The Most Anticipated Concert Tours Of Fall 2022

After a summer packed with festivals, new albums, comebacks, and chaos, fall is settling in and artists are preparing to go out on some massive tours to bring their music to life. Though many tours have been canceled recently — Santigold , Shawn Mendes , and more due to pandemic-related struggles or otherwise — there’s no reason to fret because a ton of great shows are coming up. And it’s important to support the artists who are heading out on the road despite difficulties. Check out the most anticipated tours of fall 2022 below.

The 1975 are preparing for the release of their new album Being Funny In A Foreign Language . They’re so devoted to playing shows that feel right and special to them that they declined an offer to open up for Ed Sheeran . Frontman Matty Healy has always been both funny and a heartthrob, so being in his presence at these shows is something you don’t want to miss.

Paramore Hitting the Road on Tour for First Time Since 2018

By Jon Blistein

Jon Blistein

Paramore will return to the road on a new tour for the first time in four years this fall.

The trek, which kicks off Oct. 2 at the Mechanics Bank Theater in Bakersfield, California, includes some previously announced festival slots, including Austin City Limits and When We Were Young , the three-day emo/pop-punk blowout in Vegas at the end of October. The band will play a few more shows in November, wrapping Nov. 19 at the Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City.

Tickets for the non-festival dates will go on sale July 22 at 10 a.m. local time via Paramore’s website . A presale (via Ticketmaster) will take place July 20 at 10 a.m. local time through July 21 at 10 p.m. local time; registration for that is open now.

Back in January, Paramore told Rolling Stone they were working on a new album, which will follow 2017’s After Laughter (a title and release date still haven’t been announced). “We wrote and tracked something we loved and it actually surprised us,” Williams said in an email about the band’s first day back in the studio. “We kept joking it was all downhill from that point, but thank God we’ve been surprised a lot throughout this whole thing. I’m always waiting for the moment for us to know we’re onto something new and we’re not just rehashing the same shit. It was ‘Ain’t It Fun’ for our self-titled record and ‘Hard Times’ or ‘Told You So’ for After Laughter. It’s not about it feeling like a hit so much as it’s a scary, exciting feeling that you’re treading uncharted waters. It keeps you curious. We got to feel that feeling early on this time.”

Published on

Multi-platinum Scottish rock band Travis are going on tour this November in select US cities, with tickets and VIP packages on sale now via the band’s website.

The tour kicks off on November 4 in San Francisco at The Fillmore and visits Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York City, and Washington DC. The select string of performances are set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their worldwide chart-topping album The Invisible Band with a special deluxe box set reissue out now on Craft Recordings.

Last year, Travis were forced to cancel their extensive US tour dates due to an unexpected hand injury incurred when frontman Fran Healy rescued a dog caught in a multi-car accident outside of his home. Following Fran’s recovery, the band is excited to return to the US to perform in select major cities.

Surprise Albums: 16 Drops That Shocked The Music World

‘throwing copper’: how live fashioned a platinum-grade alt.rock classic.

On getting to revisit the album with a tour, Healy remarked “To support the re-issue of The Invisible Band on vinyl is exciting to bring it all back home…well, home to where the album was recorded, to the US. It’s been such a long time since we toured America. We cannot wait to get out there and play the album live.”

The Invisible Band is an iconic album from Travis, one that inspired the careers of Keane and Coldplay, along with many others, while charting at No.1 on the UK Albums Chart and holding rank on the Billboard 200 Chart for seven weeks in the US. After only one year of the album’s release, it was certified 4x platinum, marking Travis as one of the most influential bands of the era.

In support of the deluxe reissue, Travis appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show , performing their major hit single “Sing” from inside the historic Saint Luke’s Church in Glasgow. The band also made a special appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden , performing the fan-favorite “Side.”

The deluxe reissue of The Invisible Band is out now, featuring the original album remastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Emily Lazar, as well as original B-sides, previously unreleased demos, live sessions, and alternate takes.

Yes Announces ‘Close to the Edge’ Fall 2022 US Tour

Yes will celebrate the 50th anniversary of  Close to the Edge with a fall 2022 U.S. tour, marking their first stateside outing since 2019.

The prog-rock legends will kick off the trek on Oct. 7 in Glenside, Pa., and wrap on Nov. 19 in Westbury, N.Y. Tickets go on sale on Sept. 2. You can see the full list of tour dates below.

The shows are part of Yes' ongoing The Album Series Tour 2022, which began in the U.K. in June. The tour is dedicated to late Yes drummer Alan White , who died in May. Before the tour kicks off, the band will hold the "Alan White — Celebrating His Life and Music" tribute concert on Oct. 2 at Seattle's Paramount Theatre.

"It is with great sadness that I join with the other members of Yes to acknowledge the passing of our dearest friend and drummer, Alan White," guitarist Steve Howe said in a June 2022 statement. "He gave so many of his best years to the band and was a true believer and determined professional til the very end. Being a kind and loving human being just came naturally to him, with his mellow, non-confrontational personality and abundant generosity, which made him so popular with his friends and everyone he met.”

GWAR Announce Fall 2022 North American Tour Dates

GWAR have announced an additional leg of their  Black Death Rager World Tour,  which will take place throughout North America this fall. Light the Torch , Nekrogoblikon and Crobot are set to support the band throughout the trek.

This newly-announced leg is set to kick off with a performance at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Virginia on Sept. 10 and will continue as a headlining tour the following day in Nashville, Tenn. They'll play two other festivals — Riot Fest in Chicago and Aftershock in Sacramento — and then the run will wrap up in early November in Baltimore, Md. All three aforementioned bands will perform at every regular show except for their Oct. 3 appearance in Vancouver, where only Light the Torch will be absent.

See the full schedule below.

Additionally, the band's collaborative project with Z2 Comics , the  GWAR In the Duoverse of Absurdity  graphic novel, is out today (July 15), and can be ordered here now .

“Long ago,  GWAR  broke the frame of what a rock concert can be. We’ve pushed the envelope of live performance for decades, but this time around, we wanted to do something different. This is the first  GWAR  show conceived to go along with a graphic novel and an album, all working together as one massive hunk of hot steaming shock rock performance ART!" Blothar the Berserker enthused in a press release.

