Phish Announces Summer & Fall 2021 Tourdates

phish tour summer 2023

At long last, through this unusual and ever-changing landscape, we are excited to announce a combined Summer + Fall 2021 tour. Thanks for your patience!

The tour will begin in Arkansas on July 28. Many of the 2021 dates that were rescheduled from 2020 will play on their currently scheduled dates.

A limited number of Travel Packages have been released for George, Lake Tahoe, and Commerce City show dates. In Atlantic City, Foundation Tickets as well as Travel Packages are now available here .

The West Coast shows that were originally in July have now been rescheduled for before Labor Day or late October.

Phish is playing just 9 venues on its summer tour. One is Alpine Valley Music Theatre.

phish tour summer 2023

Yet another major event is coming to the Milwaukee area the weekend of July 26.

Phish announced its summer 2024 tour Tuesday, a tour that takes the jam-band juggernaut to just nine venues for multi-night residencies from July through September.

Alpine Valley Music Theatre is one of their stops, with Trey Anastasio and company playing the East Troy amphitheater July 26 to 28.

That'll be a busy weekend in the Milwaukee area. The Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival is returning for a second consecutive year, with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jelly Roll and Hardy headlining concerts in Veterans Park. Santana and Counting Crows are also co-headlining an American Family Insurance Amphitheater concert July 26, and the city will be hosting German Fest, Riverwest 24 and the Milwaukee Air & Water Show. ( Brady Street Fest, usually aimed for that weekend, moved up a week to avoid a conflict with the Harley bash.)

Tickets for Phish's Alpine shows, including a three-day pass, go on sale at 10 a.m. March 15 at livenation.com , with prices to be announced. Fans can submit requests to purchase tickets online in advance through tickets.phish.com .

Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

After a quiet 2023 with two concerts — but one of which, with Post Malone, set a record attendance for the pop star — Alpine Valley is getting ready for a busy summer. It has nine shows on the books altogether, including a two-night run with Dave Matthews Band plus concerts with Noah Kahan, Jason Aldean, Hootie and the Blowfish, and the Avett Brothers.

Phish Releases Another Track From New Album, “Oblivion”

phish tour summer 2023

Phish has officially unleashed “Oblivion,” the second song released from their forthcoming new album  Evolve.  The band’s first album in over four years,  Evolve,  is set to arrive via JEMP Records/ATO on Friday, July 12. But now two tracks from it have been unveiled before its official release next month. First, the album’s title track “Evolve” premiered last month . And now “Oblivion” has been made available to the public – with both studio cuts able to be heard below.

oblivion phish

Evolve , Phish’s 16th studio album, is produced by Vance Powell and Bryce Goggin. It was recorded in the fall of 2023 at the band’s now famous Vermont recording studio, The Barn. True to Phish’s unique creative process, the album’s 12 tracks were selected from arrangements shaped by the band’s dynamic live performances. Some, like the fan-favorite “ A Wave Of Hope,” have become springboards for Phish’s most soaring improvisation.

Phish seems to be giving “Oblivion” the same treatment. The song first debuted last summer and has already been played ten times, with a few serious jams attached to the back end. This includes a standout performance in Syracuse just a few weeks after its debut. And a huge arena rock version as only Madison Square Garden can supply.

This new album seems to have a fitting title as Phish’s distinct musical language is on vivid display; still pushing boundaries, still very much continuing to evolve. The cover of Evolve and gatefold feature paintings by Mehdi Ghadyanloo. The track “The Well” is only available on the vinyl version of the album.

Phish Dry Goods has  three different exclusive pressings of Evolve available for pre-order , including a “Crimson Robed Edition” (neon-pink/maroon colored wax), “Pillow Jets Edition” (transparent/blue colored wax), and an “Eco-Onyx Gates” 180g Audiophile Edition pressed on recycled eco-black wax. T-shirts, CDs, and hats are also available.

Evolve Tracklist

1. Hey Stranger 4:47 2. Oblivion 6:03 3. Evolve 4:12 4. A Wave Of Hope 5:04 5. Pillow Jets 5:57 6. Lonely Trip 6:00 7. Life Saving Gun 4:25 8. Monsters 5:15 9. Ether Edge 4:06 10. Human Nature 2:54 11. Valdese 3:36 12. The Well 4:30* 13. Mercy 4:11

*track available only on the vinyl version

Pre-orders for  Evolve  are available now in all formats – including digital, CD, and double LP vinyl – via the  Phish Dry Goods  store:  https://dry.gd/evolve .

39 Albums We Can’t Wait to Hear This Summer

From johnny cash rarities to normani (finally)..

phish tour summer 2023

Many of the artists on this summer’s release calendar seem to be driven by a simple goal — to put their most authentic selves on record. Sure, fans have heard “it’s my most personal album yet” a billion times, but this season’s slate goes beyond that and into “this is who I am right  now — take it or leave it.” BTS leader RM and Glass Animals write about staying present after feeling unmoored; Polo G and Nick Cave confront pain and mortality with clarity; DIIV and Ani DiFranco rage with anger at the societal systems that harm us; and upstarts like Ice Spice and Remi Wolf indulge in stylistic leaps that they’d previously considered too bold. Simply put, few of them, if any, have time for bullshit this summer, and perhaps we should all follow suit. If that’s the warm-weather vibe you’re after between now and Labor Day, then there’s an album (or five) coming for you this summer.

DIIV,  Frog in Boiling Water  (May 24)

If you’re feeling a crushing sense of pessimism about the fate of humanity, or you just enjoy brooding yet gorgeous shoegaze, DIIV’s fourth effort is perfect for doomscrollers and fuzz fiends alike. Led by singer-guitarist Zachary Cole Smith, the Brooklyn quartet delivers a lush meditation on how to keep going as the world ends in slow motion. It’s not barbecue music, but hey, the horrors of life don’t take the summer off either.

La Luz, News of the Universe (May 24)

On her 2023 solo album, Manzanita , La Luz mastermind Shana Cleveland focused on the swell of emotions that came with the birth of her son, Ozzy. News of the Universe , the psych-surf quartet’s first album on esteemed label Sub Pop, is understandably heavier and more expansive, given that it’s inspired by Cleveland’s breast-cancer diagnosis and invasive (and successful) treatment. Lyrically and sonically, it’s La Luz’s most ambitious effort to date without losing the band’s trademark fuzz and grit.

