National Concert Week is a fan’s passport to travel down memory lane with a host of ‘90s icons from Third Eye Blind to Smashing Pumpkins to Bush and Live, headbang with hard rock legends like KISS and Alice Cooper, float with the powerful feminine magic of Florence and the Machine or Heart, or satisfy your curiosity about today’s catchiest headliners from LANY to The 1975.

Titled “Come Through,” the unique piece brings together modern dance and an accompanying live performance by Bon Iver. So far only four shows have been announced: two in New York on December 4 and 5, and two more next year in Houston on February 20 and 21. Tickets are now available for the New York performances.

Carrie Underwood is gearing up for The Cry Pretty Tour 360, which kicks off on May 1 in Greensboro, North Carolina. To celebrate, she’s gifted us a brand-new single. The singer debuted “Southbound” at the 2019 ACM Awards just a few weeks ago and has now officially released the song. There’s a good chance she’ll perform the new track alongside all of her biggest hits as she travels around the country this summer and fall. Tickets are on sale now.