"A can’t-miss cavalcade of chaos, a trash culture trilogy, a shocking extravaganza that will leave you utterly spent, soaking wet, and bawling uncontrollably. We’ve got the coolest storyline, unbelievable new characters, more blood, gore, and gags than ever before. Come, unload your worries, human scum, and let  GWAR  transport you to the Duoverse of absurdity just in time for the New Dark Age!”

The Legendary Temptations Announce Lineup Ahead Of Their Summer & Fall Concert Tours

THE LEGENDARY TEMPTATIONS ANNOUNCE LINEUP AHEAD OF THEIR SUMMER AND FALL CONCERT TOURS—(DR. OTIS WILLIAMS, RON TYSON, TERRY WEEKS, ANTHONY GRANT, AND JAWAN M. JACKSON)

June 6, 2022 (LOS ANGELES, CA) — The Temptations , the legendary, Grammy Award ® -winning group, led by founding member, Otis Williams are kicking off their summer and fall concert seasons this month with fan favorites such as, “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),” “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” and more.

Hitting the road with original Temptations’ member, Otis Williams , will be longtime lead vocalists, Ron Tyson, and Terry Weeks, and recently new to the group, Grammy nominated vocalist Anthony “Tony” Grant, and new member, Jawan M. Jackson, from the original cast of the Tony Award-Winning Broadway musical, Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations. Jackson played in the starring role as beloved, original Temptation, Melvin Franklin.

Jawan M. Jackson will be making his debut with The Temptations this month as the bass vocalist. Born and raised in the heart of Motown, Jawan M. Jackson is a native of Detroit. Jackson made his professional debut starring in Broadway’s Motown: The Musical. In Broadway’s Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations, he originated the leading role of Melvin Franklin and earned a Grammy® nomination for the musical’s cast album. He has also appeared in several feature films, television movies and specials. A graduate of Eastern Michigan University, Jackson began his career as a radio personality for Detroit’s top radio stations. Jackson is also thrilled to be part of the Board of Directors for Rosie’s Theatre Kids.

Anthony Grant , a Grammy-nominated vocalist joined the legendary Temptations earlier this year as a lead vocalist. Born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in North Carolina, Grant achieved his initial fame in the music industry as the lead vocalist for Az Yet (LaFace Records). He has also performed with a range of artists, including Brian McKnight, Dr. Dre, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Celine Dion, Stevie Wonder, and Harry Connick Jr. He has also starred in several Tyler Perry theater productions and television series.

Ron Tyson , first tenor and a lead vocalist for the Temptations, has been a member of the group for 39 years, beginning in February 1983. Born in Philadelphia, PA and raised in Monroe, NC, Ron was a big Temptations’ fan growing up and idolized Eddie Kendricks and his style. He feels blessed to be a member of the group and has often referred to his Temptations’ career as one of the greatest things to happen to him. Ron’s first appearance as a member of The Temptations was on the “Motown 25, Today, Yesterday, Forever” network television special in 1983.

Terry Weeks , a lead vocalist for the Temptations, has been with the group for 25 years, since 1997. Terry grew up in Bessemer, AL near Birmingham listening to gospel, blue grass, and country music. Weeks spent eight years in the Air Force, from 1982 to 1990, serving in Korea and in the U.S. at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, KS and Gunter Air Force Station in Montgomery, AL. He would often sing locally around the Montgomery base, and performed in Tops in Blue, an Air Force ensemble, made up of active-duty members, that toured globally performing for airmen and their families.

Dr. Otis Williams said, “With the launch of our new album and our 60th anniversary celebration continuing throughout the year, I am thrilled to have such talented vocalists as Tony Grant, and now Jawan Jackson, join our lineup. Just as The Temptations’ music has been passed between generations, it’s exciting for me, Ron and Terry to share the stage with new generations of vocalists. We have an exciting concert tour planned for the summer and fall, and we look forward to seeing fans at our shows here and abroad.”

Jawan Jackson and Anthony Grant commented, “It’s amazing to be a part of a group with such a rich history and legacy, and performing alongside Motown legend, Otis Williams as well as phenomenal vocalists Ron Tyson and Terry Weeks, all of whom we respect so much, is an honor.”

The Temptations are scheduled to headline concerts around the country this summer and then abroad this fall in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. For concerts details, see the link HERE .

To promote their new 60th Anniversary album, Temptations 60 , available now via stream and as a CD edition. The Temptations will be performing the single from the new album, “Is It Gonna Be Yes or No,” written and produced by the legendary Smokey Robinson, during their concerts.

The 25 Concert Tours You Can’t Afford to Miss This Summer

From the stones to j. lo, pearl jam, journey, foo fighters and robert plant, it’s all about big shows and big stars. grab your tickets now.

Edna Gundersen,

After a massive slump during COVID , the concert industry is again sh-boom, sh-booming! The gross for the top 100 North American tours in 2023 reached $6.63 billion, up 39.5 percent over 2022, with attendance nearly doubling, to 15,008 per show, according to Pollstar.

And this year is shaping up to be another box office blowout. Despite the national outrage over price spikes for eggs, airfare and gas , music lovers seem immune to ticket shock. Ticket prices climbed 22 percent last year, to an average of $135.88, compared to $111.49 in 2022. And the trend is pointing skyward.

Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour and Beyonce’s “Renaissance World” tour ranked first and second last year, but boomer acts remain the tour circuit’s lucrative and reliable summer tentpole, delivering packed arenas and sheds year after year as fans flock to relish the oldies and rekindle the past.

Here are the acts to catch this sunny season.

​Heart (April 20–May 24, Aug. 10–Nov. 22)

Sisters Ann Wilson, 73, and Nancy Wilson, 70, haven’t released an album since 2016’s Beautiful Broken , but they have decades of hits, including “Magic Man,” “Barracuda,” “These Dreams” and “Alone,” to draw from on their “Royal Flush” tour . Cheap Trick opens.

