Your weekend arts forecast: Labor Day and Rod Stewart
Cheap Trick, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band whose lead singer was, is and shall always be Safety Harbor resident Robin Zander, shares Saturday’s Amalie Arena bill with Rod Stewart, who’s on his first North American tour in four years.
He’s British, you see, is Sir Rod The Mod. Cheap Trick was, is and shall always be from Rockford, Illinois (and, these days anyway, Safety Harbor).
Tickets are here.
Tampa’s other massive show-rena (Mid-Florida Credit Union Amphitheater) has the pop band OneRepublic Friday. Tickets are here.
Friday brings soul singer Anthony David to the Floridian Social Club in St. Pete. Here are the details.
Reggae’s Michael Franti & Spearhead, who always seem to be on the road somewhere, rolls into Jannus Live in St. Pete; tonight’s show is listed as sold out. So is Saturday’s Jannus Live show by Parker McCollum.
It’s Labor Day Weekend, which might explain the light calendar. If you’d like to look ahead for cool stuff happening later in September, check out this Catalyst story from a few days ago.
