SUMMARY:St. Paul & The Broken Bones @ Taft Theater
DESCRIPTION:ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINING TOUR \nSELF-TITLED 6TH STUDIO ALBUM OUT TODAY \nTAFT THEATRE \nMAY 5\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, October 17 at 10AM \nCincinnati\, OH (10/10/2025) – St. Paul & The Broken Bones\, who NPR Music has hailed as “one of the nation’s best live bands\,” today release their 6th studio album\, the self-titled St. Paul & The Broken Bones via their own label\, Oasis Pizza Records\, distributed by Thirty Tigers. The album\, from the ever-evolving Southern-soul giants\, signifies both a reinvention and a reunion\, stretching out with the confident experimental spirit of The Alien Coast and (2022) and Angels in Science Fiction (2023)\, but with a warmer\, accessible\, and fun sound that recalls the exuberance and buoyancy of their breakout debut\, Half the City (2014). St. Paul & The Broken Bones is available on all formats here. \nToday\, the band also announced their 28-date North American headlining tour\, which will kick off in March 2026 and find the band performing in Cincinnati at Taft Theatre on May 5\, 2026 with support from Brother Wallace. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, October 17 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nWith the new LP\, co-written and produced with the decorated Eg White (Adele\, Florence + The Machine\, Sam Smith) and tracked with the band – consisting of Janeway\, Phillips\, guitarist Browan Lollar\, drummer Kevin Leon\, keyboardist Al Gamble\, trumpeter Allen Branstetter\, saxophonist Amari Ansari\, and trombonist Chad Fisher— at the renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals\, the band decided to stop pushing so hard and simply focus on classic “song craft.” For Janeway\, these 10 thrilling tunes feel like “comfort food\,” like hanging out at a “great barbecue joint.” \nThe album follows 2023’s Angels In Science Fiction\, and with that vibrant era in the rearview\, there was an opportunity to regroup\, which resulted in a return to their roots\, if through a circuitous path. Janeway started collaborating with a series of co-writers and featured artists\, eventually finding the perfect partner in White: a prolific\, London-based pop-rock veteran who’s co-written and produced hits with stars like Adele (“Chasing Pavements”) and Celine Dion (“Water and a Flame”). Aided by that expert ear\, Janeway finished a batch of new music he was proud of—but he pivoted back to full-band mode in January ’24\, regrouping with his old friends at FAME Studios\, where they’d mixed their debut\, Half the City\, over a decade earlier. \nIt had been several years since they’d written together in this format\, and during the session Phillips asked an intriguing question: ‘Hey\, man\, can I hear some of the stuff you wrote with Eg White?” Janeway was initially reluctant to bring this music “into the band sphere\,” but his co-founder convinced him otherwise. They dusted off some of those tracks\, melding them with the new group-written material. “Basically\, our philosophy for the record was ‘best song wins\,'” the frontman says. \nThe resulting songs felt like a comforting hug\, lived in\, confident\, and fun. “Fall Moon\,” includes a rippling Hammond organ and nostalgic brass; the bluesy “I saw the light” with a chorus of the swaggering “Ooo-Wee”; the stabbing electric keys and signature falsetto sweetness on “I Think You Should Know”; the deep-pocket bass and growling hooks on “Nothing More Lonely”; the breezy slice-of-life that is “Seagulls\,” St. Paul still branches out in subtle ways stretching out the experimental muscles the band has developed over the years. \nWith St. Paul & the Broken Bones\, Janeway felt like they’d taken their sonic searching as far it could go—or at least “without doing some kind of death-metal album.” But it raised a lot of important questions: “‘What are we doing? What is the band now?’ You go through that kind of identity-crisis stuff. What is the band\, and is this still creatively satisfying?” The answer is a resounding yes. “Making this record was a long journey\, but I think it’s one of those rare times where it felt really worth it\,” Janeway says. “It feels very much like a renewed energy. And who knows? We might make our death metal record next.”St. 01

SUMMARY:Satchvai Band with Joe Satriani & Steve Vai @ PNC Pavilion @ Riverbend Music Center
