5/30: Ian Anderson presents Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour

Ian Anderson brings his Jethro Tull 50th Anniversary Tour to Comerica Theatre on May 30.  

Jethro Tull are among the biggest-selling progressive-rock acts of all time, performing a blend of folk, blues, classical and heavy rock. The anniversary concerts will feature a broad mix of material, some of it focusing on the earlier formative period through to the “heavy hitters” of the Tull catalog from the albums “This Was,” “Stand Up,” “Benefit,” “Aqualung,” “Thick As A Brick,” “Too Old To Rock And Roll: Too Young To Die,” “Songs From The Wood,” “Heavy Horses,” “Crest Of A Knave” and even a touch of “TAAB2” from 2012.

Anderson says:  “I am not usually a birthday or anniversary kind of guy but, just for once, I won’t be a party-pooper either! I treasure the memories of the earlier years of Jethro Tull repertoire, associated as it is with the adventures of visiting so many countries for the first time to connect with new fans around the world. And this is a celebration of all the 33 band members who graced our ranks – musicians who brought their talents, skills and styles to bear on the performances live and in the studio. Join me and the current band for a nostalgic evening of varied music, representative of my ever-changing songwriting as our careers progressed through the years.”

Ian Anderson is accompanied by Tull musicians David Goodier (bass), John O’Hara (keyboards), Florian Opahle (guitar), Scott Hammond (drums) and surprise virtual guests

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 17, at Ticketmaster.com and the box office.

1/28: Adam Ant

Adam Ant will bring Anthems the Singles Tour to Phoenix Sunday, Jan. 28 for a 7:30 p.m. show at the historic Celebrity Theatre.

Reserved tickets ($35, $55 and $75) go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, November 17th at CelebrityTheatre.com and Celebrity Theatre’s box office, 440 N. 32nd St., in Phoenix. To order by phone, call 602.267.1600. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing fees. All ages welcome.

I caught his previous tour in Tucson earlier this year and it was everything a fan could hope to witness in 2017

As I wrote at the time:

“Few relics of the New Wave era have held onto the eccentricities that made them matter in the first place with more style or substance than the album that made Adam and the Ants perhaps the most unusual overnight sensations of their generation, the colorful “Kings of the Wild Frontiers.”

“That made the prospect of seeing Ant perform the U.K. version of the album live in its entirety well worth a pilgrimage to Tucson for a sold-out concert Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017, at the Rialto Theatre.

“And as tempting as it may have been to make some sort of reference to “Stand and Deliver” here, I will say that he did deliver, but he didn’t do much standing, dancing and working the stage with a youthful exuberance most entertainers half his age would do well to aspire to in his black leather pants and dashing pirate garb.”

As the title of this tour suggests, it’s more a greatest-style show, he’s promised to sprinkle in an assortment of rare singles, B sides and personal favorites. For more information, visit http://www.adam-ant.com

Based on Pollstar mid-year reports, the tour – which kicked off in April – ranks 1 for Average Grossing Country Tour worldwide and in the U.S.

8/12: Weezer/Pixies

Two legendary acts whose music helped define the sound of the ‘90s alternative-rock explosion – Weezer and Pixies – are set to wrap their summer co-headlining tour with a concert at Ak-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix Sunday,  Aug. 12.

Although they have shared stages in the past, this is the first full tour they’ve ever done together.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 10. Weezer fans can sign up now at weezer.com for their email list now for access to a special Weezer pre-sale set to begin at 11 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 6.

“We’re all big Weezer fans,” says Pixies’ Black Francis, “so we’re really looking forward to this summer. We have a lot of respect for Weezer. They’re not afraid to take risks with their music.”

The tour announcement arrives on the heels of last Friday’s release of “Pacific Daydream,” Weezer’s acclaimed 11th studio release, which sent the single “Feels Like Summer” to the top of the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.

Their tour with Pixies will see them playing a mix of new songs and classics from their 25-year catalog, featuring countless chart-topping hits.

Pixies’ live shows are the stuff of legend and they sounded great at last month’s Lost Lake Festival, making our list of the festival’s five best performances.

2/22: Styx

STYX return to the Celebrity Theater for the first time in 15 years at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22.

They’re touring a new album called “The Mission.”