RM, Right Place, Wrong Person (May 24)

BTS leader RM is quite the multitasker. He began the year by completing basic training for his mandatory service in the South Korean army, and now he’s starting off summer with the sequel to 2022’s Indigo . Promising to be a less poppy project than what he and his bandmates have put out since enlisting , RM’s sophomore release is led by the six-minute “Come Back to Me,” a rich, acoustic-driven slow jam that highlights his quietly commanding tenor crooning. Sadly, he won’t be able to bring it out on the road until he’s released from service in June 2025.

Arooj Aftab, Night Reign (May 31)

If you’ve slept on Arooj Aftab’s blend of jazz and folk filtered through her Pakistani heritage, this is the season to wake up. After taking home a Best Global Music Performance Grammy for “Mohabbat,” a song off 2021’s Vulture Prince , and getting nominated again for last year’s collaborative Love in Exile , Aftab is back with her fourth LP — and a Tessa Thompson–directed video for the lead single, “Raat Ki Rani.” You’ll want to get into Night Reign before it lands on multiple “Best of 2024” lists.

Bat for Lashes, The Dream of Delphi (May 31)

After weaving a tale of teen vampires in ’80s L.A. on the 2019 album Lost Girls , Bat for Lashes’ Natasha Khan has found a new topic: motherhood. Named for her daughter, The Dream of Delphi is a synth-folk journey about the whole experience, told through Khan’s alter ego, the Motherwitch. Curious what that means? Khan has said that the title track is about being “stretched physically, mentally, even vaginally!”

Maya Hawke, Chaos Angel (May 31)

On her third album, Maya Hawke addresses those nepo-baby barbs head-on. “I was born with my foot in the door / And my mind in the gutter and my guts on the floor,” she sings on the breezy indie-pop-ish single “Missing Out,” a rumination on the normie experiences she never had. More broadly, the alt-folky LP explores deeper themes about how we find beauty through turmoil, taking on anxiety and toxic relationships in ways that show the Stranger Things star is wise well beyond her 25 years.

Willie Nelson, The Border (May 31)

Following his Rock Hall induction, a star-studded 90th-birthday concert bash, and a cameo on Cowboy Carter , one might expect Willie Nelson to bring tons of high-profile guests to his 75th studio album. But the beloved outlaw is keeping things simple with this collection of country originals and remakes highlighted by the title track, a cover of Rodney Crowell’s 2019 mournful tale of a border agent. It’s Nelson and his trusty guitar, Trigger — what more do you need?

Charli XCX, Brat (June 7)

After the ’80s pop stylings and tongue-in-cheek star posturing of 2022’s Crash , Charli XCX is taking things in a more direct and brazen direction with Brat . As evidenced by the single “Von Dutch,” there will be sounds evoking the London club parties she used to frequent (or the poppers-reeking one she DJ’d earlier this year ), while the abrasively gorgeous SOPHIE tribute , “So I,” shows how raw the record will get.

Bon Jovi, Forever (June 7)

It’s a big year for Jon Bon Jovi. Not only is his namesake band celebrating its 40th anniversary with a four-part Hulu documentary, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story , but the group is also releasing its 16th LP, Forever , his first since undergoing major vocal-cord surgery. Based on the upbeat lead single, “Legendary,” we’ll expect a theme of perseverance and gratitude from the veteran Jersey boys.

LL Cool J, The F.O.R.C.E. (June 7)

Last year, LL celebrated 50 years of hip-hop and released a snippet of a forceful new Q-Tip-produced single, “The F.O.R.C.E.,” which oddly never made it to streaming services. Whatever happened there, we now know he’ll be back with an album of the same name that’s executive-produced by Tip with features from Eminem, Nas, Saweetie, Fat Joe, and Rick Ross. His 14th LP is his first since 2013’s Authentic and arrives an astounding 39 years after his debut, Radio.

Pedro the Lion, Santa Cruz (June 7)

After reforming Pedro the Lion in 2017, mastermind David Bazan plotted a five-album autobiography that centers on specific places and periods of his life. Santa Cruz is the third record in the cycle following 2019’s Phoenix and 2022’s Havasu and covers Bazan’s teen years into adulthood. The lead single, “Modesto,” tells the story of how he gave up selling vacuum cleaners and moved to Seattle to pursue music, a decision we’d classify as “a very good call.”

Tems, Born in the Wild (June 7)

Since her breakout guest spot on Wizkid’s 2020 top-ten-charting global smash “Essence,” Tems has released an EP, won a Grammy for the Future and Drake collab “Wait for U,” and co-wrote Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up,” which earned her an Oscar nom. But the Lagos-born singer-songwriter took her time perfecting her first full-length, finally debuting its languid lead single, “Love Me JeJe,” at Coachella in April. Following the release of Born in the Wild , she’ll head out on her first-ever world tour and, more than likely, rack up even more award nods.

The Decemberists, As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again (June 14)

For their ninth LP and first since 2018’s I’ll Be Your Girl , the Decemberists are going big. As It Ever Was … is a 13-track double album split into “four thematic sides,” per a press release, and the group already previewed the scale by releasing both the James Mercer–assisted opening track, “Burial Ground,” and the proggy, 19-minute closer “Joan in the Garden.”

Normani, Dopamine (June 14)

Announced in 2018 and teased mercilessly over the years , Normani’s debut album finally has a title and release date. Before Dopamine arrives mid-June, the former Fifth Harmonizer blessed us with the carnal single “1:59,” featuring a guest verse from Gunna. Per her label, the record will take us along “Normani’s journey of embracing her divine femininity.” Finally, we can move on and start wondering when she’ll bring us album No. 2.

Meghan Trainor, Timeless (June 14)

It’s been ten whole years since Trainor introduced herself with “All About That Bass.” And though she’s never replicated the success of that diamond-selling single, the pop star has been plugging away, returning this year with her sixth album in a decade. While she initially considered doing a country record, the 30-year-old’s Timeless will be more of her traditional brand of pop, as heard on the Broadway-leaning T-Pain collab “Been Like This.” She’ll also hit the road this fall for her first tour in seven years.

