Pure Comedy.”
Tickets are on sale at phoenix.ticketforce.com.
The singer’s darkly comic narratives, often done in character, have marked Misty as his generation’s Randy Newman – not that I see Pixar work in Misty’s future. “Pure Comedy” is guaranteed to figure prominently on the shortlist of the year’s most celebrated albums, a third straight triumph for the singer-songwriter. Mojo said this album lifts him “to another level altogether,” while the Skinny raved: “He embraces the role, plays up to it, uses it to bend and manipulate the parameters of modern rock music and has managed to create something bitingly acerbic and cynical, yet achingly sincere. Again.”
He topped our playlist of best February singles with a track from “Pure Comedy” called “Ballad of the Dying Man,” on which he turns his darkly comic eye for detail on a self-important know-it-all who wonders on his deathbed if he’s “successfully beaten back the rising tide of idiots, dilettantes and fools on his watch.”
Weyes Blood opens.
10/5 Flaming Lips and Mac DeMarco
The Flaming Lips and Mac DeMarco are playing Comerica Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 5.
The Lips last played the Valley last October at the Arizona State Fair, a magical night to which I responded in my review (which you can read in its entirety just by clicking these words):
“It takes a certain breed of entertainer to lead the members of an audience on an emotional journey from the smile-inducing spectacle of ‘Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 1,’ with Wayne Coyne surrounded by giant inflatables, including Santa Claus, to the existential majesty of ‘Do You Realize??,’ which brought me to tears.
And I’m pretty sure the Flaming Lips would be the only actual entertainers in that certain breed.
Coyne is such a bizarre, enigmatic performer, giving into the silliest aspects of the task at hand, with his bag of confetti, his smoke gun and his crazy jacket with strands of multi-colored lights hanging like extra-long fringe, while gleefully spreading his message of peace and love and making the most of the moment you’re in because ‘you realize that everyone you know someday will die.’”
Tickets are on sale at ticketmaster.com, the Comerica Theatre box office and 800-745-3000.
The Canadian singer-songwriter most likely to perform nude (with apologies to Gordon Lightfoot), DeMarco is touring an album titled “This Old Dog,” his much-anticipated followup to “Another One.”
DeMarco is known for two things – songs that reach inside your soul and force you to reflect on what you’ve done and how you plan to make it right, and being a total goof onstage. A bit Paul Westerberg in that respect. And as Smokey Robinson, who may not have been writing specifically about DeMarco, could tell you, “There’s some sad things known to man / But ain’t too much sadder than the tears of a clown.”
I caught his set last Friday at Coachella, writing:
“He mocked his placement on the bill. … He brought out former bassist Pierce McGarry for an extended bit in which the bassist kept insisting he was actually Orlando Bloom. … He joked about King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, whose set had preceded his own on that stage. And he joked with a fan in the audience about his hat. … As for the music, it was often as sublime as his behavior was ridiculous, from ‘Salad Days’ through ‘On the Level.’ “
10/8: Scorpions
The Scorpions Crazy World Tour is bringing Megadeth to Talking Stick Resort Arena on Sunday, Oct. 8.
Tickets are $40-$125 at www.dannyzeliskopresents.com.
Why Crazy World? If you have to ask:
“When our album ‘Crazy World’ was released back in ’91, right at the end of the Cold War,” Klaus Meine says, “we toured around a world that was pretty crazy back then, but there was so much hope in the air for a more peaceful future. Now, 26 years later, things are getting more crazy every other day. After all these years, Crazy World is still a good motto for our upcoming world tour. We are very much looking forward to seeing all of you out there.
Founded in Hannover, West Germany, in 1965, Scorpions released their debut album, “Lonesome Crow,” released in 1972. They rose to arena status with seminal releases “Lovedrive,” “Virgin Killer” and “Animal Magnetism.” In 1982, they topped the U.S. rock charts with “No One Like You,” a soaring power ballad they soon followed with their first Top 40 single, “Rock You Like a Hurricane.” Their biggest U.S. hit came later with another ballad, “Wind of Change.” They finished 46th on VH1’s Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, and “Rock You Like a Hurricane” was No. 18 on VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.
The set will offer a mix of fan favorites and highlights of their 19th studio release, “Return To Forever,” released in 2015 as part of their 50th anniversary festivities.
10/8: Tom Rush
Tom Rush is playing Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, October 8, accompanied by Matt Nokoa with special guest Danny O’Keefe.
Tickets ($65, $40, and $25) go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, May 15 at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St. or online at scottsdaleperformingarts.com. To charge by phone, call 480-847-4681. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing surcharges. All ages welcome.
Now celebrating more than 50 years of touring, Rush’s impact on the American music scene has been profound. He helped shape the folk revival in the ’60s and the renaissance of the ’80s and ’90s, his music having left its stamp on generations of artists. Rush’s early recordings introduced the world to the work of Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor, and in more recent years his Club 47 concerts have brought artists such as Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin to wider audiences when they were just beginning to build their own reputations.
Rush began his musical career in the early ’60s playing the Boston-area clubs while a Harvard student. The Club 47 was the flagship of the coffee house fleet, and he was soon holding down a weekly spot there, learning from the legendary artists who came to play, honing his skills and growing into his talent. He had released two albums by the time he graduated. Rush displayed then, as he does today, an uncanny knack for finding wonderful songs, and writing his own – many of which have become classics re-interpreted by new generations. Signed by Elektra in 1965, Rush made three albums for them, culminating in “The Circle Game,” which, according to Rolling Stone, ushered in the singer-songwriter era.
10/14: Macklemore
Macklemore is bringing his Gemini Tour to Tempe’s Marquee Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 14. The Gemini Tour in support of the hitmaker’s upcoming solo album, his first in over 10 years.
The cross-country run of dates will provide fans with their first time to see Macklemore perform his new album.
The viral video for hit single “Glorious” starring Macklemore’s 100-year-old grandmother has pulled in more than 30 million views in less than a month, while the video for “Marmalade” starring a Mini Macklemore and a Lil Lil Yachty has been viewed more than 11 million times in less than a week. “Glorious” continues to climb the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify Global Top 50, racking up 1.8 million streams a day.