Kenny Chesney (April 20–Aug. 23)

After hitting arenas last year, country star Chesney, 56, has booked 18 stadiums for shows with openers including the Zac Brown Band, Megan Moroney and Uncle Kracker, his duet partner on chart-topper “When the Sun Goes Down.” All but one of the shows are on Saturdays.

​Billy Joel (April 26–Nov. 9)

The Piano Man, 74, has scheduled only 13 dates , four of them at New York’s Madison Square Garden, so ticket stampedes are likely. Fans are curious to know if “Turn the Lights Back On,” Joel’s first single in 17 years, will be added to his hit-heavy repertoire.

$20 off a Walmart+ annual membership

​The Rolling Stones (April 28–July 17)

Mick Jagger , 80, Keith Richards, 80, Ron Wood, 76, and company continue their global “Hackney Diamonds” tour , named after last year’s highly praised album , the group’s first batch of originals since 2005’s  A Bigger Bang . Expect  Diamonds  cuts and lots of hits.

​Stevie Nicks (May 3–June 21)

Between Fleetwood Mac’s songbook and her own solo catalog, singer-songwriter Nicks, 75, has a huge well of material to draw from as she extends a tour that started in February.

Featuring Mudvayne and All That Remains

Tickets for the 33-city nationwide tour on-sale this friday, april 26.

Megadeth is bringing its iconic live show to North America with a 33-city, nationwide tour, Destroy All Enemies, produced by Live Nation, this fall including stops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, St. Louis and many more. Tickets for all dates will be on sale Friday at 10am local time with an exclusive presale for the Cyber Army/Megadeth Digital beginning today, Tuesday, April 23 at 12pm local time Megadeth.com .

Bringing along Mudvayne and All That Remains, the tour begins in Rogers, Arkansas on August 2 and runs throughout the month before wrapping in Nashville, Tennessee on September 28. Performing classic hits from Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction and more, the tour also brings Dave Mustaine and bandmates back to North America to perform their latest studio album The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts.

“Our ‘Crush The World’ tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us,” shared Dave Mustaine. “We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I’m excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”

The North American jaunt comes on the heels of a highly anticipated and successful stint in Latin America wrapping this month and starting back up in Europe this summer. With stops in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and México and forthcoming dates in Sweden, Italy, France, Germany and more, the band’s global appeal and lasting impact is more apparent than ever as continued calls for international touring are demanded.

Megadeth, alongside founder and frontman Dave Mustaine, are renowned for their unparalleled energy and mastery on stage. In 2023, the GRAMMY-Award winning band dominated arenas and festivals, reaffirming its status as one of heavy metal’s most formidable live acts. Dubbed “as ferocious and hard-hitting as ever” by AllMusic , Megadeth enjoyed sold-out shows and critical acclaim on the latest run of the Crush The World Tour captivating audiences and showcasing the latest and greatest hits.

Just a Few of the Biggest Concert Tours of 2024, from Olivia Rodrigo to Bad Bunny

Posted: April 28, 2024 | Last updated: April 28, 2024

Listening to your favorite musician at home is fun, but there's nothing quite like the experience of singing along with them, and tons of more fans, live. And as luck would have it, 2024 is shaping up to be a massive year for some of the world's top musical acts, so chances are your favorite performer might be stopping at a city near you soon.

Ahead, we rounded up some of the biggest concert tours of 2024, ranging from Taylor Swift's mega-popular Eras Tour to Drake and J. Cole's exciting It's All A Blur Tour - Big as the What?—set to kick off this winter. You can also expect tour dates from classic icons like Stevie Nicks, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and more.

1) Taylor Swift

Undoubtedly one of the biggest concert tours ever, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour will continue right through 2024. The international leg of the tour kicked off in Japan, where she played four shows in Tokyo. She'll also stop in Melbourne, Singapore, Paris, Madrid, London, Milan, and more before returning to the States to play in the fall.

There's nothing like seeing T. Swift IRL, but don't fret if you're unable to nab tickets—the Eras Tour movie is now available to stream from the comfort of your home.

2) Olivia Rodrigo

This is not a drill—"Drivers License" singer Olivia Rodrigo will be hitting the road on tour starting at the end of February. The Guts World Tour runs from February through mid-August and has dates in Nashville, Toronto, Chicago, and New York City, among others. Even cooler? Rodrigo will have a stacked list of special guests—like PinkPantheress, Remi Wolf, The Breeders, and Chappell Roan—with her.

3) Red Hot Chili Peppers

Did you hear the good news? The Red Hot Chili Peppers have extended their global tour through summer 2024. The buzzy stadium tour, which kicked off in June 2022, will now run until July 2024 and bring the California-based band to places like Los Angeles, Tampa, Toronto, and Salt Lake City.

4) Bad Bunny

It's fitting that "Monaco" rapper Bad Bunny titled his tour Most Wanted —it's slated to be one of the year's hottest tours. Planned to help promote his latest studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana , Most Wanted will kick off in Salt Lake City on February 21 and run through May 26.

5) Billy Joel

If you haven't yet seen Billy Joel perform live, there's still time! The Piano Man has added more tour dates to his schedule, stopping in cities like Tampa, New York, Denver, and St. Louis this year. Even more exciting? He'll share the stage with fellow iconic performers Sting and Stevie Nicks for some of these dates.

Mitski recently announced that she's expanding her North American tour dates , and we couldn't be more excited. The months-long tour, which supports her 2023 studio album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, has a long list of stops, including Miami Beach, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Paris.

There's nothing quite like a Madonna concert, that's for sure. The singer's Celebration Tour , which started last October, continues straight through the spring with dates in Seattle, San Francisco, Mexico City, and more. Besides her eye-catching sets, chart-topping songs, and impressive choreography, concertgoers also get a glimpse of the performer's fantastic costumes, which include looks from Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier.

8) Bleachers

The New Jersey-founded rock band, which is fronted by Jack Antonoff—known for producing albums for top acts like Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Lana Del Rey—not only has announced a new album but a new tour , too. The tour will start in the UK in March, ending fittingly in the band's home state of New Jersey in mid-June. Check out their newly released music video for "Tiny Moves" if you need a Bleachers fix in the meantime.