“The planets truly aligned for The Mission, and I couldn’t be prouder,” says STYX vocalist-guitarist Tommy Shaw, who co-wrote the album’s storyline with longtime collaborator Will Evankovich (Shaw Blades, The Guess Who). Continues Shaw, “It’s our boldest, most emblematic album since ‘Pieces of Eight.’”

Adds STYX co-founding guitarist/vocalist James “JY” Young, “This album is an incredible artistic expression that resonates with the best parts of our past, but is intended for modern-day consumption. I’m very excited about it.”

Shaw says, “It’s been so long since we made a STYX album like the ones we did before, because so much has changed. We are rough-edged and badass when we’re out on the road, and we know it. But, to a man, while we were making this record, everyone got very real and dug down deep in unfamiliar territory, and gave the performances you hear. Anything we can do to make the songs better — that’s what we do. It was all hands on deck, and it’s such a cool thing after all these years to still have that together. To have this album come out now, when the brotherhood of the band has never been stronger, well — it’s the sweet dream we never imagined. The truth is, it is a dream fulfilled.”

As excited as they are about the new release, the concert will cover a wide range of stylistic cornerstones, from “The Grand Illusion” to “Blue Collar Man,” from “Lady” and “Come Sail Away” to “Renegade.”

Tickets ($45, $75 and $110) go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 13 at?Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd?St., in Phoenix, or online at?www.celebritytheatre.com. To charge by phone, call 602-267-1600 ext. 1. All tickets are subject to facility and ticketing surcharges. All?ages welcome.

Noah debuted his 9th comedy special “Afraid of the Dark” in February 2017 on Netflix. The special was shot before a packed house at the Beacon Theatre in New York City last November. Last year, Noah debuted his one-hour stand-up special, “Trevor Noah: Lost in Translation,” on Comedy Central.

5/8: “Weird Al” Yankovic

“Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour – a stripped-down, no-frills production – to Mesa Arts Center on May 8.

 Tickets go on sale at noon, Friday, Oct. 20 at Ticketmaster.com.

After his highly successful Mandatory World Tour (200 dates including the Hollywood Bowl and Radio City Music Hall), Yankovic decided he wanted to take a break from the high-octane theatrics that he’s known for and go bare-bones – no costumes, no props, no video screens… just Al and his band of three decades hanging out on stage, playing music. Because of the nature of the show, Yankovic will be performing exclusively in intimate theatres and settings.

Drawing from a back catalogue of 14 studio albums, Weird Al promises a different set list every night. No two shows along the tour will be the same. And rather than focusing on the hits from his career, the show will feature Yankovic’s non-parody material – the deep cuts and obscure tracks.

According to Al: “After 35 years of big productions, I just wanted to take it down a few notches and have a little musical palate cleanser. This show will be loose, unpredictable, and maybe a bit sloppy – we’ll be making it up as we go along!”

Opening the show each night will be Al’s long-time friend (and UHF cast member), the legendary comedian Emo Philips.

“Weird Al” Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time. His most recent release “Mandatory Fun” (2014) was the first comedy album in history to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200. In November 2017, Legacy Recordings will release the career-spanning “Squeeze Box: The Complete Recordings of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic,” including all 14 of his studio albums re-mastered for vinyl and CD, plus a rarities album and 120-page book of photos from the archives, all housed in a replica of his signature accordion.

8/31: Sam Smith

Sam Smith will play Gila River Arena in Glendale Friday, Aug. 31, on a tour in support of “The Thrill of It All,” his sophomore album due Nov. 3.

A 24-hour presale for fans begins at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, at samsmithworld.com. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, at ticketmaster.com and the box office.

Smith performed on “Saturday Night Live” Oct. 7.

The singer recently gave fans a taste of his new album during a series of intimate shows in London, New York, Los Angeles and Berlin. “The Thrill Of It All” finds Smith once again working with close friend and long-time collaborator Jimmy Napes plus Timbaland, Malay, Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd and Stargate. 

“Too Good At Goodbyes,” the album’s first single, topped the U.S. iTunes chart and Billboard digital song sales chart while becoming his sixth chart-topping U.K. single. Rolling Stone hailed “Too Good At Goodbyes” as “poignant” while Time observed, “Cue the swelling violins, gospel chorus and Smith’s inevitable return to dominance.”  

Released in June 2014, Smith’s “In The Lonely Hour” is the biggest selling U.K. male debut in the SoundScan era and has sold 13 million adjusted albums worldwide.

