--------------- Calendar • On the Road --------------- Lollapalooza 2014 will feature a hundred or A Memory Down (free) June 19 Carl’s Tavern New Haven so bands on several stages throughout Chica- Aerosmith ($21.50-$246.50) July 22 Riverbend Music Center Cincinnati go’s Grant Park August 1-3, but, if that isn’t Road Notez Aerosmith ($31-$171) July 25 First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre Tinley Park, IL enough for you, there are a few big “after Afghan Whigs ($34.50) Sept. 9 House of Blues Cleveland shows” scheduled at two well known ven- CHRIS HUPE Afghan Whigs ($29-$64.50) Sept. 10 St. Andrews Hall Detroit ues as well, even though some of the shows Air Supply Sept. 6 Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, OH actually take place before the big event and technically aren’t “after shows.” Apparently Alice in Chains w/Monster Truck ($29.50-$75) Aug. 19 Murat Theatre Indianapolis Arcade Fire Aug. 26 United Center Chicago “before shows” don’t sound as attractive to potential concertgoers and concert promoters. Arctic Monkeys w/White Denim June 22 Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica Cleveland But I digress. Among the notables, Chvrches will invade the Vic Theatre July 31 while Avett Brothers w/Langhorne Slim & the Law ($35-$49.50) June 14 Lawn at White River State Park Indianapolis The Kooks will hit the stage at Park West the same night. On August 1, Cut Copy rock the Avett Brothers ($35-$50) Aug. 2 Fraze Pavilion Kettering, OH Vic while Jenny Lewis plays Park West. August 2 Cage the Elephant bring their raucous Avett Brothers ($38-$42.50) Aug. 5 Toledo Zoo Amphitheater Toledo stage show to the Vic the same time The 1975 headline Park West. To wrap things up, Avril Lavigne June 25 Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park, OH Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue play the Vic on Sunday, August 3. Backstreet Boys w/Avril Lavigne June 13 Klipsch Music Center Noblesville Backstreet Boys w/Avril Lavigne June 15 Riverbend Music Center Cincinnati Clutch continue to do what they do best, and that is play live music. With one of the best Backstreet Boys w/Avril Lavigne June 17 DTE Energy Music Theatre Clarkston, MI live shows in rock, the Fort Wayne faves will not be coming back to the Summit City this Beach Boys ($39-$99) Sept. 3 Foellinger Theatre Fort Wayne time around but will play in plenty of neighboring cities. Plan a road trip to Columbus, Beck ($26-$49.50) June 19 State Theatre Cleveland Ohio July 26, Toledo September 11, Grand Rapids, September 13 or Indianapolis Septem- Beck ($29.50) June 20 LC Pavilion Columbus, OH ber 23 if you want to check them out again. Lionize and American Sharks will open the Beck ($25-$75) June 28 Fox Theatre Detroit Beoga ($15-$25) Aug. 28 The Ark Ann Arbor shows except for the Columbus show where Clutch headline a bill that also features All Billy Joel July 18 Wrigley Field Chicago That Remains and Bobaflex. Black Flag ($20) June 17 Reggie’s Rock Club Chicago King Crimson haven’t toured in over six years, so their fans are understandably excited Black Flag ($22) June 18 The Avenue Lansing, MI Black Keys Sept. 5 Schottenstein Center Columbus, OH to see a few dates posted for the fall. The band has been re-releasing past albums as part of Black Keys Sept. 6 Quicken Loans Arena Cleveland a 40th anniversary celebration, so it is likely you’ll hear a lot of deep cuts if you choose to Black Keys Sept. 7 Van Andel Arena Grand Rapids visit the Vic Theatre September 25-26. Those shows will sell out fast, so get your tickets Black Keys ($35-$75) Sept. 12 Joe Louis Arena Detroit while you can. Black Label Society ($25) July 17 Bogart’s Cincinnati Black Label Society ($25-$45) July 18 House of Blues Cleveland The Black Keys have added a September 28 date at Chicago’s United Center to their Black Label Society ($30) July 30 Vogue Theatre Indianapolis Turn Blue World Tour. Cage the Elephant will open the show, presumably with no actual Black Stone Cherry w/We As Humans ($12 adv., $15 d.o.s.) July 24 Piere’s Entertainment Center Fort Wayne elephants taking the stage. But you never know; it’s a big venue. Blue Oyster Cult w/Voyage (free) June 13 Central Park Glover Pavilion Warsaw Blues Traveler w/Sugar Ray, Uncle Kracker, Smash Mouth ($20 adv. $25 d.o.s.) July 12 Headwaters Park Fort Wayne She’ll be at Lollapalooza in August, and now she has booked a few more dates to make it Bob Weir & Ratdog w/Dwight Yoakam, Devil Makes Three ($38-$80) Aug. 30 Ravinia Festival Highland Park, IL a fall tour. Lorde is the artist and weird is her game. She wrote a catchy song, followed Bob Weir & Ratdog w/Chris Robinson Brotherhood Sept. 9 PNC Pavilion Cincinnati it up with a somewhat less catchy song and now she is the “it” girl of the industry. If you Bob Weir & Ratdog w/Chris Robinson Brotherhood Sept. 10 Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica Cleveland like Lorde, and I can see why you would, you can catch her show at the LC Pavilion in Boston w/The Doobie Brothers ($35-$105) June 21 Montrose Beach Chicago Columbus, Ohio September 23 or at the Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland September 24. I Boston w/Cheap Trick ($21-$95.50) June 24 DTE Energy Music Theatre Clarkston, MI think I’ll skip paying to see the angst-ridden, somewhat strange teenager on stage. If I Boston Aug. 17 The Shoe Cincinnati want to see that, I’ll just go to the mall.