9) Nicki Minaj

Nicki fans rejoice: the rapper and singer might be coming to a city near you soon as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The massive tour will include performances in Brooklyn, Oakland, and Baltimore, with stops at Dreamville Festival and Rolling Loud California along the way.

10) Blink 182

Live out all of your nineties and early aughts pop-punk dreams with one of Blink 182's One More Time Tour dates. The tour, which supports the band's ninth studio album, One More Time..., will bring the trio to cities all over the globe, including Sydney, Santiago, Portland, and Boston. The tour's supporting act is Pierce the Veil, which is also worth checking out.

11) Stevie Nicks

The oh-so-magical Stevie Nicks continues her touring streak with a bunch of 2024 concert dates . Set to begin in Atlantic City, NJ on February 10, Nicks will visit a dozen cities throughout the U.S. this year, such as New Orleans, Omaha, and Chicago. "Let's keep this party going in 2024," the singer-songwriter posted on her Instagram in September to announce the newly added tour dates.

12) The 1975

The 1975 is showing no signs of slowing down. The British band, famous for hits like "Somebody Else" and "Robbers," has extended their 2023 tour through 2024. Titled Still...At Their Very Best , the 22-date tour will open in Glasgow on February 8 and conclude in Amsterdam on March 24.

13) Drake and J. Cole

Rap greats Drake and J. Cole come together for the It's All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? which is guaranteed to be a good time. Drake, fresh off his 2023 It's All a Blur tour with 21 Savage, is set to hit dozens of cities starting in February, many of which J. Cole will also be in tow for. Scoop up tickets ASAP, as Drake's shows are known to sell out.

14) Janet Jackson

Superstar Janet Jackson is also extending her 2023 tour, Together Again , into 2024 with dates in Anaheim, Austin, New Orleans, and Hartford. Even cooler? Jackson's supporting act is the 2000s southern rap legend Nelly.

15) Rolling Stones

If you've ever dreamed of seeing the Rolling Stones perform live in person, now's your chance. The iconic rockers, who released their studio album Hackney Diamonds this past fall, are returning on the road for a 16-date tour with shows throughout the United States and Canada. Concertgoers can expect a mix of new tunes and Stones classics.

16) Bruce Springsteen

Famous for countless listenable hits like "Born to Run" and "Glory Days," Bruce Springsteen is set to embark on a massive world tour this year with his band, The E Street Band. The much-anticipated tour will take the Boss and his crew to cities such as Phoenix, San Diego, Dublin, and Madrid, from March through November.

17) John Mayer

Be sure to catch John Mayer's solo tour this year, which will bring the guitarist and crooner to cities throughout Europe. This leg, an extension of his popular 2023 solo tour, will kick off in Stockholm on March 13 and finish in Dublin on March 29.

18) Shania Twain

Okay, this one is technically a residency , but we're excited nonetheless. Shania Twain, most known for her incredible outfits (her hooded leopard print look, anyone?) and hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" is setting up shop in Vegas starting May 10. Twain's residency will take place at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood on and off throughout December 2024.

All good things must come to an end. The Eagles, known for "Hotel California" and other amazing rock songs, began their final concert tour this winter. It launched in Phoenix on January 20, with March 16 as its last date in the United States. Eagles fans won't want to miss this one.

20) Alanis Morisette: The Triple Moon Tour

Alanis Morisette joins forces with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts for their 2024 Triple Moon Tour , which has dates in North America and Canada. This tour is a great one to catch this summer, as it's slated to run from June through August.

KITTIE Announces July/August 2024 North American Headlining Tour Dates

KITTIE comments: "We are absolutely thrilled to be headlining a handful of exclusive shows this summer in support of our forthcoming album. Expect a celebration of new and old material alike, spanning our 25-year career thus far. We are looking forward to playing some set list staples and bringing back some songs that we haven't played live in decades! Although limited, look for more shows to be announced at a later date. We've missed you and we can't wait to see you again!"

Each show will feature a different supporting lineup (full details below),ensuring a unique experience for KITTIE fans in each city. Pre-sale tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. local on Thursday, April 25 (for access codes be sure to follow KITTIE on socials) with general on-sale beginning at 10 a.m. local on Friday, April 26 from Kittie.net.

Earlier this month, KITTIE released "We Are Shadows" , a powerful follow-up to the band's explosive comeback single "Eyes Wide Open" , which was made available in February via new label home Sumerian Records . The new track continues the group's triumphant return offering a further look into their musical evolution after a 13-year hiatus.

"We Are Shadows" speaks to the fading certainty in a world shrouded by looming challenges and increasing division. It is both a reflection and a reckoning — a compelling narrative crafted with the band's signature intensity and a profound lyrical depth.

KITTIE guitarist/vocalist Morgan Lander said: " 'We Are Shadows' is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control. We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse overtaking the sun, we are losing the light. The image of shadows slowly fading in the evening darkness, and the analogy of 'us' as shadows in the night really illustrates the possibility of slowly fading into oblivion. It is not a song of hope however, it's a song of coming to terms with the damage we do and acceptance of our fate. We've let darkness take hold, and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it."

"We Are Shadows" and "Eyes Wide Open" will both appear on KITTIE 's first album in 13 years, titled "Fire" and due later in 2024 via Sumerian Records .

Morgan told Metal Hammer magazine about the musical direction of KITTIE 's upcoming LP: "There's a lot of variety. I think the kind of variety that you will expect from KITTIE . If you listen to the production of 'Eyes Wide Open' , that kind of visceral, raw, but very modern sound is prevalent throughout all of the songs. The songwriting is definitely next level."

Last November, it was revealed that KITTIE was working on a new studio LP with producer Nick Raskulinecz at Nashville's Sienna Studios .

Raskulinecz , who moved to Nashville from Los Angeles around 16 years ago, had previously worked with such acts as RUSH , ALICE IN CHAINS , KORN , RISE AGAINST , HALESTORM , EVANESCENCE , SKID ROW and the DEFTONES .