Linda Thompson, Proxy Music (June 21)

A chronic vocal-cord condition may have robbed Thompson of her ability to sing, but she most certainly can still write. Undaunted by her malady, the 76-year-old kept writing songs and tapped a bunch of friends and family — including Martha and Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and John Grant — to record them, with ex-husband Richard providing guitar on several tracks. And if the album cover looks oddly familiar, that’s Thompson putting a cheeky spin on the photo from Roxy Music’s self-titled 1972 debut.

Kehlani, Crash (June 21)

Though they’re outspoken on plenty of the issues bedeviling the globe, Kehlani wants their fourth album to give people a break from all that. They recently told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that Crash was recorded between surfing seshes and is intended to exude only “joy.” That escapist vibe can be heard on lead single “After Hours,” a sultry dance ode to finding that special someone as the club starts to close.

Johnny Cash, Songwriter (June 28)

You’d think the Johnny Cash vaults would be empty by now, but nope. Cash’s son John Carter recently dug up a 1993 session where the Man in Black demoed a handful of originals, singing and playing guitar with Waylon Jennings supplying backing vocals. The tapes were buried when Cash signed with Rick Rubin, and now an all-star cast, including Dan Auerbach and Vince Gill, help bring the 11 tracks, including the timeless “Well Alright,” back to life.

Camila Cabello, C, XOXO (June 28)

Despite chronicling all the moods and vibes Cabello says her fourth album is giving, we didn’t expect the former Fifth Harmony member to go veering into hyperpop. (Her going platinum blonde was also a surprise but not that big of a stylistic jolt.) The pivot first appeared on the Playboi Carti–assisted lead single “I Luv It,” which is backed by a berserk video featuring Camilla drinking gasoline and getting chased by dogs. We’ll see how well she pulls off this new career era when all of C, XOXO arrives in June.

Imagine Dragons, Loom (June 28)

Imagine Dragons were pretty quiet in 2023 (with one notable exception when they played for WGA picketers ). Turns out they were recharging their creative batteries and working on album No. 6. Loom is preceded by the dubstep-y single “Eyes Closed,” which would’ve been a perfect end-credits theme for a Fast & Furious movie, and a revamped, wub-wubbier version featuring the reggaeton stylings of J Balvin.

Hiatus Kaiyote, Love Heart Cheat Code (June 28)

Melbourne’s Hiatus Kaiyote dazzled us in 2021 with their soulfully funky third album, Mood Valiant . For their fourth LP, the group, led by singer/guitarist Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield, teamed with Brazilian producer Mario Caldato Jr., best known for his work with the Beastie Boys. Lead singles “Make Friends” and “Everything’s Beautiful” are jazzy blasts of positivity guaranteed to help you get through the season’s cloudiest days.

Ani DiFranco, Unprecedented Sh!t (July 12)

Reproductive rights, the pandemic, our inhumane justice system: You’ll find those topics and more on Ani DiFranco’s 23rd album, Unprecedented Sh!t . Produced by BJ Burton (Low, Bon Iver), the album’s title speaks to both the current state of affairs in the country and the singer-songwriter’s bolder musical direction, which can be heard on the twitchily fraught “Baby Roe” and darkly jazzy “The Thing at Hand.”

Phish, Evolve (July 12)

Even if you’ve never attended a Phish concert, you’ve no doubt heard about them; the band’s reputation as a live act is its calling card. Less discussed is the group’s studio work, which is plenty impressive in its own right: Months after Phish’s four-night triumph at the Sphere in Vegas, the quartet is releasing Evolve, its 16th proper full-length album. The exuberant title track is great for a sunny afternoon stroll — and a sample of what’s to come during the band’s summer tour.

Cigarettes After Sex, X’s (July 12)

Summer is not typically associated with seasonal affective disorder, but hey, the doldrums can arrive at any time; might as well have a playlist ready for the moment. Cigarettes After Sex’s third album, X’s , could fit the bill: Front man Greg Gonzalez has cited ’70s and ’80s slow-dance music, Sade, and his own post-relationship blues as the driving forces behind this project, with lead single “Tejano Blue” doing a bit of “Selena meets the Cocteau Twins.” If you like what you hear, the trio will be headlining arenas worldwide through autumn.

Remi Wolf, Big Ideas (July 12)

“I just want to live on the edge of genre, on the edge of profanity, on the edge of everything,” Remi Wolf told DIY Mag about her forthcoming second LP, Big Ideas . The follow-up to 2021’s fantastic Juno comes on the heels of opening slots for Paramore and Olivia Rodrigo and the release of the insanely catchy synth-pop single “Cinderella.” With a sound and persona reminiscent of the more carefree, “Let ’Em Say” –era Lizzo, we can easily see Big Ideas propelling her into the same levels of stardom (hopefully sans the lawsuits ).

Glass Animals, I Love You So Fucking Much (July 19)

An album that answers the question, “What would it be like if my longtime band suddenly became famous during the COVID-19 lockdown?,” Glass Animals’ new record brings us into the conflicted mind of singer Dave Bayley, who went into an existential tailspin after the English dance-pop act had a breakout 2020 hit with “Heat Waves.” Rest assured that Bayley’s in a better place now, which is apparent on the glittery sing-along lead single, “Creatures in Heaven.”

Polo G, Hood Poet (August 2)

Hood Poet is Polo G’s first release since 2021’s double-platinum Hall of Fame and its chart-topping single, “Rapstar.” The project follows the Chicago MC’s recent break from the spotlight, along with recent arrests on weapons, robbery, and kidnapping charges. Between the incendiary two-minute single “Cloudy Sky” and the title itself (an acronym for “he overcame obstacles during pain or emotional trauma”), Hood Poet promises to be one of the most searingly candid albums of the year.

Fontaines D.C., Romance (August 23)

Blending the pub rock of the Libertines with the gloomy intensity of Interpol, the London-via-Dublin post-punk quartet Fontaines D.C. released their well-received third album Skinty Fia in 2022; front man Grian Chatten followed that a year later with a more austere solo debut, Chaos for the Fly . Now the group returns with a record influenced by Outkast, Slowdive, the Prodigy, and Shygirl, among others, led by the rugged single “Starburster.”

