Dawes
Through a tapestry of warm vocals and sun-soaked guitar hooks, Dawes have made a name for themselves for replicating the feel of the Lauren Canyon sound of the 70's. But far from being a copy, the quartet are something retro inspired, but with a chilled vibe straight out of the present. Enjoy some authentically vintage beats by Dawes in 2024!
Queens of the Stone Age
Founded after the dissolution of frontman Josh Homme's first band Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age exploded out of the gates in the late 90s with the records Rated R and Songs for the Deaf. This year sees them hitting the road once again on the 'End Is Nero Tour' with their most recent album, 'In Times New Roman', where they'll be joined by The Struts as support on certain dates.
Josh Ritter
Named in 2006 as one of the 100 Greatest Living Songwriters, Josh Ritter's work is reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and has seen this exceptionally talented artist go from strength to strength since the release of his self-named first album in 1999. He has become an experienced touring artist, having performed internationally with Irish band The Frames, and scoring himself a huge word-of-mouth following in the process.
Bright Eyes
Indie-folk-rock trailblazers Bright Eyes have revealed the massive news that they are returning in 2025 with their brand new tour. The Omaha group comprised of singer-songwriter Conor Oberst, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and pianist Nate Walcott have signed to Dead Oceans (home to Khruangbin, Phoebe Bridgers and Dirty Projectors among others).
Explosions In The Sky
Explosions In The Sky are heading on tour! With a reputation for a scathingly intense live performance and a quickly sold-out CD-R demo 'How Strange, Innocence', which was later reissued in 2005, Explosions in the Sky was touted early on in their career as the next phenomenon in moody and dynamic instrumental indie rock a la Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor! Now, catch the incredible band as they continue touring their recent album 'End'.
Marc Broussard
Get ready for a little bit of bayou soul, Marc Broussard is coming to town. The sell-out artist is hitting the road in celebration of 'Carencro' anniversary! Marking two decades since the release of his breakthrough album, Broussard invites you to celebrate this huge milestone with him - catch this swamp pop legend while you can!