Regarding the overwhelmingly positive response to KITTIE 's live shows and music since the band's return in 2022, Lander told Metal Hammer : "I just think that the world is ready for us now. A lot of the things that we were doing 25 years ago were still... I don't want to say controversial, but they seemed so new. It definitely has a lot to do with a shift in thinking and acceptance and representation in the years since the very first time that KITTIE came out. Sometimes it just takes the world a bit of time to catch up and appreciate those things."

Last month, Morgan told The MetalSucks Podcast about KITTIE 's plans for the rest of 2024: "To be honest with you, this all just feels brand new again. I know that we're veterans of the music industry and whatnot, but we've sort of stepped into a new age and a new era of music releasing and record labels and things like that. So I think the goal is just to just enjoy — for us, for sure — enjoy the process and just — I don't know — put some smiles on people's faces, really. All of the things that come along with releasing new music and an album, like new merch and shows, headlining stuff, album-release stuff, all of that is definitely coming down the pike. But I think ultimately the goal for us is just to sort of enjoy the ride. All of those tangible things will come. It all feels so new and exciting again. So, yeah, we're just here to enjoy the ride."

Asked how she views all the platforms, with social media and music streaming services, now compared to how it was when KITTIE last released new music nearly a decade and a half ago, Morgan said: "Well, I feel like in 2011 [when 'I've Failed You' came out] and 2009 [when 'In The Black' was released], those last two albums, I actually really don't know that Spotify and music and streaming platforms were catching on. And so it was this weird sort of interim period where they may have existed but nobody cared and people were definitely still buying tangible CDs. And, yeah, so now we're in this new era of streaming, and I really feel like music is more accessible than ever and I think more people are listening than ever before, because things are just so easy to find; everything that you need is on a streaming platform. And so I definitely think that it does have its benefits. I mean, as far as being an artist and on the serving-the-artist side of things, it doesn't pay great, but I feel like the audience is greater than ever before. Way back, when we were active, I guess you could say the first time, the industry was definitely a different beast. And this time around, I feel like a lot of people, since we put out our last albums, have discovered the band, a lot of young people as well. And so because streaming [is so widely available], they've had this ability to discover and listen to our old catalog and continue to keep those songs popular and alive. And ultimately, it's that sort of simmering growth that's allowed us to have this opportunity that we have today. So, I don't think that it's a bad thing. I'm excited for the weirdness of the future."

Speaking about the inspiration behind the new single, Morgan said in a statement: "Our first new material in 13 years, 'Eyes Wide Open' is a vision quest for truth. It is a torch lit in the darkness of ignorance to reveal one's true motives. 'Eyes Wide Open' is a lesson in trust, betrayal, and ultimately the ability to see behind the curtain to reveal all. It was one of the first songs we wrote, coming together again after a long time away from creating, and I think you can really hear the fires reigniting in this track."

In a recent interview with Knotfest 's "She's With The Band" podcast, KITTIE drummer Mercedes Lander and Morgan spoke about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the long-awaited follow-up to the Canadian metallers' 2011 album "I've Failed You" . Mercedes said about the musical direction of the new KITTIE material: "I'm gonna say that we are just really stoked to write 1,200 percent bangers. I think that's just where we're at now. We want people to feel good. We want people to feel what we're feeling. I feel like bangers, that's what we're good at."

Asked by host Tori Kravitz about the possibility of KITTIE combining some of the old-school sound from the band's early days and mixing it up with a fresh approach, Morgan said: "I think marrying some of the ideas, 'cause I don't think we're ever going to put our JNCOs [jeans] on again. But, yeah, the idea of marrying some of those ideas — like who we are now with the ideas of who maybe we used to be and kind of being able to meet somewhere in the middle, but in a way that will just create something brand new again. I'm excited for it to be unleashed upon the world."

At some of its recent shows, KITTIE has been performing a brand new song called "Vultures" .

KITTIE played its first concert in five years in September 2022 at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival at the Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia.

Joining Morgan and Mercedes in KITTIE 's current lineup guitarist Tara McLeod and bassist Ivana "Ivy" Vujic .

Prior to Blue Ridge , KITTIE had not performed since its reunion show at London Music Hall in the band's native London, Ontario in 2017, celebrating the group's documentary "Kittie: Origins/Evolutions" .

Vujic joined KITTIE in 2008 and appeared on the band's fifth studio CD, 2009's "In The Black" . She also wrote and recorded bass for KITTIE 's sixth album, 2011's "I've Failed You" .

In January 2022, the original lineup of KITTIE — Morgan , Mercedes , Fallon Bowman (guitar) and Tanya Candler (bass) — reunited for an online chat to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of its gold-certified 2000 debut album, "Spit" .

Candler left KITTIE after the release of "Spit" in order to finish high school and was replaced by Talena Atfield .

Bowman exited KITTIE in 2001 and started her own industrial/electronic project, AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT .

After KITTIE completed the touring cycle for "I've Failed You" album, the band entered a long period of inactivity during which Morgan focused on a marketing job for a chain of fitness clubs while Mercedes worked in real estate and more recently at a software company. The group also began work on a career-spanning documentary, "Origins/Evolutions" , which finally saw the light of day in 2018 via Lightyear Entertainment in North America.

"I've Failed You" sold 3,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 178 on The Billboard 200 chart.

KITTIE will play multiple North American festivals this year, including Sick New World , Welcome To Rockville , Sonic Temple and Havoc Fest .

Top concerts playing Phoenix in May 2024: Justin Timberlake, Luke Combs, Rolling Stones

We’ve got two huge tours playing State Farm Stadium in Glendale this month — the Rolling Stones on their first tour since losing drummer Charlie Watts in support of their first album of original material in nearly 20 years, and country singer Luke Combs, who required two nights at the stadium to meet demand for tickets to his latest tour.

There are also some massive arena tours headed our way, from Pepe Aguilar to Colombian musical sensation Feid to Romeo Santos reuniting Aventura and Justin Timberlake for the first time in five years.

And we’re not out of festival season yet, despite those rising temperatures.