DESCRIPTION:Following their highly successful debut band tour across Europe this past June and July — which saw numerous sold-out shows and glowing praise from fans and press alike — legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are bringing their electrifying SATCHVAI Band to the United States for the first time. The “Surfing with the Hydra” 2026 tour will stop in Cincinnati\, OH for a one-night-only performance at PNC Pavilion on Friday\, May 8. Animals as Leaders will join as support. \nThis new chapter follows a monumental summer that took the newly formed band through major cities including London\, Manchester\, Paris\, Copenhagen\, Zurich\, and more as well as festivals including Hellfest\, Umbria Jazz Festival\, and Guitares en Scene Fest\, thrilling audiences with the unmatched interplay and energy that only Satriani and Vai can deliver. Now\, with a brand-new video and single\, “Dancing\,” arriving March 2\, 2026 via earMUSIC\, the guitar greats are ready to bring that same firepower to stages across America. \n“The SATCH/VAI Band rides again! After a fantastic European tour last summer Steve\, Kenny\, Marco\, Pete and I will bring the Surfing With The Hydra Tour to the US. We can’t wait to play you the new material from our forthcoming Satch/Vai album along with your favorite songs from our shared catalog. And that’s not all\, we’re bringing along the incomparable Animals As Leaders. You do not want to miss this show with this lineup!” – Joe Satriani \nSteve Vai concurs\, “The Satch/Vai Band summer Euro tour of 2025 far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Joe and I struck pure jammin’ gold night after night. Being in the same band with Joe\, playing songs we actually wrote together on stage\, in real time felt like watching a childhood fantasy step out of my teenage brain and stroll onto the stage. And somehow\, it was even more rewarding\, satisfying\, and downright fulfilling than I ever thought possible. \nOur trusty band—Marco Mendoza holding down the bass with his usual thunder\, Pete Thorn weaving in the magic on guitar\, and Kenny Aronoff powering the whole thing from behind the kit\, we created a musical flying carpet that carried us through the tour. \nAnd to all the fans who came out and supported the show: massive thanks. Your energy and enthusiasm made the room pulse\, and inspired us all beyond beyond. We are looking forward to steamroll this train into your city on our 2026 spring North America tour.” \nThe band’s forthcoming single “Dancing” marks the latest chapter in SATCHVAI Band’s creative evolution. It follows the duo’s first two releases — the sweeping\, cinematic instrumental “The Sea of Emotion\, Pt. 1” and the high-octane rocker “I Wanna Play My Guitar\,” featuring powerhouse vocals from Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple\, Black Country Communion). Together\, these tracks have showcased both the emotional depth and unbridled energy that define the SATCHVAI Band sound — a seamless fusion of melody\, virtuosity\, and the kind of musical chemistry only five decades of friendship can produce. \nThe SATCHVAI Band marks the first time in their nearly 50-year friendship and musical partnership that Satriani and Vai have formally joined forces as a band. Their collaboration debuted in March 2024 with a duo tour and the release of “The Sea of Emotion\, Pt. 1\,” a stunning six-minute opus showcasing their extraordinary synergy. A second track\, released ahead of the European tour\, further fueled anticipation for what has become one of the year’s most celebrated live events. \nRounding out the lineup\, powerhouse drummer Kenny Aronoff\, renowned bassist Marco Mendoza\, and virtuoso guitarist Pete Thorn complete the stellar quintet that is the SATCHVAI Band — a live ensemble built for explosive musicianship and unbridled guitar mastery. \nAnimals As Leaders\, Tosin Abasi said of the tour\, “We are beyond honored to be joining Joe Satriani and Steve Vai on tour! Our band\, in many ways\, would not be what it was if not for the impact of these two icons. Getting a chance to hit the US with them is a bucket list experience for us. Can’t want to see you all soon!” \nFormed in 2024 after decades of friendship and musical intersections\, SATCHVAI Band brings together two of the most celebrated guitarists of all time—Joe Satriani and Steve Vai—for an unprecedented collaboration. Rounding out the powerhouse lineup are Kenny Aronoff (drums)\, Marco Mendoza (bass)\, and Pete Thorn (guitar)\, creating a stellar quintet of world-class musicians. More than just a band\, SATCHVAI Band is a supercharged fusion of guitar-driven mastery\, chemistry\, and creative fire. \nABOUT JOE SATRIANI \nFor over three decades\, the guitar virtuoso has traveled the world\, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star “G3” guitar extravaganza. Satriani’s studio and live recordings have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide to date and of his many solo albums\, two have gone platinum and four others went gold\, with 15 Grammy nominations between them. He launched his annual “G4 Experience” in 2014 bringing aspiring guitarists together for four days of workshops\, mentor sessions and live performances\, providing an exclusive learning platform led by him and his accomplished peers. In 2021\, he introduced the “Crystal Planet” comic series\, a five-part opus interweaving the realms of music and art. The tour documentary “Beyond the