He became a favorite on Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Comedy Jam in the 1990s and came to prominence in his first starring role, the 1995 cult classic “Friday,” starring alongside Ice Cube. In 1997, Tucker was an executive producer and co-starred in “Money Talks” with Charlie Sheen. He then appeared in the highly successful Luc Besson film “The Fifth Element.”
In 2006, he negotiated an unprecedented $25 million salary to appear in “Rush Hour 3,” which at the time made him the highest paid actor in Hollywood. Tucker co-starred in the 2013 Oscar-nominated film “Silver Linings Playbook” with Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
10/21: A$AP Mob

Founding guitarist John Petrucci says, “It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 25 years since ‘Images’ was released! We’ve been having a blast playing those songs each night, and sharing memories and stories from our time in the studio back in 1992. We know that this is such an important album to so many of our fans, both old and new, so we plan on making this a really special night by playing ‘I&W ‘in its entirety as well as breaking out some rare material, and a few of our latest tunes, in order to make this landmark evening compete.”

Thrice and Circa Survive have teamed up on a co-headlining tour that makes its way to Mesa Amphitheatre on Nov. 11.
These are Thrice’s final shows before returning to the studio to start recording their 10th album. And it’s more than a little surprising that they would be heading back into the studio this soon. Last year’s “To Be Everywhere is to Be Nowhere” was their first release in five years, to which an unqualified rave at Sputnikmusic responded with, “This is an album as cohesive and thunderous as it would have been if it had come out in 2014.”
Tickets are $29.99.
The fan club presale has begun. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, July 28, at mesaamp.com.
11/14-15: Tedeschi Trucks Band
What’s even better than Tedeschi Trucks Band playing the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix? Tedeschi Trucks Band playing the Orpheum Theatre two nights in a row, Nov. 14 and 15.
Both shows start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $39-$125, goin on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, June 12 at phoenix.ticketforce.com, the Orpheum box office, 203 W Adams St., Phoenix, and 602-534-5611. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing surcharges. All ages welcome.
Susan Tedeschi had already earned five Grammy nominations by the time she and her husband, slide guitarist Derek Trucks, joined forces, bringing home a best-blues-album Grammy for their first joint effort, “Revelator,” which felt a bit like Derek and the Dominoes as fronted by a woman, blending blues and soul with occasional hints of a ’70s soft-rock vibe.
And they’re still going strong two albums later, hitting the road in continued support of “Let Me Get By,” which inspired a PopMatters writer to rave that it’s “finally the record that capitalizes on the promise this collective has had from the start.”
They recently released “Live From the Fox Oakland,” a CD/DVD recorded at a show that set a new peak in the continuing story of this great American rock & roll family band. The double disc live recording showcases the band’s ability to move seamlessly from blistering rock and blues to soulful ballads and includes their take on classics from Derek and the Dominos (see?), Leonard Cohen, and even Miles Davis among TTB’s original songs.
11/18: Fall Out Boy
Talking Stick Resort Arena in downtown Phoenix is the final stop on the “M A N I A” tour for Fall Out Boy on Saturday, Nov. 18.
Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning Monday, May 1. General tickets will be available to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, May 5, at ticketmaster.com.
One dollar of every ticket sold will benefit a number of Chicago-area charities via the newly launched Fall Out Boy Fund.
The news of the tour was accompanied by the release of “Young and Menace,” the first taste of their seventh album, “M A N I A,” which is set to arrive Sept. 15.
Pete Wentz says, “There’s a lyric in the song, ‘trying to send the world a message, I was young and a menace,’ that reminded me of growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. I didn’t look like anyone there or feel like anyone – I felt like an outsider in my own town. It wasn’t until I discovered punk rock and that community that I realized I did fit in somewhere in this world – with the other people who didn’t fit in. It’s hard to rationalize rage – it’s hard to quantify anxiety … this song does neither, it embraces the wave.” …”
The album is their follow-up album to “American Beauty/American Psycho,” a platinum effort that debuted at No. 1 on Billboard in early 2015.
11/18-19: Goldrush Music Festival
Relentless Beats’ Goldrush Music Festival will bring a mix of EDM and hip-hop acts, including Dillon Francis, Lil Uzi Vert, Snow tha Product, Marshmello, Ugly God, Rich Chigga and the Underachievers, to Rawhide the weekend of Nov.18-19.