Smith set a Grammy record in 2015, winning the most awards ever received by a U.K. artist following the release of a debut. He was named Best New Artist while “In The Lonely Hour” won Best Pop Vocal Album and “Stay With Me” won both Record and Song of the Year. Smith has also earned an Oscar and a Golden Globe award.

Bob Seger postponed for medical reasons

2018 concert announcements

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.”

1/9: Markiplier

Youtube star Markiplier is bringing his You’re Welcome Tour to Comerica Theatre on Jan. 9.

The YouTube personality, whose channel has more than 18 million subscribers and 6 billion video views, is mixing improv games, sketches and a cast of characters to create an on-stage adventure with the help of fellow YouTubers LordMinion777, Muyskerm, Tyler Scheid and CrankGameplays.

1/12-13: Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons return to the Celebrity Theatre for two shows – Friday, January 19, and Saturday, January 20.

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.

1/18: Joe Satriani’s G3

Joe Satriani is bringing his G3 tour with Dream Theater’s John Petrucci and Def Leppard’s Phil Collen to Mesa Arts Center on Thursday, Jan. 18. 

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 6. To get in on the presale, sign up for the mailing list at dannyzeliskopresents.com.

Since its debut in 1996, the G3 tour has featured the world’s greatest guitarists (everyone from Steve Vai and Eric Johnson to Steve Lukather and Robert Fripp).

“I could say that I’m surprised at the durability of G3 and how much it’s grown, but in a way I’m not,” Satriani says with a laugh, “I think part of its charm and its mojo is in the chemistry of having three top guitarists share what they do on stage. It’s fun, it’s unpredictable, it’s wild – it’s everything you could want in a show.”

The tour is also partly in support of Satriani’s 16th solo album, “What Happens Next,” set for release on Jan. 12, which features Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple on bass and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, who previously worked with Satriani in Chickenfoot.

1/19: 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.”

1/26: The Temptations and Four Top

The Temptations and Four Tops will bring their co-headlining tour to Comerica Theatre on Friday, Jan. 26.

Inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, the Temptations are among the biggest-selling singing groups in history.

2/13: Lana Del Rey

Fresh from topping Billboard’s album chart with “Lust for Life,” Lana Del Rey has announced that she’s launching a La to the Moon tour with a stop Talking Stick Resort Arena on Feb. 13, with an opening set by Kali Uchis.

Anyone who purchases an item or music from shoplanadelrey.com before 8:59 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 28 will qualify for access to an exclusive pre-sale for the tour, which starts Friday, Sept. 29 on her website, LanaDelRey.com. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Monday, Oct. 2. at Livenation.com.

“Lust for Life” includes collaborations with The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, Stevie Nicks and Sean Lennon. 

“Throughout this accomplished, assured new record,” writes the Line of Best Fit, “Lana manages to repeatedly freeze time and capture those fleeting cinematic moments that make us who we are, while reminding us of who we could be.”

The 405 called it “the next electrifying, dramatic and essential scene in Lana Del Rey: the motion picture.” And Prefix raved, “Although the reinvention teased before release never materializes, Lust for Life is still a return to form which should cement Del Rey’s status as the queen of femme fatale pop.”

Del Rey rose to fame on the strength of a self-directed viral video for a bittersweet ballad called “Video Games.” Posted in October 2011, that clip has been viewed more than 172 million times. And that was just her first move.

Del Rey’s musical identity is unlike any other platinum-selling pop star’s of her generation. And her persona is just as distinct. It’s as though she walked out of a Leonard Cohen song convinced that what this world really needed was a new Brigitte Bardot. Or was it more a Serge Gainsbourg song wearing Nancy Sinatra’s boots? She’s covered Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel No. 2” and “Blue Velvet,” a standard done by everyone from Bobby Vinton to the Clovers but sounds like it was written for Del Rey. 

Her hits include “Summertime Sadness,” Young and Beautiful” and “West Coast.”

2/17: Miranda Lambert

Miranda Lambert is bringing her Livin’ Like Hippies tour to Talking Stick Resort Arena on Saturday, Feb. 17. The tour takes its name from a line in Lambert’s “Highway Vagabond,” a highlight of her latest album, “The Weight of These Wings,” a two-record set that’s been certified platinum.

She’ll be joined by Jon Pardi and Lucie Silvas.

2/26: Robert Plant

Robert Plant will play Symphony Hall on Feb. 26 in support of the soon-to-be-released “Carry Fire.”