Supernova\,” directed by ZZ Satriani and currently available for streaming\, offers an intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse that intricately chronicles his life\, illuminating the profound dedication that fuels his guitar mastery. His side project\, Chickenfoot\, featuring former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar\, former bassist Michael Anthony and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith saw their debut album certified gold and their second studio album debuted at #9. Satriani released his 19th studio album\, The Elephants of Mars\, in April 2022. It was a busy 2024 for Joe Satriani as he embarked on the highly anticipated G3 Reunion tour alongside the original powerhouse line-up: Satriani\, Eric Johnson and Steve Vai. This was followed by the Satch/Vai duo tour\, where the longtime friends not only shared the stage but also unveiled a new musical collaboration together. Rounding out the year\, Satriani joined forces with Sammy Hagar\, Michael Anthony and Jason Bonham for the Best of All Worlds tour\, which sold out arenas nationwide and was met with widespread fan and critical acclaim. \nABOUT STEVE VAI \nSteve Vai is a virtuoso guitarist\, composer and producer\, considered by many as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. In over 45 years in the industry\, Vai has sold over 15 million records\, received three Grammy Awards\, and recorded with music legends like Frank Zappa\, David Lee Roth\, Whitesnake and many more. Vai has also toured extensively and recorded live projects with G3 (collaborating with different touring lineups including Joe Satriani\, John Petrucci\, Eric Johnson\, Yngwie Malmsteen\, and Steve Lukather) and Generation Axe\, a supergroup Vai formed with Zakk Wylde\, Yngwie Malmsteen\, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi. Vai is the author of Vaideology: Basic Music Theory for Guitar Players (Hal Leonard)\, his inaugural music theory book designed to help both beginners and veteran guitar players. In the recent past\, he has travelled the globe supporting his most recent studio album Inviolate\, staging performances in 51 counties across the globe. Over the course of his 43 years touring\, he continues to visit locations for the first time. His final excursion in 2023 saw Vai perform in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)\, Kaohsiung (Taiwan)\, Zallak (Bahrain)\, Bangalore and Kolkata (India)\, alongside six new markets in China (Foshan\, Xi’an\, Chengdu\, Chongqing\, Nanjing and Hefei). In 2024\, BEAT (Adrian Belew\, Tony Levin\, Danny Carey\, Steve Vai) staged 65 North American appearances. The ensemble will travel to South America for additional performances in 2025. \nABOUT ANIMALS AS LEADERS \nAnimals As Leaders is an American instrumental progressive metal band formed in Washington\, D.C. in 2007 by virtuoso guitarist Tosin Abasi. Joined by Javier Reyes on eight-string guitars and Matt Garstka on drums\, the band has redefined the boundaries of metal and progressive music with their innovative compositions and technical mastery. Their sound seamlessly fuses metal\, jazz fusion\, classical\, and electronic elements into a style that defies traditional genre labels. \nSince their 2009 self-titled debut—an early landmark of the “djent” movement—the band has continued to push musical limits with albums like Weightless\, The Joy of Motion\, The Madness of Many\, and Parrhesia. Known for their polyrhythmic complexity\, harmonic sophistication\, and emotionally resonant songwriting\, Animals As Leaders has earned critical acclaim and inspired a devoted global following for their groundbreaking approach to instrumental metal.

SUMMARY:Symphony of Sound @ Lexington Opera House
DESCRIPTION:The future is bright  as we celebrate 140 years of the Lexington Opera House with  Symphony of Sound on Friday\, May 15 @ 7:30pm. \nThe Lexington Philharmonic and The Lexington Singers join forces under the direction of LexPhil Music Director\, Mélisse Brunet and Dr. Jefferson Johnson\, Conductor and Artistic Director for Lexington Singers. The program opens with Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg\, a work for chorus and orchestra that contrasts darkness and light – “but as light gradually returns\, hope is restored\, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace” says Hagenberg. \nThe program continues with Kentucky-native and virtuosic violinist Tessa Lark\, who will perform Michael Torke’s SKY Concerto. Inspired by Lark’s bluegrass roots\, the concerto “sounds like it descended from the mountains” (Texas Public Radio)\, offering a sense of openness and wonder – “like looking up into the expanse of the SKY\,” as Torke describes. \nThe evening concludes with one of the most iconic works in the orchestral repertoire\, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5\, whose unmistakable opening and dramatic arc have captivated audiences for generations.

