Concerts

It seems like a lot of our old-world habits need some kind of update, even if it’s just for the sake of convenience.

Jane’s Addiction almost got to tour recently with its four original members, but as singer Perry Farrell told us last week, the group’s famed lead guitarist Dave Navarro is still dealing with the lingering effects of long COVID.

For the first time in over four years, Gorillaz is back on tour. And the animated, “virtual” group is bigger than ever, having easily sold out the The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory on Saturday.

So, the first question you may be asking is, why? Why is the Observer covering Elton John’s final concert at Globe Life Field, when we covered the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour’s first two shows the first time he came to town in 2018.

It’s been almost four decades since Jane’s Addiction played their first show in Dallas, at the legendary Theater Gallery in Deep Ellum.

My Chemical Romance is now known for its razzle-dazzle, but at one point, the band was the “new, young punk rock.”

It’s another week of classic acts and bucket list items this week in North Texas, and as usual, there’s a little bit of everything to suit whatever mood and whatever part of town you’re in.

We called it. Monday night wasn’t a lineup of great hip-hop artists at the NY State of Mind tour. It was a lineup of the greatest artists to ever rap.

On Friday night, Fontaines D.C. played a show at The Studio at the Factory. Originally from Dublin, the band now calls London home, and are touring behind their third album, Skinty Fia.

The notion of seeing Roxy Music live in concert seemed like a complete fantasy at the dawn of 2022, one of those “Wouldn’t it be great if (pick a name) toured again?” music-specific daydreams.

The concert week ahead in North Texas is something of a slow burn, leading up to a night of absolutely impossible decisions at the week’s end.

Red Hot Chili Peppers were firing on all cylinders at their Sunday night concert at Arlington’s Globe Life Field, the final night of their World Stadium Tour.

Time and again, Alan Jackson has demonstrated a gift for the backward glance. The pull of memory, the golden glow of better days, the first blush of love – the singer-songwriter has shown his ability to evoke nostalgia without succumbing to sentimentality as far back as “I’d Love You All Over Again,”

If you were to take a look at our headline this week, you’d think that North Texas was in some kind of time warp. Three of the most iconic bands from the ’90s alternative music scene appear in the area in the coming days.

Fans had “high hopes” as they piled into Dickie’s Arena in Fort Worth on Sunday night to see Panic! At the Disco’s Viva Las Vengeance world tour

In the nearly 20 years since they burst onto the scene with their debut album, Y2K post-punk revival staple Hot Fuss, The Killers have been strongly associated with flamboyant and gloriously messy new wave

Puerto Rican singer/rapper Bad Bunny held the audience in the palm of his hand during Friday’s show at AT&T Stadium.

What makes for a good concert week is variety, and what this week has in store for North Texas is about as varied as it gets.

Here’s a parental advisory: If you are a fan of the British rock band IDLES and did not attend Thursday night’s show at the Factory in Deep Ellum, these photos may fill you with intense feelings of regret.

With Labor Day Weekend upon us and the intense summer heat slowly drifting away, there’s no better way to kick off the new season than with a music-filled weekend.

In a few months, the U.S. men’s soccer team will face off against Wales in the FIFA World Cup finals, the biggest sporting event in the world.

If you were to ask Nile Rodgers what CHIC was, he’d say, “R&B, funk, soul, jazz, blues, disco … FUNK, SOUL, DISCO,” and that’s the heat the band brought to Fort Worth on Wednesday night.
