Greensky Bluegrass at Knitting Factory Concert House

Greensky Bluegrass

The band that creatively blends bluegrass and country music are heading on tour across America. Greensky Bluegrass began making music in 2000 and stood out for their non-traditional take on bluegrass, where they fused rock and acoustic influences. The five-piece prepare for an outstanding countrywide tour and you won't want to miss it!

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!

Frank Turner at Knitting Factory Concert House

One of England's foremost contemporary singer-songwriters, post-hardcore punk turned folk troubadour Frank Turner is returning to the US with a series of live dates in 2024 with support from Amigo the Devil. Known for his extensive touring schedules, fans can expect a passionate and emotionally lifting live show as Frank displays his trademark wit and punk rock-flavored wisdom.

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.

Hozier at Idaho Center Amphitheater

Hozier

The man who took us to Church is extending his 2023 tour 'Unreal Unearth' into 2024! With a big, soulful voice that plunges to dark, melancholy depths and ascends into wild, fierce howls, Andrew Hozier-Byrne has proved that the hype is justified. The video for his first-ever single, "Take Me to Church," went viral in 2013, reaching over 700 million views to date.

Sum 41 at Revolution Concert House and Event Center

Sum 41

If you came of age in the early 2000s, there's a good chance that Sum 41's "Does This Look Infected?" formed part of the soundtrack to your teen angst and rebellion. In 2024, they are embarking on their last headlining worldwide tour in support of the highly anticipated final album 'Heaven x Hell'. The tour will be split into two halves of the year, with dates in the spring and fall. Don't miss your chance to catch them live, for maybe the last time, with support from ska-punk band The Interrupters!

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.

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. They dropped their first 'Greatest Hits' album in 2021, showcasing the best music from the band's 15-year back catalogue. Don't miss the chance to see them live this year.