SUMMARY:Geoff Tate's Operation: Mindcrime The Final Chapter @ Taft Theatre
DESCRIPTION:GEOFF TATE’S OPERATION: MINDCRIME \nTHE FINAL CHAPTER \nTAFT THEATRE \nFRIDAY\, MAY 15\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, December 19 at 10AM \nCincinnati\, OH (12/16/2025) – Multi-platinum selling\, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate announced today additional dates for the 2026 U.S. leg of his “Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter” Tour.  Get ready for a legendary night as Operation: Mindcrime is performed from beginning to end in its entirety for the last time at Taft Theatre on Friday\, May 15\, 2026. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, December 19 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nMulti-platinum selling\, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate is best known for his 30-plus years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band Queensryche. Since its inception with Geoff at the helm\, Queensryche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and has performed in upwards of fifty countries. Geoff is regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in the genre with hundreds of modern\, popular artists citing him and his former band as a major influence. Combining social consciousness and expertly crafted lyrics with high-energy\, melodically complex music\, Queensryche with Geoff Tate at the forefront became internationally recognized as the thinking man’s rock band. The band’s first three albums — their self-titled EP (1983)\, The Warning (1984) and Rage for Order (1986) — all hit gold status selling over 500\,000 units each. \nWith the release of their landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime (1988) — which won critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall — Queensryche went on to bring their progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over. Following the album’s platinum success\, Queensryche released Empire\, which quickly entered the Top Ten on the Billboard charts\, eventually generating sales of more than three million copies. The album featured the hugely popular hit\, “Silent Lucidity\,” which would be the band’s first Top Ten single (#9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart). Geoff and the band would ultimately perform the Grammy nominated song live at the Grammy awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra. In all\, Queensryche has been nominated for a Grammy four times and has had their music featured in three feature films. \nIn 2006\, the band released Operation: Mindcrime II\, a scorching sequel to their original 1988 tale of “Rock\, Revenge and Redemption.” The band would soon hit the road performing both albums back-to-back in their entirety in an incredible theatrical presentation. The spectacle would be captured on Mindcrime at the Moore\, a double CD/DVD release so popular that the DVD would debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD chart and eventually reach gold status. Shortly after the release of that hugely successful set\, Queensryche would release another gem in 2007 titled\, Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche\, that featured 17 career-spanning tracks including seven Top 10 hits with a two-CD deluxe Collector’s Edition that added fifteen rare and previously unreleased recordings. Later that year\, the band found themselves on the fall leg of the highly acclaimed Heaven and Hell Tour with the late\, great Ronnie James Dio\, Tony Iommi\, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice along with other special guest\, Alice Cooper. The year would culminate with the release of Take Cover\, an adventurous 11-song collection of covers ranging from Black Sabbath to Broadway. \nIn early 2009\, Queensryche released American Soldier (via Atco/Rhino Records)\, a concept album inspired by the stories of military veterans that examines the consequences of war from the soldier’s perspective… yet another effort that will solidify Geoff and the band in rock history. A truly memorable experience\, the band met with\, and performed for\, troops in both the U.S. and the Middle East. In the year 2010\, Queensryche would\, once again\, display their immense creativity by presenting the Queensryche Cabaret\, which was heralded as “the first adults-only rock show.” In 2011\, the band would find themselves celebrating their 30th Anniversary in rock\, marking the occasion with the release of Dedicated to Chaos (Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud) and an extensive support tour. \nAt the end of 2012\, Geoff released his first solo album in over a decade titled\, Kings & Thieves (InsideOut Music)\, that was quickly followed by the news of a 25th Anniversary Mindcrime Tour that would encompass the United States in 2013. Also that year\, Geoff would release what would be his last album under the Queensryche name\, Frequency Unknown (Cleopatra Records)\, an effort that would feature such guest musicians as Ty Tabor\, K.K. Downing\, Brad Gillis\, Dave Meniketti and Chris Poland along with the members of his version of Queensryche at the time – Rudy Sarzo\, Robert Sarzo\, Simon Wright\, Kelly Gray and Randy Gane. \nIn 2014\, it was announced that Geoff and his band mates would be embarking on their farewell tour as Queensryche\, with a subsequent announcement stating that Queensryche with original lead singer Geoff Tate would be changing its name to “Operation: Mindcrime” in September for future tours and recordings. By the end of the year\, Geoff began working on one of his most ambitious works to date\, an entirely new concept album\, titled The Key\, that would be the first in a trilogy. Released in September of 2015 (Frontiers Music SRL)\, the debut album examined the question\, “What would you do if you discovered the key to changing the way we view the world\, the way we look at time\, the way we travel\, and could essentially change the human condition — for better or for worse?” Next in the trilogy would be 2016’s Resurrection\, completed by 2017’s The New Reality. All three albums were followed up with international tours that included extensive tours of the United States. \nBeginning in March 2025\, Geoff and the current line-up of Operation: Mindcrime\, hit the road to celebrate the final chapter of Operation: Mindcrime\, performing the 1988 landmark concept album from beginning to end in its entirety… It’s a show that Geoff loves to perform and fans love to see\, only proving that good music never goes out of style. As always\, Geoff looks forward to the musical journey that lies ahead and can’t wait to perform his next big rock show.