The Flaming Lips will headline Pure Imagination on a bill that also features Tanya Tucker (two names rarely featured in a single sentence) while Boots in the Park returns to Tempe with Kane Brown as the main attraction.

Here’s a look at the biggest concerts coming to metro Phoenix in May 2024.

Sometimes known as the Latin Madonna, this Mexican-American singer found success on the Latin pop scene of the '80s, topping Billboard's Latin Songs chart with a 1990 cover of the Barbara George hit "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)," titled "Ya No." 

Details:  8:30 p.m. Friday, May 3. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $59-$159. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com .

The Psychedelic Furs

Led by the distinctive rasp of Richard Butler, the Furs are best remembered for such '80s New Wave classics as "Love My Way," "Pretty in Pink" and "Heartbreak Beat." And they're still adding to that legacy. Their latest album, 2020's "Made of Rain," became their second-highest-charting UK album ever and appeared in year-end lists at Mojo, Uncut, Classic Pop and more. They're joined by roots-punk legends John Doe & Exene Cervenka of X.

Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $35-$85. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com .

Erick Aragón, the musician known as Codiciado, is bringing his highly anticipated Ando Enfocado Tour to Phoenix. Formerly the driving force behind the hugely successful Grupo Codiciado, Aragón has taken the solo spotlight by storm, breaking stereotypes through his lyrics, fashion, attitude and live performances. His blend of traditional and contemporary regional Mexican sounds, combined with powerful vocals and stage presence, has garnered him a loyal following and critical acclaim.

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, May 5. Arizona Financial Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $53 and up. 800-745-3000,  ticketmaster.com.

Cypress Hill

These hip-hop sensations were at the forefront of the West Coast rap scene in the early ‘90s, sending both sides of their debut single — “How I Could Just Kill a Man” and “The Phuncky Feel One” — to the top of Billboard’s rap charts. Their biggest hit is the classic “Insane in the Brain” from their second album. As a nod to Cypress Hill's long-standing pro-marijuana advocacy and activism, $1 of each ticket sold throughout the 13-date We Legalized It Tour will be donated to the non-profit, The Last Prisoner Project.

Details: 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 5. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $77.96 and up. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com .

Details: 3 p.m. Sunday, May 5. Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave. Donations accepted. 480-782-2680,  chandlercenter.org .

The Rolling Stones

This is the Rolling Stones' third time at State Farm Stadium, their first since losing Charlie Watts, the jazz-loving, sharp-dressing drummer who died in 2021. Wondering whether this could be the last time is perhaps a bit more grounded in reality in 2024 than it was in 1989 when Mick Jagger was moved to respond to the question at a press conference announcing their tour in support of "Steel Wheels" with “First asked in 1966!” But don't mistake this for a pilgrimage. The Stones' last Valley show in 2019 was a wonderfully unpolished thrill, put across with the signature cocktail of swagger and reckless abandon they've been chasing all along. Plus, they're touring on their first new album of original material in nearly 20 years and it's as good as anything they've done since "Tattoo You" in 1981.

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 7. State Farm Stadium, 1 Cardinals Way, Glendale. $63 and up. 800-745-3000,  seatgeek.com .

They were the toast of the post-punk revival, topping Pitchfork's year-end album list in 2002 with their first album, "Turn on the Bright Lights," and following through with the just-as-likely-to-be-showered-in-comparisons-to-Joy-Division mainstream breakthrough, "Antics," in 2004. When their latest album hit the streets in 2022, Spin magazine responded with "'The Other Side of Make-Believe' maintains the charm and intrigue that made Interpol indie darlings 20 years ago, but it also finds the band aging gracefully — these brooding New York boys are now men who embrace their emotions." And don't miss the opening set by local shoegaze revivalists Glixen.

Details: 6:25 p.m. Wednesday, May 8. Mesa Amphitheatre, 263 N. Center St. $55; $50 in advance. 480-644-2560,  mesaamp.com . 

Benny the Butcher

This Buffalo rapper is part of the hip-hop collective Griselda, founded by his cousins Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine and also featuring the great Mach-Hommy. He's joined on the Everybody Can't Go Tour by Boldy James. The tour takes its name from a brilliant new album HipHopDX hailed as "the latest addition to the empirical evidence piling up in favor of Benny The Butcher’s craftiness with words."

Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 8. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $46.60 and up. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com .

Celebrating Charlie Watts

Members of the Rolling Stones' touring band — including longtime keyboard player Chuck Leavell, bassist Daryll Jones, saxophonist Tim Ries and backup singer Bernard Fowler — will celebrate the life and legacy of Charlie Watts a day after the Rolling Stones play State Farm Stadium. They're joined by local jazz greatest Lewis Nash and Stan Sorenson. The show will feature jazz and world music arrangements of Rolling Stones classics. Ries, who leads the band with Fowler, has been playing with the Stones since 1999 and has release two albums of reinvented Stones songs, "The Rolling Stones Project" and "Stones World." Fowler has been touring with the Stones for more than three decades.

Romeo Santos, the "King of Bachata," has reunited his group Aventura for a U.S. tour titled Cerrando Ciclos. This tour is said to be the last time Santos and Aventura will join forces on stage, offering an opportunity to relive the hits that defined an era in Latin music. Aventura took bachata to new heights while blending modern rhythms with the authentic essence of the genre. In a message to fans on social media, Santos said, "I want you to join me on a journey where I will be definitively closing cycles. Because it is not the same to remember beautiful times as it is to be a prisoner of the past. We cannot stagnate in the nostalgia of yesterday, but rather move forward, discover new horizons and show other facets.”

Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, May 9. Desert Diamond Arena, 9400 W. Maryland Ave., Glendale. $59 and up. 623-772-3800,  desertdiamondarena.com .

I caught this '80s icon revisiting "Kings of the Wild Frontier" in its entirety in Tucson in 2017 and it was everything a fan could hope to witness. As I wrote at the time: "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.” He's joined on the Antmusic 2024 Tour by fellow veterans of the New Wave years the English Beat.