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Wild God (August 30)

It’s remarkable that Nick Cave was able to put out any music after his teenage son Arthur’s 2015 death , let alone make some of the best albums of his career in Skeleton Tree (2016) and Ghosteen (2019). Cave’s latest, Wild God , comes after another tragedy, the 2022 loss of his oldest son, Jethro. But as he wrote on his blog — and as the title track evinces — the record has a “joyful” spirit in spite of the darkness. As Cave expressed, “There’s no fucking around with this record. When it hits, it hits. It lifts you. It moves you.”

Megan Thee Stallion

Following the brutal Tory Lanez saga and a drawn-out contractual battle with her former label, Megan Thee Stallion is finally free to confront all the pain and frustration of the past few years on the self-funded follow-up to 2022’s Traumazine . The three singles so far from the still-untitled LP all share snake imagery and Megan’s trademark ferocity, with the diss-heavy “Hiss” being credited for kick-starting the feud between Kendrick Lamar and the Lanez-supporting Drake.

Maybe another season won’t pass without the follow-up to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy ? According to a Rolling Stone cover story , Cardi was still recording her second album around the same time she dropped the tenacious “Enough (Miami)” in March. She’s since said she won’t release anything this year, only for her reps to say they definitely plan on putting it out.

Eminem, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)

Back in March, Dr. Dre revealed that his protégé’s 12th LP was on the way this year, telling Jimmy Kimmel , “He has an album coming out. I’ve got songs on it. It’s fire.” Little else was known about the follow-up to 2020’s Music to Be Murdered By until NFL Draft night, when Eminem revealed that his new record will see him killing off his beloved (we guess?) alter ego, Slim Shady. Funeral arrangements, and a release date, are still pending.

Ice Spice, Y2K

Following a 2023 full of collaborations, including the Nicki Minaj duet “Barbie Girl,” we’re finally getting a better picture of what Ice Spice’s debut album , Y2K , will sound like. The Bronx rapper recently said the record, which was finished in March, has a loose concept about the turn of the millennium, a fitting theme given she was born on January 1, 2000. She and producer RiotUSA are bringing the sounds of that era back too, as heard on the Sean Paul–sampling “Gimme a Light.”

It’s beyond understandable that Liam Payne is taking his time releasing the sequel to his 2019 debut solo album, LP1 . Last summer, the 30-year-old former One Direction member revealed that he was working on the record after going to rehab for alcoholism , and earlier this year, Payne teased the project while saying he scrapped much of what he’d written in favor of more honest songs. For a taste of Payne’s authentically vulnerable side, check out the March-released single “Teardrops,” which was co-written by ’N Sync’s JC Chasez.

The Maybe Maybes

It’s been three years since Solar Power , so we’re due, right? Last December, after performing new songs “Silver Moon” and “Invisible Ink,” Lorde took to social media to say the completion of her fourth album was “not CLOSE close.” Her latest release is a cover of Talking Heads’ “Take Me to the River,” which she says helped her creative process. “Stepping away from my own project for a couple ended up giving me a HUGE piece of the puzzle,” the New Zealand wunderkind wrote in an Instagram Story.

Snoop Dogg, Missionary

In an era when stars rarely seem to announce a new release without a massive publicity push, we have to credit hip-hop’s most esteemed medical professional, Dr. Dre, for giving it to us straight. For the second time on this list, we’re talking about an LP he announced during his March appearance on Kimmel — a reunion with Snoop Dogg to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Snoop’s debut, Doggystyle . What we know at the moment is that 50 Cent and Erick Sermon are featured on the record and that the title is reflective of Snoop’s maturity: As Dre said, “The first album was called Doggystyle , so we decided to flip it and call this one Missionary .”

It’s hard to suss out where SZA’s third album stands. Following the February release of the wistful “Saturn,” she announced she was scrapping all of what she’d tracked for the full-length following leaks of several songs, then said she’d put those tunes on the deluxe edition of the Grammy-winning SOS . “ Lana deserves more time and music no one’s ever heard before,” she posted on X in March , so a summer release might be a stretch. Still, we can hope.

A$AP Rocky, Don’t Be Dumb

It looks like Rocky’s first album since 2018’s Testing could hit any time now, given that Don’t Be Dumb merch just became available to buy. He started writing the album in 2020 during a cross-country pandemic road trip with his maybe-wife Rihanna, and while we’re not sure if she’ll make a cameo, Rocky has revealed that Tyler, the Creator, Madlib, Alchemist, Metro Boomin, and many others contributed.

Tokischa is slated to play at the Warfield in San Francisco on June 9.

The Dominican rapper and singer, whose full name is Tokischa Altagracia Peralta Juárez, is bringing her Nací Perra Tour to the Warfield on June 9. No stranger to the Bay Area, Juárez performed at last summer’s Portola Music Festival held at Pier 80. Her racy lyrics and reggaeton and trap beats have earned her collaborations with artists such as Rosalía, Madonna and J Balvin since she first broke into the music scene in 2018. 

Juárez was recently featured on the song “Jalo!,” which was made for Zack Snyder’s sci-fi film “ Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver ,” alongside Puerto Rican producer Tainy. The two also starred in an accompanying futuristic music video, leather-clad and on the run.

Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend is slated to play Berkeley’s Greek Theatre on July 15-16.

Following the April release of its fifth studio album “Only God Was Above Us,” the New York rock band is back on the road with plans to bring the record’s accompanying tour to Berkeley for two nights in June. The group’s new 10-track record was co-produced by Grammy-winner and longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid and lead singer Ezra Koenig, and takes on a gritty yet melodic energy. 

The band’s new release was celebrated on April 8 with a midday, live streamed concert in Austin, Texas, coinciding with the solar eclipse, which saw the outdoor crowd taking a moment to don their eclipse glasses and gaze up at the sky. The band has also performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the first time since 2013. Mike Gordon, founding member of rock band Phish, is set to support its upcoming Berkeley stop. 

6:30 p.m. June 15; 2 p.m. June 16. Tickets start at $69. Greek Theatre, 2001 Gayley Rd., Berkeley. 510-871-9225. ticketmaster.com  

PartyNextDoor

PartyNextDoor is set to bring his “Sorry I’m Outside Tour” to Fox Theater in Oakland on July 1.

The Drake-backed singer-songwriter and producer is ready to take back the spotlight. After a four-year hiatus, he released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, “PartyNextDoor 4,” in April and recently announced his upcoming Sorry I’m Outside Tour. 

The trek is scheduled to stop at Fox Theater in Oakland on July 1, giving Northern California fans who missed him at Sacramento’s now-canceled Sol Blume festival another chance.