SUMMARY:Kid Cudi Present: The Rebel Rangers Tour @ PNC Pavilion @ Riverbend Music Center
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-Award winning rapper and songwriter Kid Cudi has announced ‘The Rebel Ragers Tour’\, hitting over 30 cities in North America including a stop in Cincinnati\, OH at Riverbend Music Center on Saturday\, May 16. Special guests on the Cincinnati show will include M.I.A.\, Big Boi\, and A-Trak. \nThe Rebel Ragers Tour spans the full scope of Cudi’s discography\, celebrating his evolution from early breakthrough records like “Day ’N’ Nite” and “Mr. Rager” to fan favorites that have shaped more than a decade of cultural impact. The tour also includes music from his latest release “Free”\, alongside recent standouts like the viral track “Maui Wowie\,” connecting longtime fans and new listeners through a powerful live experience. \nBeyond music\, Kid Cudi continues to expand his creative reach\, celebrating New York Times Best Seller status for his memoir Cudi and stepping onto a different stage with his recent stand-up comedy debut at Mi’s Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica\, CA. Furthering his multi-disciplinary artistry\, Cudi is set to debut his first visual art exhibition\, Echoes of the Past\, in Paris showcasing original works. \n  \nScott Mescudi\, professionally known as Kid Cudi\, is a Grammy Award–winning musician\, actor\, director\, author\, fashion founder\, and visual artist whose work has reshaped modern culture. Since emerging in 2008\, Cudi has built one of the most emotionally resonant catalogs in contemporary music\, creating a blueprint for vulnerability\, experimentation\, and genre-defying expression that continues to influence artists across generations. \nHis debut album\, Man on the Moon: The End of Day\, marked a cultural shift\, introducing a new emotional language to mainstream music. Over the course of his career\, Cudi has released ten studio albums\, sold more than 23 million records worldwide\, and maintained a rare longevity rooted in authenticity rather than trend. His influence remains active and visible\, with early tracks such as “Maui Wowie” recently finding renewed life through viral momentum and reaching a new generation of listeners years after their initial release. \nCudi’s most recent album\, Free\, represents a confident and expansive chapter in his evolution. The project reflects an artist fully in command of his voice\, balancing introspection with clarity and forward momentum while reinforcing his role as a creative who continues to grow rather than repeat himself. \nBeyond music\, Cudi has established a substantial career in film and television. His acting work spans HBO\, Amazon\, Disney\, and major studios\, with notable appearances in How to Make It in America\, Westworld\, Don’t Look Up\, X\, House Party\, and Bill & Ted Face the Music. He has collaborated with filmmakers across the industry\, including projects with A24 and Warner Bros.\, and starred in films that range from large-scale studio releases to critically acclaimed independent work. His Amazon documentary A Man Named Scott further offered an intimate portrait of his personal journey and creative impact. \nIn 2020\, Cudi founded Mad Solar\, his production and creative company focused on developing music\, film\, and television projects. He has continued to expand his storytelling through narrative short films\, animation\, and cross-platform releases\, most notably with Entergalactic\, which launched alongside its Emmy-nominated animated companion on Netflix. \nIn recent years\, Cudi has added author and visual artist to his creative portfolio. His memoir offers a deeply personal account of his life\, mental health journey\, and artistic evolution\, further cementing his role as a voice of emotional honesty. As a visual artist\, he has debuted original work in gallery settings\, translating the same introspective themes that define his music into a new medium. \nABOUT M.I.A \nChange precipitates growth. MIA exists in a constant state of change reflective of her own insatiable creativity\, acute internal compass\, and a perennial place ahead of the curve socially\, aesthetically\, and musically. As such\, she consistently sets the pace for culture. \nCatalyzed at the crossroads of art\, activism\, and fashion\, her seminal breakthrough album KALA arrived with the force of a tsunami in 2007. An insurgent pastiche of hip-hop attitude\, world music connectivity\, high fashion disruption\, and radicalized consciousness\, Rolling Stone and NME both christened it one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time\,” while Spin touted it among “The 300 Best Albums of the Past 30 Years.” It earned a gold certification and spawned the quadruple-platinum generational anthem “Paper Planes.” Indicative of its impact\, the mega-smash appeared in the Academy® Award-winning Slumdog Millionaire directed by iconic filmmaker Danny Boyle. Fellow revolutionaries Tom Morello and Boots Riley covered it as part of Street Sweeper Social Club\, while Rihanna performed it in a popular live medley. Famously\, T.I.