11/20: Niall Horan
Fresh from the huge success of his global smash “Slow Hands,” Niall Horan has announced that he’s embarking on the Flicker Sessions 2017 Tour, including a Phoenix performance Nov. 20 at Comerica Theatre.
Having spent the past year working on his debut solo album, Horan is set to bring new music to his fans in a series of intimate shows. Opening on his home turf in Dublin, the tour will travel to London, Stockholm, Sydney and Tokyo before making its way to Los Angeles on September 19. Niall will then stop in Mexico and Rio de Janeiro before crossing North America in November.
Horan has sold more than 70 million records as part of One Direction and has toured the globe numerous times. His debut single “This Town,” released in the fall of 2016, has sold more than three million track equivalent units globally. Combined streams now surpass 350 million worldwide. The Los Angeles Times said, “The guitar ballad is a tender, swoon-worthy number” and Entertainment Weekly hailed it as “a wistful tale of young love lost.”
He followed up the ballad’s release with the grittier R&B-infused track “Slow Hands,” which went to No. 1 in 44 countries and continues to climb the charts around the world. Line of Best Fit said “He’s shed his squeaky clean onesie and donned a crooner coat, giving us one of the coolest, catchiest choruses of 2017 in the process.”
Tickets for the U.S. and Canada go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 15. To ensure that fans get access to tickets, Fan Registration for the U.S. and Canadian tour dates will be available through Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program.
11/29: Tori Amos
Tori Amos is bringing her Native Invader Tour to Mesa Arts Center on Nov. 29.
The tour is in support a forthcoming album called “Native Invader,” available on Decca Records on September 8.
Amos is collaborating with Ticketmaster for a pre-sale initiative using the Verified Fan platform, which levels the playing field so fans get optimal access to tickets at toriamos.tmverifiedfan.com.
“Native Invader” is the singer’s 15th studio release, following 2014’s “Unrepentant Geraldines,” her eighth Top 10 album.
Amos says, “The songs on ‘Native Invader’ are being pushed by the Muses to find different ways of facing unforeseen challenges and in some cases dangerous conflicts. The record looks to Nature and how, through resilience, she heals herself. The songs also wrestle with the question: what is our part in the destruction of our land, as well as ourselves, and in our relationships with each other?
In life there can be the shock of unexpected fires, floods, earthquakes, or any cataclysmic ravager – both on the inside and outside of our minds. Sonically and visually, I wanted to look at how Nature creates with her opposing forces, becoming the ultimate regenerator through her cycles of death and re-birth. Time and time again she is able to renew, can we find this renewal for ourselves?”
Nominated for multiple Grammy Awards, Amos has had her songs turned into graphic novels and has produced groundbreaking videos throughout her career.
Doors are $35-$85, going on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 14, at Mesa Arts Center, 1 E Main St., online at boxoffice.mesaartscenter.com/Online/, or by phone, call 480.644.6500.

Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott says, “Very much looking forward to returning to North America with this tour! We are aware that it has been long overdue and we appreciate everyone’s patience while we’ve been creating our new ‘Will To Power’ album. This run will be like a family reunion with our old friends in Trivium; together we’ll be crushing city after city with the power of Heavy Metal!”