Phoenix Boys Choir

Phoenix Boys Choir's concert season concludes with Skyward, an energetic and exhilarating program of popular, contemporary and familiar music in collaboration with Simply Three, the Mesa-based trio of Glen McDaniel, Nick Villalobos and Zack Clark known for their high-octane performances and viral music videos. The concert also features the world premiere of Raphael Fusco's "It's a Long Way," the first-place entry in the 2023 New Works Rising Choral Composition Competition.

Robin Wilson and Stephen Ashbrook

The Crescent Ballroom website has been billing this show as "iconic Phoenix alt-rock." And other than the fact that we'd have gone with Tempe, that seems right. Wilson is, of course, the singer for the legendary Gin Blossoms, who went from one of Mill Avenue's hottest reasons to get drunk to modern-rock radio hitmakers thanks to the quadruple-platinum success of 1992's "New Miserable Experience." Now based in Portland, Oregon, Ashbrook was another major player on the Tempe music scene that flourished in the '90s, fronting Satellite.

Details: 8 p.m. Friday, May 10. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $25-$35. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com .

The Grammy-winning rapper is headed to Phoenix as part of a 30-city American Dream Tour with special guests J.I.D, Nardo Wick and 21 Lil Harold, in support of the chart-topping album for which the tour was named. This is 21 Savage's first metro Phoenix concert since September when he came through town with Drake on the co-headlining It's All a Blur Tour.

Colombian musical phenomenon Feid has promised a groundbreaking musical journey to showcase his energy, dynamic stage presence and hit songs when the FerxxoCalipsis Tour arrives in Phoenix in support of last year's "Mor, No Le Temas a la Oscuridad," his first release to go Top 40 on the U.S. album charts. He may be best known in the mainstream for collaborating with Bad Bunny on the hit song "Perro Negro."

Riley Green

The country singer is touring the States in continued support of "Ain’t My Last Rodeo," a 2023 release that spawned his biggest hit to date, a re-recording of the title track to his first album, "Different 'Round Here," as a duet with Luke Combs. In a press release, Green said, “’Ain’t My Last Rodeo’ is inspired by what I know best: hard work, life outdoors and family and it’s going to be fun adding these new songs to our full set.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11. Arizona Financial Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. Verified resale prices vary. 800-745-3000,  ticketmaster.com.

Chris Isaak

The man has worn his share of hats since "Wicked Game" turned up in David Lynch's "Wild at Heart." He's been a talk-show host, a sitcom star, a SWAT commander in "The Silence of the Lambs," No. 68 on of VH1's list of sexiest artists and a singer whose music continues to embody the qualities that made his early records so evocative. "First Comes the Night," his latest non-holiday effort, finds Isaak channeling the sound and spirit of the Sun recording artists he saluted on "Beyond the Sun," especially Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley, while sounding more timeless than retro.

This is part of Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' new outdoor concert series, where artists perform as night falls on the West Bowl and audiences relax in the grass. It's been a minute since Gabriel Sullivan and Brian Lopez of Tucson's XIXA member Brian Lopez began incorporating chicha, an intoxicating Peruvian blend of cumbias and psychedelic rock, into a sound they labeled mystic desert rock. On "Genesis," their latest full-length effort, those elements are filtered through their love of old Spaghetti Western scores, Tejano and a brooding vocal presence, courtesy of Sullivan, that often ventures into territory best described as gothic. They're joined by Phoenix-based Latin folk fusion band Medio Pinto.

Waxahatchee

The Telegraph hailed Katie Crutchfield's latest Waxahatchee album, "Tigers Blood," as "another beautiful slice of country-tinged magic that never descends into nostalgia." This is true. It's also true that "Tiger's Blood" finds the American stalwart, as NME wrote, "at the top of her game." And the top of Crutchfield's game is pretty daunting stuff. The Skinny praised her previous release, "Saint Cloud," as "the high watermark of modern Americana, gorgeous in its arrangements and sumptuous in its emotional literacy."

When he’s not playing bass in Ty Segall’s band Fuzz, Chad Ubovich is carrying the torch for psychedelic music at the helm of Meatbodies, whose latest album, “Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom,” eases the listener into the acid with the trance-inducing stoner rock of “The Assignment,” one of four tracks on this headphone record for the ages that passes the six-minute threshold without wearing out its welcome. As Dusted magazine sums it up, “It is a sprawling, roaring, wild beast of an album.” And there’s no reason to believe it won’t be even better live, especially in a room the size of Rebel Lounge.

Marcus King

The young blues guitarist is touring the States in support of “Mood Swings,” a new album produced by Rick Rubin. Drawing on King’s darkest moments, the album became a beacon of hope for King, who once believed he was destined to die at his own hand, as he created it. A review in Variety suggested that "the album can overall best be described as: What if Al Green also played a mean axe and made a record about dealing with anxiety and depression?” Rolling Stone was equally impressed, saying, "The lyrical conventions of a hand-me-down genre are enlivened with genuinely personal urgency."

Wednesday's "Rat Saw God" was arguably last year's finest hour by an artist you could reasonably label "rock," an unvarnished treasure that effortlessly blurs the lines between Americana, indie-rock and shoegaze in a feedback-laden squall of sound, at times descending into pure cacophony as it does on "Bull Believer," where Karly Hartzman's tortured howls are underscored by utter chaos. As Sputnikmusic raved: "Without polish or overproduction, Wednesday sound is a powerful exclamation of a narrative, full of noise, beauty, and deeply relatable feelings and stories. It may not feel perfect, but it’s real." I would, however, argue that it couldn't hope to feel more perfect than it does.

Jacob Collier

The tour is in support of the British singer-songwriter's long-awaited “Djesse Vol. 4." Five years have passed since Collier embarked on the musical journey of “Djesse," a four-part series that’s already won five Grammys. Collier announced “Djesse Vol. 4” the day after he headlined the Hollywood Bowl and shared a new single called “Little Blue” featuring Brandi Carlile.