\, JAY-Z\, Kanye West\, and Lil Wayne sampled it as the hook for the multiplatinum smash “Swagga Like Us\,” taking home the GRAMMY® Award for “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.”She parlayed this momentum into 2010’s MAYA\, which marked her first Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200. Following the 2013 opus Matangi and the banger “Bad Girls\,” AIM closed out 2016 on various year-end lists\, and Q dubbed it “her best outing since 2007’s Kala.” Along the way\, she collaborated with the likes of Madonna\, Nicki Minaj\, and Travis Scott\, to name a few. \nCasting just as wide of a shadow over fashion\, Versace\, Marc Jacobs\, and more have sought her out for collaborations. Recognizing her impact\, Vulture hailed her as “a precursor for the various fashion-rap acts (Travis Scott\, Lil Uzi Vert\, Playboi Carti\, and above all A$AP Rocky).” An outspoken humanitarian\, she has supported various global causes to build schools\, stand up for victims of atrocities\, and support impoverished communities. \nIn 2022 M.I.A. released MATA\, showing another side of herself altogether. \n“This album was actually written in a very peaceful place\,” she observes. “COVID happened\, and I’m sure there were expectations for me to make a violent and aggressive record\, but you already have that in my catalog. If you want to protest\, if you want to speak up\, or if you want to fight\, all of those songs are there—and they always will be. MATA is about rising above any earthly problems and social problems. I took a step back and looked at it from a bigger perspective. No matter what religion you ascribe to\, the message is ultimately the same. I create out of chaos. Everything that’s creative and created is god\, and everything that’s destructive and destroys is god too. To me\, this record is complete acceptance of the divine. Whatever happens is what happens. I approached this music as if I was meant to make it.” \nMATA certainly sounds meant to be. Writing throughout 2020 and 2021\, M.I.A. still “used her four-track and old laptop” and personally produced various tracks. At the same time\, she collaborated with the likes of Pharrell\, Diplo\, Rex Kudo\, Switch\, Troy Baker\, T-Minus\, and more. Beyond recording at home\, she also worked out of Rick Rubin’s Malibu studio. \nUltimately\, the album represents two halves of her vision. \n“On some songs\, I’m trying to escape and come back to my old style of writing and production\,” she reveals. “50% of the album is me holding on to what I am. The other half of the record is joining a bigger discussion about what I am\, because it’s not about the same comfort zone.” \nThat brings us to the first single “The One.” Co-produced by T-Minus and Kudo\, the upbeat groove underlines bold and buoyant bars as she examines a moment of transformation. Leaning into the beat\, she promises\, “This time I’m gonna flip the whole thing. New era I’m gonna bring it.” \n“It’s about the challenge of making this record\,” she muses. “It was raw ego versus embracing changes you have to embrace when it’s not about you. That happened to me. I had an awakening. It wasn’t something I was looking for. I was minding my own business. Boom\, out of nowhere\, I had this spiritual experience\, and it turned my world upside down creatively. That’s where I’m at now.” \nABOUT BIG BOI \nAtlanta indisputably set the pace for modern hip-hop. However\, Big Boi set the pace for Atlanta\, and by proxy\, the culture at large. If the genre of hip-hop ever gets its own “Rap Mount Rushmore\,” a legacy as the region’s foremost wordsmith\, funkiest gentleman\, and resident ATLien certainly guarantees a place for the diamond selling artist\, rapper\, songwriter\, record producer\, actor\, philanthropist born Antwan André Patton. Big made history as the preeminent spitter of the Dungeon Family and one-half of OutKast.

SUMMARY:Geoff Tate's Operation: Mindcrime The Final Chapter @ Rose Music Center @ The Heights
DESCRIPTION:GEOFF TATE’S OPERATION: MINDCRIME \nTHE FINAL CHAPTER \nROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS \nSATURDAY\, MAY 16\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, December 19 at 10AM \nHUBER HEIGHTS\, OH (12/16/2025) – Multi-platinum selling\, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate announced today additional dates for the 2026 U.S. leg of his “Operation: Mindcrime – The Final Chapter” Tour.  Get ready for a legendary night as Operation: Mindcrime is performed from beginning to end in its entirety for the last time at Rose Music Center at The Heights on Saturday\, May 16\, 2026. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, December 19 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office. \nMulti-platinum selling\, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Geoff Tate is best known for his 30-plus years as the creative and driving force behind the progressive metal band Queensryche. Since its inception with Geoff at the helm\, Queensryche has sold over 20 million albums worldwide and has performed in upwards of fifty countries. Geoff is regarded as one of the most skilled vocalists in the genre with hundreds of modern\, popular artists citing him and his former band as a major influence. Combining social consciousness and expertly crafted lyrics with high-energy\, melodically complex music\, Queensryche with Geoff Tate at the forefront became internationally recognized as the thinking man’s rock band. The band’s first three albums — their self-titled EP (1983)\, The Warning (1984) and Rage for Order (1986) — all hit gold status selling over 500\,000 units each. \nWith the release of their landmark concept album Operation: Mindcrime (1988) — which won critical and popular acclaim and comparisons to the Who’s Tommy and Pink Floyd’s The Wall — Queensryche went on to bring their progressive music to sold-out audiences the world over. Following the album’s platinum success\, Queensryche released Empire\, which quickly entered the Top Ten on the Billboard charts\, eventually generating sales of more than three million copies. The album featured the hugely popular hit\, “Silent Lucidity\,” which would be the band’s first Top Ten single (#9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart). Geoff and the band would ultimately perform the Grammy nominated song live at the Grammy awards accompanied by a supporting orchestra. In all\, Queensryche has been nominated for a Grammy four times and has had their music featured in three feature films. \nIn 2006\, the band released Operation: Mindcrime II\, a scorching