8 p.m. July 1. Tickets start at $94. Fox Theater, 1807 Telegraph Ave., Oakland. 510-302-2250. ticketmaster.com

Tate McRae 

Tate McRae is set to perform at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on July 9. 

A product of her passions for dance and singing, the Canadian pop star is bringing her “Think Later” world tour, in support of her sophomore album of the same name, to the Bay Area for one night only in July. 

Initially rising to fame by posting her heart-wrenching music to TikTok, the singer-songwriter was a finalist in the Canadian version of “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2016. She continues to incorporate intricate choreography into her live performances in an effort to maintain the passion. “Think Later,” was released in 2023 and takes a more playful pop turn, with songs such as “Greedy” and “Exes” taking the internet by storm. 

8 p.m. July 9. Tickets start at $49.50. Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, 99 Grove St., S.F. ticketmaster.com

Missy Elliott

Despite rising to fame in the 1990s, Elliott has experienced somewhat of a career resurgence, becoming the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019 and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2021. Keeping up with the times, the multiplatinum-selling rapper has been featured on songs with Ariana Grande, Lizzo and Fall Out Boy in recent years.

The Marías 

The Marías are slated to open their “Submarine” tour at Fox Theater in Oakland on July 16-17.

Following the release of its sophomore album “Submarine,” the Los Angeles indie-pop group is gearing up to open its upcoming North American tour at Fox Theater in Oakland on July 16-17. Composed of lead singer Maria Zardoya, drummer and producer Josh Conway, guitarist Jesse Perlman and keyboardist Edward James, the band has garnered the attention of Bad Bunny , earning a featured spot on the Puerto Rican star’s 2022 album, “Un Verano Sin Ti.” 

Switching from its signature red aesthetic to an icy blue, the new record reflects a level of emotional honesty as a result of a shift in Zardoya and Conway’s relationship. The two had been dating for years and decided to part ways before beginning to write the album.  

“We went through so much change right before the writing process of submarine,” the group said on Instagram. “Blue represents not only grief and loneliness, but also hope, rebirth and exploration.”  

8 p.m. July 16-17. Tickets start at $80. Fox Theater, 1807 Telegraph Ave., Oakland. 510-302-2250. ticketmaster.com

The Rolling Stones 

The Rolling Stones are scheduled to perform at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on July 17.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band is closing its North American stadium tour in the Bay Area. Its latest album, “ Hackney Diamonds ,” marks its first collection of original music since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang.” The record, produced by Andrew Watt, who has collaborated with artists like Post Malone, Elton John and Justin Bieber, is also the first recording following the death of drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. 

Surviving members of the Stones  — Mick Jagger , Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood — are scheduled to perform at Levi’s Stadium on July 17, adding to its extensive list of performances in the region since first coming to the Bay Area in  1965 .

7:30 P.M. July 17. Tickets start at $91. Levi’s Stadium, 4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara. 415-464-9377. ticketmaster.com

Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo is set to bring her “Guts” tour to Chase Center in San Francisco on Aug. 2-3.

The Disney Channel star turned singer-songwriter is heading back to the Bay Area for a two-night stint at Chase Center that even had the Golden State Warriors’ TikTok account buzzing . Rodrigo’s scheduled San Francisco stop Aug. 2-3 will mark her first Bay Area performances since 2022 when she closed out her “Sour” tour at the  Bill Graham Civic Auditorium . This time Rodrigo is touring in support of her sophomore album “Guts.”  

So far on the “Guts” tour, Rodrigo has invited a handful of surprise guests to join her onstage, including “Stick Season” singer Noah Kahan and singer-songwriter Jewel in New York and country singer Sheryl Crow in Nashville. Last month, she was a surprise guest for Gwen Stefani-fronted rock band No Doubt during the first weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Southern California. 

7:30 p.m. Aug. 2-3. Tickets start at $20. Chase Center, 1 Warriors Way, S.F. 888-479-4667. ticketmaster.com

Sammy Hagar

Alongside former Chickenfoot bandmates Michael Anthony and Joe Satriani, in addition to drummer Jason Bonham, Hagar is set to perform at Toyota Pavilion at Concord on Aug. 17. 

He replaced former Van Halen singer David Lee Roth in 1985 and invited him to join the “Best of All Worlds Tour” despite their long-standing rivalry. Hagar and Roth performed together in 2004 during Van Halen’s “Best of Both Worlds Tour,” which Hagar’s upcoming tour honors. 

7 p.m. Aug. 17. Tickets start at $54.35. VIP packages begin at $407. Toyota Pavilion at Concord, 2000 Kirker Pass Rd., Concord. 925-676-8742. livenation.com

Journey and Def Leppard 

Journey and British rock band Def Leppard co-headlining a tour stop at Oracle Park Aug. 28.

Despite longtime, well-publicized legal and personal conflicts between key group members, Journey continues to tour and will return home to San Francisco’s Oracle Park on Aug. 28, co-headlining its summer concert with British rock group Def Leppard. The “Don’t Stop Believin’” band’s recent tours have been underscored by an ongoing feud between guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain, as well as the dismissal of bassist Ross Valory and drummer Steve Smith. 

Journey’s current touring members include Schon, Cain, keyboardist Jason Derlatka, singer Arnel Pineda, drummer Deen Castronovo and bassist Todd Jenson. The San Francisco-formed Steve Miller band is slated to open the Oracle Park show. 

6 p.m. Aug. 28. Tickets start at $69. VIP packages start at $299. Oracle Park, 24 Willie Mays Plaza, S.F. 415-972-2000. ticketmaster.com 

Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra 

Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra is set to bring its farewell tour to Chase Center in San Francisco on Sept. 1.

The band’s “Over and Out Tour” is set to make stops at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sept. 1 and Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on Oct. 23. Originally formed in 1970 and disbanded in 1986, the Electric Light Orchestra was revived by Lynne in 2018. Lynne’s former bandmates continued to tour under the name Electric Light Orchestra Part II. 

“It was a gradual thing,” Lynne said of ELO’s comeback during an interview with the Chronicle in 2018. “I had been working with all these other people, my heroes as I like to call them, and I hadn’t been doing any of my own work, I realized, for 15 years or something. I wanted another go at it. So I re-formed ELO for that purpose.”

