This Just In: New Concerts and On-sale Dates


The biggest news this week is fresh off the wire. On the heels of what must’ve been disappointing news that the Kings of Leon tour which it was supporting having been scrapped, Band of Horses, we’ve just learned, is slated to perform at the Ogden Theatre on Sunday, September 4. Tickets ($35 plus service charges) go on sale tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.

Blitzen Trapper, meanwhile, whose new album American Goldwing hits stores on September 13, will be at the Fox Theatre on Monday, November 7 with Dawes and the Belle Brigade. Tickets ($17/$20) on sale Friday, August 12 at 10 a.m.

Five Finger Death Punch headlines KBPI’s Fall Brawl at 1STBANK Center with All That Remains, Hatebreed and Revelation Theory on Saturday, October 22. General admission floor and bowl ticket ($29.75-$35) are on sale now.

As mentioned last week, rapper DMX is coming to the Gothic Theatre on Saturday, September 10. Tickets ($40/$53) are on sale now.