These Toronto-based dream-pop sensations, led by Molly Rankin, earned a Best Alternative Music Performance Grammy nomination for "Belinda Says," a highlight of their latest album, "Blue Rev." No Ripcord heard the album as a huge step forward, writing, "It’s not simply an incremental improvement. It’s a quantum leap. As far as third albums go, it’s their 'Forever Changes,' 'Summerteeth,' and 'The Meadowlands' rolled into one ... It truly is one for the ages."

Pure Imagination Festival in Prescott

The Flaming Lips will headline Pure Imagination on a tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” album when the festival returns to Watson Lake in historic Prescott, Arizona. It’s an impressively eclectic lineup, from the willfully eccentric, psychedelic splendor of the  Flaming Lips  to country music legend Tanya Tucker, indie dance-pop duo Sylvan Esso and alternative hip-hop pioneers the Pharcyde. Other performers include Danielle Ponder, The National Parks, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers, Brian Chartrand, Ponderosa Grove, the Irie, Galactagogues and BG NFTY.

After years of writing together, the cousins released two live albums, "Disco en Vivo," and "Disco en Vivo, Vol. 2," in 2020. Tito Double P has written many of his cousin's hits, including “El Belicón,” “AMG,” “El Gavilán,” “Sembrando,” “El Hechizo,” “Las Morras,” “PRC,” “Chanel” and “Siempre Pendientes.”

Gabo Fayuca and his bandmates filter their reggae through Latin alternative, ska-punk and a hint of prog-rock. And on last year's four-song "Where the Colors Grow," they managed to sharpen their pop sensibilities, updating their sound while also playing to their strengths, especially on that title track. They're joined by Pijama Piyama, whose sound is on the psychedelic side of Latin jazz, and El Dusty.

The L.A.-based indie-rock veterans brought home raves in 2022 for "Radiate Like This," their first release in nearly six years, arriving 12 years after their acclaimed debut. Mojo hailed it as their finest work to date while Record Collector called it "an unmitigated joy" in the course of a review that raved "The four women click and connect in a way so rare that theoretically you could put the four greatest musicians in the world in a room and this level of rhythmic transcendence just wouldn’t happen." That's high praise.

"Diamond Destroyer of Death," these local rockers' latest effort, is a modern masterpiece of psychedelic chamber pop that feels a bit like an album-length suite. There's a dynamic range that guarantees the moments meant to be majestic are, in fact, a thing of wonder, from the time they hit you with the cinematic splendor of the chorus that appears as if by magic on an opener called "Copperfield," when Owen Evans tells you "I can make the world disappear." And it kind of does disappear for the length of the album that transports you to a world of Evans' making.

Cloud Nothings

Cloud Nothings really came into their own on 2012's "Attack on Memory," an explosive assault on the senses produced by Steve Albini, a man whose reputation rests on capturing that sort of racket. Twelve years later, they're touring the States in support of "Final Summer," an album whose electrifying sound is topped by Dylan Baldi’s impassioned delivery of songs that filter heartache through a ray of hope to cathartic effect. As he puts it on the title track, “I need to be happy with what I've got for me." And as No Ripcord rightly notes,  the album “comes rich with gargantuan hooks that make you feel alive.”

Tolkien's Middle-earth, are back in the States at the helm of the Metal Crushes All Tour, their biggest North American tour to date, with special guests Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, and Frozen Soul. Their breakthrough album, "Twilight of the Thunder God," was No. 6 on Metal Hammer's countdown of 2008's best albums.

Maggie Rogers

Rogers is headed our way in support of "Don’t Forget Me" on a tour that features special guests the Japanese House, the critically acclaimed project of Amber Bain. She headlined M3F Fest in 2023, telling the crowd, "This is my first time ever headlining a festival in the United States.” It was a shocking revelation, given the total command of the stage the former Best New Artist Grammy nominee displayed in that performance. It seems she’s something of a natural, contagious, energetic presence with the kind of voice that’s bound to stop a person in their tracks with its passion and power.

The Color 8

The Color 8 have been mashing up genres, from metal to R&B, jazz, reggae, hip-hop and punk, since 2015. On “Tryna Get Paid,” their latest effort, highlights range from the punkish intensity of an EP-opening collaboration with the Dropout Kings to the soulful chorus hook of the majestic title track and the EP-closing hip-hop slow jam comparing your love to narcotics. A local four-piece consisting of saxophonist Ashton Vaughn Charles, drummer Wisco3, aptly named guitarist Kal the Guitar Hero and bassist Jerm, they’ve amassed more than 160,000 followers on social media and thousands of monthly listeners on streaming platforms.

Blackberry Smoke

These Southern-rock standard bearers are touring the States in support of "Be Right Here," a great new album Uncut called "a minor classic of the genre." Classic Rock magazine praised the songwriting, starting its review with "Can it really be 20 years since Blackberry Smoke rolled up to the back porch looking like they’d just fallen off the back of a pick-up truck and were willing to work for food? As the adage goes, they’ve come a long way since then, although geographically they’re still based pretty close to the homes they grew up in."

Madison Beer

This singer's career got a bit of a boost when Justin Bieber tweeted a link to the cover of Etta James' "At Last" she'd shared on YouTube, causing Beer to trend on Twitter. A decade later, she's touring the States in support of last year's "Silence Between Songs," a sophomore effort that was nominated in the first-year Grammy category, Best Immersive Audio Album. Beer has said the album was inspired by the Beach Boys, Lana Del Rey and Tame Impala. Beats Per Minutes said, "The main strengths of this album lie in Beer’s powerful voice and transparent lyrics."

Music of Jerry Riopelle

Jerry Riopelle was living in Los Angeles when his career took off in Arizona — a breakthrough largely fueled by heavy spins on freeform FM station KDKB (93.3). His shows became a New Year's Eve tradition in the Valley, where Riopelle enjoyed the life of an adopted local hero. The singer died of complications from cancer on Christmas Eve 2018. Members of his band (David Plenn, John Harris, Llory McDonald, Paul Riopelle, David Goodstein and Tara Austin) will reassemble with special guest singers to celebrate the local legend and the 50th anniversary of "Saving Grace," an album that dominated the Phoenix airwaves in the '70s.