sequel to their original 1988 tale of “Rock\, Revenge and Redemption.” The band would soon hit the road performing both albums back-to-back in their entirety in an incredible theatrical presentation. The spectacle would be captured on Mindcrime at the Moore\, a double CD/DVD release so popular that the DVD would debut at #1 on Billboard’s Top Music DVD chart and eventually reach gold status. Shortly after the release of that hugely successful set\, Queensryche would release another gem in 2007 titled\, Sign of the Times: The Best of Queensryche\, that featured 17 career-spanning tracks including seven Top 10 hits with a two-CD deluxe Collector’s Edition that added fifteen rare and previously unreleased recordings. Later that year\, the band found themselves on the fall leg of the highly acclaimed Heaven and Hell Tour with the late\, great Ronnie James Dio\, Tony Iommi\, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice along with other special guest\, Alice Cooper. The year would culminate with the release of Take Cover\, an adventurous 11-song collection of covers ranging from Black Sabbath to Broadway. \nIn early 2009\, Queensryche released American Soldier (via Atco/Rhino Records)\, a concept album inspired by the stories of military veterans that examines the consequences of war from the soldier’s perspective… yet another effort that will solidify Geoff and the band in rock history. A truly memorable experience\, the band met with\, and performed for\, troops in both the U.S. and the Middle East. In the year 2010\, Queensryche would\, once again\, display their immense creativity by presenting the Queensryche Cabaret\, which was heralded as “the first adults-only rock show.” In 2011\, the band would find themselves celebrating their 30th Anniversary in rock\, marking the occasion with the release of Dedicated to Chaos (Roadrunner Records/Loud & Proud) and an extensive support tour. \nAt the end of 2012\, Geoff released his first solo album in over a decade titled\, Kings & Thieves (InsideOut Music)\, that was quickly followed by the news of a 25th Anniversary Mindcrime Tour that would encompass the United States in 2013. Also that year\, Geoff would release what would be his last album under the Queensryche name\, Frequency Unknown (Cleopatra Records)\, an effort that would feature such guest musicians as Ty Tabor\, K.K. Downing\, Brad Gillis\, Dave Meniketti and Chris Poland along with the members of his version of Queensryche at the time – Rudy Sarzo\, Robert Sarzo\, Simon Wright\, Kelly Gray and Randy Gane. \nIn 2014\, it was announced that Geoff and his band mates would be embarking on their farewell tour as Queensryche\, with a subsequent announcement stating that Queensryche with original lead singer Geoff Tate would be changing its name to “Operation: Mindcrime” in September for future tours and recordings. By the end of the year\, Geoff began working on one of his most ambitious works to date\, an entirely new concept album\, titled The Key\, that would be the first in a trilogy. Released in September of 2015 (Frontiers Music SRL)\, the debut album examined the question\, “What would you do if you discovered the key to changing the way we view the world\, the way we look at time\, the way we travel\, and could essentially change the human condition — for better or for worse?” Next in the trilogy would be 2016’s Resurrection\, completed by 2017’s The New Reality. All three albums were followed up with international tours that included extensive tours of the United States. \nBeginning in March 2025\, Geoff and the current line-up of Operation: Mindcrime\, hit the road to celebrate the final chapter of Operation: Mindcrime\, performing the 1988 landmark concept album from beginning to end in its entirety… It’s a show that Geoff loves to perform and fans love to see\, only proving that good music never goes out of style. As always\, Geoff looks forward to the musical journey that lies ahead and can’t wait to perform his next big rock show.

DESCRIPTION:A Flock of Seagulls with STRANGELOVE — The Depeche Mode Experience to Perform at the Lexington Opera House on Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026 \nGeneral On-Sale Begins Friday\, March 20 at 10 A.M. \nLocal via Ticketmaster.com and LexingtonOperaHouse.com \nLEXINGTON\, KY (March 16\, 2026) –– On Wednesday\, May 20\, A Flock of Seagulls will be performing at the Lexington Opera House\, with STRANGELOVE — The Depeche Mode Experience. As well known for their bizarrely teased haircuts as for their hit single “I Ran (So Far Away)\,” A Flock of Seagulls were one of the most infamous one-hit wonders of the new wave era. Growing out of the synth-heavy and stylish new romantic movement\, they were slightly too robotic and arrived a little too late to be true new romantics\, but their sleek dance-pop was forever indebted to the short-lived movement. \nJoining them\, STRANGELOVE — The Depeche Mode Experience\, brings the revolutionary sounds of the ‘80s back to life. Songs from across the Depeche Mode catalog of over fifty chart-topping hits are lovingly recreated\, capturing the look\, feel\, and youthful energy of a classic-era DM arena show. No detail of STRANGELOVE’s presentation is overlooked: stage set pieces and in-show costume changes reflect different eras of Depeche Mode’s story. \nTickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday\, March 20\, at ticketmaster.com\, lexingtonoperahouse.com\, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays. \n

SUMMARY:The Sixties Show @ Lexington Opera House
