In This Moment at Revolution Concert House and Event Center

In This Moment

With a string of hits to their name - including the rock anthem 'Whore' - In This Moment are one metal act you won't want to miss live! Combining shades of goth and metal in their bubbling musical cauldron to produce deliciously dark, riff-laden metal anthems that have their audiences blissfully moshing at every show, don't miss the goth rockers when they make their way to you.

Violent Femmes at Idaho Botanical Garden

Violent Femmes

As well known for their infamous feuding as for their ground-breaking punk rock work, Violent Femmes have no trouble showing us why they are one of the best acts in punk as they set off on tour across America this year! They became the chosen soundtrack for angsty teens everywhere thanks to irascibly intelligent anthems like 'Blister In The Sun' and 'Kiss Off'. Don't miss these absolute icons of 90s rock!

Wallows at Treefort Music Hall

Wallows

New kids on the alt-rock scene, Wallows, are back on tour across North America! This new tour will celebrate their upcoming 2024 album Model - as well as their past music. Although the trio made up of Braeden Lemasters, Cole Preston, Dylan Minnette, have been performing together since they were children, it wasn't until 2017 that they decided to become Wallows.

The Gaslight Anthem at Revolution Concert House and Event Center

The Gaslight Anthem

New Jersey rockers The Gaslight Anthem are back out on the road this summer! Emerging in 2007 with their debut Sink or Swim, it was their follow-up effort The '59 Sound that the band truly came into its own. Topping a lot of critics' 'Best of' lists for 2008, it's still regarded as their finest moment thus far, a wonderfully full-throttle take on Springsteen-Esque Heartland Rock. Indeed, the Boss himself seemed to share this opinion, as he joined the band live on stage at The Glastonbury Festival to perform the album's title track.

X The Band at Knitting Factory Concert House

X The Band

You might be forgiven for getting them confused with a certain rebranded social media platform, but a place to shout into the void they are not. Punk rockers X are on tour this summer and are ready to tear it up! Returning once more as the original lineup, expect to hear their biggest hits including Los Angeles' and Poor Girl.' Some dates are already sold out, so get your tickets while you can.

Ben Folds at Morrison Center for the Performing Arts

Ben Folds

The frontman of his self-named band, rock artist and producer Ben Folds continues to work with some of the most eclectic names in music and entertainment (remember his Common People cover that featured William Shatner and Bill Clinton?), as well as pushing the envelope on alt-rock ever further. A self-confessed enigma, he prefers to stay out of the limelight except when touring, but can easily claim credit for some of music's most unlikely trends.

Coheed and Cambria at Revolution Concert House and Event Center

Coheed and Cambria

Alternative rock wizards Coheed and Cambria are back and hitting the road this fall. With two major tours this year with Primus and with Incubus, Coheed and Cambria have announced a string of headline shows between July and September. Formed in 1995 in Nyack, New York, the quartet debuted with a bold conceptual vision that fused their pop and post-hardcore-tinged progressive rock with frontman Claudio Sanchez's...

Dirty Heads at Idaho Center Amphitheater

Dirty Heads

Blending multiple genres together under one banner, Californian reggae fusion outfit Dirty Heads are back on tour after the release of their eighth album, 2022's Midnight Control.

St. Vincent at Knitting Factory Concert House

Now's your chance to see her live as she's hitting the road in support of her upcoming studio album 'All Born Screaming'.

Three Dog Night at Idaho Botanical Garden

Three Dog Night

With a music career spanning 4 decades, Three Dog Night have certainly earned the right to be one of America's most iconic bands. With a vast back catalogue of smash hits like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)", "Joy to the World", "Black and White", "Shambala" and "One" it would be easy for Three Dog Night to rest on this legacy, however, this band is not one for taking a break and are always looking for new ways to increase their audience.

STRFKR at Knitting Factory Concert House

STRFKR

Oregon indie band STRFKR are heading out on an extensive US tour this year to support their album Parallel Realms' out March 1.