8 p.m. Sept. 1. Tickets start at $54. Chase Center, 1 Warriors Way, S.F. 888-479-4667. ticketmaster.com

20 must-see concerts happening at Boston’s top venues in summer 2024

T he 2024 summer concerts season features rock and blues and jazz and pop and Americana and hip-hop, and it’s happening in clubs and concert halls and arenas and sheds. We’ve put our heads together to come up with selections that just might be the best of the batch at some of Greater Boston’s top venues this June-August.

(Sites include TD Garden, Roadrunner, MGM Music Hall at Fenway, House of Blues, Leader Bank Pavilion, Wang Theatre, The Wilbur, Symphony Hall, Xfinity Center, Passim, Scullers Jazz Club, and City Winery. Also check out our separate Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park concert guides; our smaller venue preview will post next week. All prices listed are face value; for some shows only verified resale tickets may be available.)

Best rock & blues concerts:

Gary clark jr. at mgm music hall.

The Texas guitarist-vocalist has been practicing his craft since he was 12, initially making waves as a young bluesman, but eventually incorporating music from a number of other genres, including funk and straight-up rock. Some landmark moments in his career have included him acting and playing in the John Sayles film “Honeydripper,” winning a Best Traditional R&B Performance Grammy for “Please Come Home,” and first entering the charts with his cover of the Beatles’ “Come Together.” His most recent album, “JPEG RAW,” features tunes from a couple of his heroes, Stevie Wonder and George Clinton and, while remaining a guitar-based blues-rock offering, also brings in tastes of jazz and hip-hop. Friday, June 7, 8 p.m., MGM Music Hall, 2 Lansdowne St., Boston, $66-$180.

Bonnie Raitt at MGM Music Hall

She’s got a powerful, raspy singing voice; she plays a mean guitar; she’s a soulful blues woman who’s not shy about mixing in tastes of rock and R&B; her first album came out slightly more than 50 years ago; she scored a Top 10 hit with “Something to Talk About”; and she’s won 13 Grammy Awards, the most recent three (Song of the Year, Best American Roots Song, and Best Americana Performance) for 2022’s “Just Like That.” She’s Bonnie Raitt, and she’s still at the top of her game. Opening act is James Hunter. Saturday, June 15, 8 p.m., MGM Music Hall, 2 Lansdowne St., Boston. $177-$825.

Dave Matthews Band at Xfinity Center

They have been the jam band of note for three decades, creating a sound that encompasses bar rock and plenty of jazzy grooves. From the 1994 debut album “Under the Table and Dreaming” right up through last year’s “Walk Around the Moon,” vocalist-guitarist-songwriter Matthews – originally from South Africa, but living in the Charlottesville, Virginia, since the mid-’80s – has led an ever-changing line-up of band members but has remained the darling of a ravenous fan base. The group is constantly on the road, concert halls are always filled, and album releases are no strangers to the number one spot. Also of note: The band has so much material to choose from, it’s pretty much guaranteed that no two sets are ever the same. Friday, July 12, 7:30 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $67-$381.

Santana and Counting Crows at Xfinity Center

Guitarist extraordinaire Carlos Santana had a pretty good summer in 1969, when he and his namesake band dazzled the crowd at Woodstock with a mix of psychedelia and Latin-based rock, and shortly afterward, released their first Columbia album. Radio hits followed – from “Evil Ways” to “Black Magic Woman.” But that was only the beginning of Santana’s musical journey, which shifted into jazz with the album “Caravanserai” and pop with “Zebop!” and blues/rock with “Blues for Salvador.” A decade after that one, his album “Supernatural” won eight Grammy Awards. In the middle of it all, and continuing to this day, he’s released albums and songs that have gone in spiritual directions, featured Spanish-language vocals, gone the instrumental route, and could be categorized as pop-fusion.

MORE CONCERTS:

2024 fenway park concerts: all the artists playing shows this summer, here are the concerts coming to gillette stadium this summer.

The roots-alt-rock band Counting Crows, meanwhile, began their recording career with the rather somber multi-platinum album “August and Everything After” (which featured the upbeat hit “Mr. Jones”), then morphed their way into making records that both rocked out and got mellow. Songwriter Adam Duritz even took a little composing downtime when he and the band released “Underwater Sunshine,” an album of covers by the likes of the Faces, Bob Dylan, and Fairport Convention. Tuesday, July 23, 7 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $54-$326.

Phish at Xfinity Center

Since the first incarnation of the improvisational Vermont-based Trey Anastasio-fronted Phish in the mid-1980s, they’ve been a trio, then a quartet, then a quintet, and once again a quartet. The all-encompassing term “jam band” doesn’t really do them much justice, as the music they play takes in elements of rock, folk, country, and blues, with side trips into psychedelia. Sold-out concerts led to numerous live albums, an appearance on “The Simpsons” noted their mark on pop culture, there was a hiatus, a breakup, a reunion, another breakup … but they’ve been together again, and going strong, since 2009. Their most recent album – at least under the name Phish – was 2020’s “Sigma Oasis.” For some odd reason, their 2022 album “Get More Down,” was released under the name Sci-Fi Soldier . Friday, July 19, 7 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $67-$290.

Thirty Seconds to Mars at Xfinity Center

Jared Leto, the vocalist-songwriter in Thirty Seconds to Mars, had a music career in mind when he moved to LA in 1992. But acting got in the way, resulting in such gigs as a role on “My So-Called Life,” supporting parts in “Fight Club” and “Dallas Buyers Club” (that one earned him a Supporting Actor Oscar), and the lead in “Requiem for a Dream.” And, oh yeah, that music career happened, too. He and his drummer brother Shannon formed Thirty Seconds to Mars in 1998. Of course, he’s still acting (he was unrecognizable and amazing as Paolo in “House of Gucci”), and you could say that when he hits a concert stage, he’s playing a rock star. Truth be told, he positively is a rock star, with a commanding presence and a voice able to shift from sweet to soaring. A Thirty Seconds to Mars show could feature the band’s early anthemic rock, such as “The Kill” and “Closer to the Edge,” as well as edgier, more danceable material from their 2023 album “It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day,” such as “Stuck” and “Seasons.” Sunday, Aug. 18, 6:30 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $42-$199.

Best jazz concerts:

Trombone shorty at leader bank pavilion.

