- Panic! at the Disco serves up a musical circus
- It doesn't really matter what haters have to say about young group Panic! at the Disco; the band puts on a show that makes them seem like stage veterans and makes them worthy contenders in today's music scene.
- Dierks Bentley heats up hometown in concert
- The face of new country was on full display Thursday night in Phoenix, and things look promising.
- The show goes on for Public Enemy
- Public Enemy’s concert at the Marquee Theatre may have been canceled, but that didn’t stop the legendary hip-hop crew from bringing the noise to the Valley on Thursday night. Chuck D, Flavor Flav and Professor Griff performed a concert for about 300 fans at Atomic Comics Metro Center.
- Cold didn't stop Death Cab fans
- Holding an outdoor concert in December isn't necessarily the best idea, but the bundled up fans of Death Cab for Cutie didn't mind. The Seattle indie-rock superstars returned to the Valley for a chilly show at Mesa Amphitheatre on Saturday.
- All-American Rejects find acceptance (sort of)
- Though technically the All-American Rejects were the headliners of the Tournado concert Nov. 28 at the Dodge Theatre, the stage was shared with three other bands who got the crowd just as excited as the final act.
- Switchfoot tour a thank you to fans
- Switchfoot brought some of the old and some of the new to their show Nov. 21. Their new CD, Oh! Gravity, doesn't hit stores until Dec. 26, and they said this tour is a thank you to their loyal fans, who filled up more than half of the Marquee Theatre.
- Emotional popster surprisingly sassy
- Moms were out in full force at the James Blunt concert Nov. 17, as most of the attendees were middle-aged adults, and they filled up the entire Dodge Theatre.
- Dixie Chicks give liberated performance in Glendale
- One thing has not changed about the Dixie Chicks since a 2003 onstage remark about President Bush alienated millions of their most conservative fans: This trio still puts on a fantastic live show.
- Streisand simply sensational
- Making her first appearance in the Valley in 30 years, Barbra Streisand lived up to her legendary status. Quite simply, the woman was sensational.
- Stones inaugurate new stadium in style
- Fans at the Arizona Cardinals’ new stadium had something to cheer about for a change on Wednesday night, as the Rolling Stones inaugurated the $455 million venue with its first concert.
- Ladies love Lachey at Halloween show
- While most girls their age were trick-or-treating or going to parties or bars, a slew of diehard fans turned out to the Celebrity Theatre to spend their Halloween with Nick Lachey.
- Evanescence brought dark rock
- It was sort of hard to believe Amy Lee when she told the Celebrity Theatre audience Friday night, 'I think this is our favorite stop on the tour so far.' Judging from the hecklers who booed her, it probably wasn't the most pleasant experience.
- Alan Jackson delivers solid State Fair show
- Country superstar Alan Jackson is as dependable as the Arizona State Fair, where he performed Thursday night.
- Nintendo Fusion Tour gets smaller, but the love's still there
- It was about to turn into a cry fest at this year's Nintendo Fusion Tour, which tore up the Venue of Scottsdale on Sunday.
- Mitchell benefit a success musically, politically
- Over 500 people came to a sold-out Clubhouse Music Venue to see a night full of rock and pop and to get some voter registration information and meet Harry Mitchell, contender for Arizona Congressional District 5 in the House of Representatives.
- Sugarcult spreads the emo love
- Even though the space was only a little over half-full on Tuesday night, the Marquee Theatre contained kids who were ready to punk rock out and get their dance on.
- Tom Petty, John Mayer showcase best of classic, new rock
- The best of old-school American rock and the new wave of guitar-based ravings were on display Wednesday night at Glendale Arena as Tom Petty and John Mayer delivered strong, enjoyable sets in concert.
- Yeahs show hampered by Marquee's rules, sound problems
- The Yeah Yeah Yeah's no-wave influenced garage-punk was exciting, and singer Karen O's ebullient stage presence was fun, but that was where the enjoyment ended when the arty quartet visited the Marquee Theatre on Wednesday.
- Roger Waters’ return to the Valley
- Roger Waters’ return to the Valley on Tuesday was equal parts nostalgia and current events as the former Pink Floyd bassist/singer delivered three hours of Floyd classics (plus a couple solo tunes) to a packed house at Cricket Pavilion.
- EdgeFest 2006 brings it
- If you were looking for an excuse to get sweaty with a stranger, Saturday's EdgeFest 2006 was the place to be.