In an effort at getting tickets into the hands of fans and not scalpers or bots, the singer is collaborating with Ticketmaster to sell presale tickets through its Verified Fan program. Fans can visit robertplant.tmverifiedfan.com to register for Verified Fan Presale access now until registration closes at noon Eastern time on Wednesday, Sept. 27. Those verified and selected will receive a text invitation two to four hours before the Presale begins at noon Eastern time on Thursday, Sept. 28. The general public onsale will be Friday, Sept. 29.

All online tickets purchase include either a CD or digital copy of the new release, which Nonesuch/Warner Bros. will release on Friday, Oct.13. It’s now available for pre-order at all digital music retailers and via www.robertplant.com. All pre-orders include instant downloads of “The May Queen,” “Bones of Saints” and the just-released recording of the Ersel Hickey classic “Bluebirds Over The Mountain” with Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. In addition, all pre-orders made through Nonesuch or robertplant.com  will receive an exclusive limited edition print inspired by the album’s cover art.

Rolling Stone praised “The May Queen” for its “winsome guitar melodies and rhythms” and the “thunderous” “Bones of Saints” for its “rustic guitars and thumping tom-toms.” Consequence of Sound said “Eastern rhythms are given a warm vibe with the psychedelic leanings of guitar.” And NPR Music said, “Using American folk instrumentation to play altered versions of foreign melodies creates an intoxicating mood, Plant continues to explore his love of the blues and global music on a beautiful new single called ‘The May Queen,’ further hailing the track as “a sweetly innocent reflection on aging and the undying power of love to inspire and give life.”

His eleventh solo album and first full-length release since 2014’s acclaimed “Lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar,” “Carry Fire” was produced by Plant and features The Sensational Space Shifters: Justin Adams on guitar, acoustic guitar, oud, E-bow quartet, percussion, snare drum, tambourine; John Baggott on keyboards, moog, loops, percussion, drums, brass arrangement, t’bal, snare drum, slide guitar, piano, electric piano, bendir; Billy Fuller on bass, keyboards and drum programming; Dave Smith on bendir, tambourine, djembe, drum kit; and Liam “Skin” Tyson on dobro, guitar, acoustic guitar, pedal steel, twelve-string.

In addition to Hynde, guests include Albanian cellist Redi Hasa, and Seth Lakeman, who contributes viola and fiddle to three tracks. Lakeman will join the Sensational Space Shifters on all upcoming tour dates.

Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters spent nearly two years on the road together supporting “Lullaby and…The Ceaseless Roar.”

“It’s about intention,” Plant says of the new release. “I respect and relish my past works but each time I feel the trawl and incentive to create new work. I must mix old with new. Consequently the whole impetus of the band has moved on its axis somewhat, the new sound and different space giving way to exciting and dramatic landscapes of mood, melody and instrumentation.”

3/1: P!NK

Pink has announced that her Beautiful Trauma Tour willl launch in Phoenix with a Talking Stick Resort Arena concert on Thursday, March 1.

3/9-11: Cirque du Soleil

The Cirque du Soleil tour is headed to Talking Stick Resort Arena for six shows from March 8-11.

Crystal is the 42nd production from Cirque du Soleil and the first time they’ve done it on ice. World-class skaters and acrobats will “challenge the laws of gravity with a flurry of unexpected acrobatics.”

According to the press release, “Crystal, the show’s main character, sets out on a quest to fulfill her destiny as she dives into a world of her own imagination. She soars through this surreal world at high speed to become what she was always destined to be: confident, freed, empowered.”

Daniel Fortin, the show’s executive director of creation, says, “Crystal breaks the codes of the traditional ice show by creating a unique form of entertainment. To reach this objective, we brought together the best experts in their respective worlds. With this new show, the audience will discover the infinite possibilities that ice adds to the prowess of circus arts.”

Tickets for performances in Phoenix are on exclusive pre-sale online for Cirque Club members now at www.cirquedusoleil.com/crystal. General on-sale begins Friday, Sept. 22, at ticketmaster.com.

3/16: Lorde

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.

“Bringing the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience to audiences earlier this year was a dream come true, dating back to an idea hatched over three years ago,” says Djawadi. “The scale and spectacle of the production brought the world of Westeros to life in a truly immersive fashion, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share the experience with fans not only in North America again, but also to cross the narrow sea for the first time and bring the show to Europe.”