New Orleans native Troy Andrews was playing trombone by the time he was 4, and leading a brass band when he was 6. At that time, the big horn was longer than he was tall, which is how he earned the nickname Trombone Shorty. Why the name stuck is a mystery, as his height is now close to six feet. The music he grew up on was traditional New Orleans jazz fare, but progressing as a player, he started infusing it with rock, funk, and soul. Still, there’s plenty of straight-up NOLA jazz on display at his concerts. He also writes original material, he’s the author of a couple of children’s books, and he’s a philanthropist – the Trombone Shorty Foundation donates instruments to public schools. And he’s got plenty of fans, among critics and listeners. His 2010 Verve Forecast album “Backatown” rode atop the jazz charts for nine weeks, and led the way to him signing with Blue Note Records for the 2017 release “Parking Lot Symphony” and its follow-up, 2022’s “Lifted.” Friday, June 14, 8 p.m., Leader Bank Pavilion, 290 Northern Ave., Boston, $37-$193.

John Pizzarelli at Scullers

Before John Pizzarelli got his first guitar – a Christmas present when he was 15 – he was already adept at the banjo, which he started playing at 7. But, as his father was jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, and there were guitars all over the house, John was already fooling with them by the time he was 10. Now a master of 7-string jazz playing, Pizzarelli initially had dreams of being a rock star, but found he was better at writing standard jazz-type songs than pop tunes.

His concerts these days place him in a trio setting or showcase him as a solo artist, and he’s always making guest appearances. For instance, he appeared on “Runnin’ Wild,” Keith Lockhart’s first record with the Boston Pops. Besides his own “old-school” material, he’s best known for picking tunes from the Great American Songbook, but has also covered the Beatles, Billy Joel, and Steely Dan. It’s likely that his solo Scullers gig will feature pieces from his 2021 solo album “Better Days Ahead.” Friday, June 21, 7 & 9 p.m., Scullers, Double Tree Suites Hotel, 400 Soldiers Field Rd., Boston, $35-$155.

Best pop concerts :

Janet jackson at td garden.

The first time most people took notice of Janet Jackson was when, at age 7, she appeared onstage with her older brothers The Jackson 5. Four years later, she became a cast member on “Good Times.” Five years after that, she released her self-titled first album – a success on the R&B charts, but not among mainstream pop listeners. It took only four more years – that would be 1986 – when everything changed, with the release of her smash album “Control.” Records were broken with her follow-up, 1989’s “Rhythm Nation 1814,” when seven songs on it reached the Top 5 on the charts. She kept turning out top-selling albums and making guest appearances, notably with Justin Timberlake on his “Justified” album. She also appeared with Timberlake at a certain football halftime show , but that’s a story for another day. After a long series of starts and stops for a new album, her most recent, “Unbreakable,” came out in 2015. Critics loved it and it reached number 1. Friday, June 28, 8 p.m., TD Garden, 100 Legends Way, Boston, $49-$287.

Alanis Morissette at Xfinity Center

Props must be given to Alanis Morissette. Not just for her breakthrough Grammy-winning 1995 album “Jagged Little Pill” or that it was adapted into “Jagged Little Pill: The Musical” (which had its 2018 premiere at the A.R.T. in Cambridge before heading to Broadway). But for the fact that many years earlier, she wrote and recorded the song “Fate Stay with Me” when she was 10 years old. (It’s derivative of every other pop-dance song of that time, but, come on – she was 10!) Two lesser-selling albums had preceded “Pill,” but Morissette was on a firm career path by 14. And there were many more albums after “Pill.” “Under Rug Swept” and the less poppy “Flavors of Entanglement” were hits, then she set off in a different direction, moving into what can be termed as meditative music with “Such Pretty Forks in the Road” (2020) and “The Storm Before the Calm” (2022). What sort of music she’ll be playing on the upcoming Triple Moon Tour is anybody’s guess. With Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Morgan Wade. Tuesday, July 9, 7 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $54-$356.

New Kids on the Block at Xfinity Center

It could be convincingly argued that among the various boy bands of the late-’80s and early-’90s, none was more successful than Boston’s New Kids on the Block. Discovered by empresario Maurice Starr in 1985, they were soon signed to Columbia Records, had a well-received album out in 1986, turned out pop hit after pop hit over the next couple of years, and saw their names placed on hot-selling merchandise. (Do you still sleep on your New Kids bed sheets?) When the bottom fell out of their particular market, they disbanded, shortly after renaming themselves NKOTB. That was in 1994. But they got back together in 2008, and released a new album, “The Block.” They returned to the road, made more records, had a hit single with “One More Night” and, earlier this year, Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood released the album “Still Kids.” Opening acts are Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Saturday, Aug. 10, 7 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $32-$282.

Avril Lavigne at Xfinity Center

In her early teenage years, growing up in a small Ontario town, Avril Lavigne worked at playing guitar and writing country songs. Before she hit 18, she moved to New York, then LA, had a pop hit with “Complicated,” a multi-million-selling album titled “Let Go,” and achieved major star status. Ensuing music became more and more upbeat, moving into regions of pop-punk, and her albums were regularly going platinum. Alternating between the pop of the single “Girlfriends” and the balladic “Fly,” Lavigne also showed she was pretty good at adding an edge to her music with the release of the angry and rocking (and expletive-ridden) “Bite Me” from her 2022 album “Love Sux.” Saturday, Aug. 24, 7 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Mansfield, $65-$316.

Best Americana/country/folk concerts :

Jo dee messina at house of blues.

Born in Framingham and raised in Holliston, Jo Dee Messina knew what she wanted, career-wise, pretty early on. At 12, she found herself wrapped up in listening to country music. At 14, she was sitting in as a singer with local bands. At 15, she was fronting her own band. At 19, she made the move to Nashville, the place to be if you had dream of playing music. After tackling the talent show circuit, she was signed to Curb Records, released a self-titled album, and ended up with two big hits — “Heads Carolina, Tails California” and “You’re Not in Kansas Anymore.” She obviously never forgot that early mid-’90s success, as the stop she’s making at House of Blues is part of her Heads Carolina, Tails California tour. Sunday, June 2, 8 p.m., House of Blues, 15 Lansdowne St., Boston, $33-$55.

Tony Trischka at Club Passim

He may be categorized as a bluegrass banjoist, but Tony Trischka has spent his long career moving his instrument in and out of all sorts of musical circles. Sure, his former band Skyline was bluegrass to the core – though their modern sound was often referred to as newgrass. But Trischka has gone so far as to include pieces by Bela Bartok, Fleetwood Mac, and the Beatles on his setlists. And while his 1999 album “New Deal” consisted of bluegrass standards, he managed to work a bluesy feel into them. As far as his banjo goes, he’s one of the speediest players around, but he’s always admitted that a beautiful melody is more important than how fast it can be played. Trischka’s got a new album coming out to coincide with his current tour. Titled “Earl Jam,” it’s a tribute to the late, great banjo man Earl Scruggs. Tracks include “Freight Train Blues,” “Cripple Creek,” “Bury Me Beneath the Willow” and, for you Beatles fans, “Lady Madonna.” Saturday, June 8, 8 p.m., Passim, 47 Palmer St., Cambridge, $30.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit at Roadrunner

It’s coming up on almost 20 years since singer-guitarist Jason Isbell left the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers to put his creative energies into the world of what’s become known as alt-country. Initially, he was exploring singer-songwriter territory. After assembling a new band, the 400 Unit, his writing, though still in a country vein, was perhaps a bit more commercial, more diversified. Isbell certainly knew he was heading in the right direction when his 2015 album “Something More Than Free” took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album, and he continued it in the 2017 album he made with the 400 Unit, “The Nashville Sound.” Last year he exercised a different side of his creativity by taking on the supporting role of Bill Smith in the Scorsese film “Killers of the Flower Moon.” He also released his newest album “Weathervanes.” Tuesday, June 25, 8 p.m. Roadrunner, 89 Guest St., Boston, $80-$300.

The Outlaw Music Festival at Xfinity Center

There’s no other concert presentation quite like this one. It started in 2016 when Willie Nelson, featured as the headliner, was joined, for their own sets, by Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, Lee Ann Womack, and others. Other Outlaw Music Festivals have been held over the years, with Willie always at the center of it. This year’s version also features Bob Dylan, Robert Plant & Alison Kraus, and Celisse. As in the past, everyone gets their own time on the stage and, if tradition is honored, all will get together at the end for a group performance of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” followed by “I’ll Fly Away.” Tuesday, July 2, 5 p.m., Xfinity Center, 885 S. Main St., Manfield, $67-$435.

The Jerry Douglas Band at City Winery

For those who need a definition of a dobro: It’s a wood-bodied guitar with a metal resonator attached, and it’s played spread across your lap with metal finger and thumb picks on one hand, and a small bar – or bottleneck – in the other. Jerry Douglas is a master dobro player who’s been at it since he was 12, shortly after his dad took him to see Flatt & Scruggs play, and Jerry was blown away by their dobro player Josh Graves. But Douglas hasn’t exactly stuck to the usual dobro repertoire, steeped in bluegrass tradition. At least not until his third album, “Under the Wire,” on which he explored progressive bluegrass sounds. With the release of “Plant Early” – a couple of albums later – he was showing off some jazz influences. By the time of his 2017 release “What If” – the first with the Jerry Douglas Band – some critics were calling his music a fusion of bluegrass and bop. Anyone looking for a real treat at his City Winery show might want to call out a request for his cover of the Allman Brothers’ “Little Martha.” Tuesday, Aug. 20, 7:30 p.m. City Winery, 8o Beverly St., Boston, $45-$65.

Best R&B/hip-hop concerts :

The kid laroi at mgm music hall.

Before he started calling himself The Kid Laroi, Charlton Howard grew up in a poor part of Sydney, Australia, trying to help his single mom make ends meet, listening to music by Fugees and Erykah Badu, and dreaming of establishing his own career in hip-hop. The raw talent was there, but it also helped that he kept entering performance competitions and that he managed to hang out with others who were already on their way up, most notably the young rap star Juice Wrld. By the time he was 13, Howard – who around that time made the name change – was regularly performing. At 14, he made an independently released EP. Before he reached 15, he was signed to Sony, a move that spread his sound beyond Australia. A handful of hit singles followed. One of them – “Stay” – was a duo effort with Justin Bieber. But 2023 proved to be his biggest year to date: His debut studio album “The First Time” was released, and an earlier tune, “Forever & Again,” landed a spot on the “Barbie” soundtrack. Sunday, June 16, 7:30 p.m., MGM Music Hall, 2 Lansdowne St., Boston, $56-$298.

Missy Elliott at TD Garden

Rapper-songwriter-producer Missy Elliott kicked off her career as one-quarter of the R&B girl group Sista, just about three decades ago. But it was in 1997, when she went solo, that she shifted into high gear, releasing her first album, “Supa Dupa Fly,” then seeing it go platinum within a couple of months. Not only did it establish her as a star – in both the hip-hop and R&B camps of listeners – it also set the course for an additional handful of platinum albums that she released into the mid-2000s. Elliott was also writing and/or producing songs for other artists, including Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, and 702. Some health problems sidetracked her from the studio for a few years in the 2010s, but in 2019, she returned to the scene, releasing her EP “Iconology.” Opening acts are Ciara, Busta Rhymes, and Timbaland. Saturday, Aug. 10, 7 p.m., TD Garden, 100 Legends Way, Boston, $79-$329.

Usher at TD Garden

His name is made up of four pronouns in a row – us, she, he, her – but his claim to fame is his powerful, yet silky-smooth tenor voice … and the man can dance! Before Usher began running up a string of number one songs, lining his mantelpiece with Grammy Awards, and earning diamond certification (sale of 10 million units) for his 2004 album “Confessions,” he was a singer in his church gospel choir. An appearance on “Star Search” when he was 13 led to a contract with LaFace Records. He got a gold record for his single “Think of You” before he graduated high school. Many singles, albums, and awards followed, and he eventually went beyond recording and performing music. In 2013, he became a coach on the TV show “The Voice.” In 2016, he played boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in the film “Hands of Stone.” And recent years have included a 100-show Las Vegas residency in 2022 and 2023, a halftime performance at this year’s Super Bowl and, two days earlier, the release of his newest album “Coming Home.” Tuesday & Wednesday, Aug. 27 & 28, 8 p.m., TD Garden, 100 Legends Way, Boston, $121-$533.