DESCRIPTION:THE SIXTIES SHOW BRINGS ITS AWARD-WINNING THEATRICAL PRODUCTION TO LEXINGTON ON MAY 21 \nDazzling Multimedia Extravaganza Transports Audiences To Iconic Era \nLEXINGTON\, KY (February 17\, 2026) – Get ready for a super-charged journey back in time to a turbulent and groundbreaking era when THE SIXTIES SHOW brings its high-octane\, immersive\, multimedia experience to the Lexington Opera House for a performance on May 21. \nPlaying to packed theaters and performing arts centers around the US\, this award-winning\, off-Broadway theatrical production from New York City is not a nostalgia tribute act. Part live concert\, part time-travel ride\, and entirely unforgettable\, THE SIXTIES SHOW brilliantly recreates the 1960s with a ferocious energy that transports audiences to the music\, the politics\, the pop culture\, and the soul of an influential decade that reshaped the world. \nCo-created by New York City and Los Angeles music scene veterans Tom Licameli (Technical Producer and Multimedia Director\, featured guitarist/vocalist/bassist) and Craig O’Keefe (Musical Producer and Artistic Director\, as well as a featured bassist/guitarist/vocalist)\, THE SIXTIES SHOW combines jaw-dropping musical precision with stunning visuals and vintage flair. \n“We created the original show as a forceful theatrical thunderclap that rips open this historical timeline through authentically rendered music and brilliant storytelling\,” said O’Keefe.\n \nEvery note is performed live — no backing tracks\, no samples — using authentic 1960s-era gear and instrumentation\, right down to the mod wardrobe. Powerfully dramatized by archival footage\, newsreel audio\, theatrical lighting\, and time-bending narration\, the result is a spectacular multidimensional history lesson that fires on all fronts. \n“The goal was never just to recreate songs\, but to evoke genuine feeling\,” said Licameli. “We envisioned this as a fully immersive experience to make people feel like they are there – not watching the past\, but reimagining it and moving through it\, like they’re part of it.” \nTo achieve the spectacular sound\, THE SIXTIES SHOW is anchored by a powerhouse lineup of musicians. The show boasts a cast of current and former members of The Who\, John Fogerty’s band\, and The Rascals\, who have also been hand-picked to perform and record with such legends as Paul McCartney\, Mick Jagger\, The Beach Boys\, Bruce Springsteen\, and Steely Dan. Individually\, the cast members have played the world’s most iconic venues — from Madison Square Garden to The Hollywood Bowl\, Wembley Stadium to Tokyo’s Budokan — but when they come together for THE SIXTIES SHOW\, it is something truly singular. \nThe setlist dives deep — featuring not just Top 40 hits\, but rare B-sides and deep cuts that defined the ‘60s soundscape — all performed with uncanny fidelity and explosive passion. \nWhether you lived through the original era or are discovering it anew\, THE SIXTIES SHOW offers theatergoers an exhilarating opportunity to capture lightning in a lava lamp and experience in a unique new way one of the most  and prodigiously creative time periods in modern history. \nTickets go on sale to the general public Friday\, February 20 at 10AM EST. Purchase tickets at ticketmaster.com\, lexingtonoperahouse.com\, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays. \nFor more information on THE SIXTIES SHOW\, upcoming tour dates\, or to engage on social media\, visit: www.thesixtiesshow.com.

SUMMARY:George Thorogood & The Destroyers @ Rose Music Center @ The Heights
DESCRIPTION:GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS \nWITH THE MARSHALL TUCKER BAND \nROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS \nFRIDAY\, MAY 22\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, January 23 at 10AM \nHUBER HEIGHTS\, OH (1/20/2026) – For the past 5+ decades\, over 8\,000 live shows and more than 15 million albums sold\, George Thorogood & The Destroyers have been “The All-American Rock & Roll Party Band” (Goldmine Magazine). In celebration of their 53rd year of “playing rock & roll hot enough to melt the polar icecaps and flood the world’s major population centers” (Rolling Stone)\, the group announced today a continuation of The Baddest Show On Earth Tour – a stage-shaking\, roof-raising\, guitar-snarling blast. The 2026 tour includes a long-awaited return to Huber Heights\, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Friday\, May 22 with special guest\, The Marshall Tucker Band. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, January 23 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office. \nDuring 2025’s The Baddest Show on Earth Tour\, they played nearly 90 explosive shows\, were honored by The Recording Academy’s GRAMMY Museum\, saw George’s famed Gibson ES-125TDC ‘Bad To The Bone’ guitar placed on permanent exhibit at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, performed at halftime for the Las Vegas Raiders\, were inducted into The Musicians Hall of Fame\, delivered the top-rated PBS Special Recorded Live At Analog\, and more. \nBut now it’s 2026. What could George Thorogood & The Destroyers possibly do for an encore? \n“Encore?” bellows George with a good-natured laugh. “We’re just getting started!” \nFor an artist whose music honors the blues\, rock and country legends of the past\, Thorogood’s forward momentum is now stronger than ever. And along with longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums)\, Bill Blough (bass)\, Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone)\, they continue “to slap a custom flame paint job onto those classic sounds” (Blues Blast Magazine) like never before. “There’s never been a master plan\,” George says. “We’ll always be focused on playing music that makes all kinds of people happy. Because when the house lights go down\, the downbeat hits and the audience erupts\, there is no greater feeling in the world.” \nGeorge Thorogood & The Destroyers have always delivered on their promises. In 1976\, they debuted as the most explosive indie breakthrough act of the decade. Throughout the ‘80s/’90s MTV era\, Thorogood was the epitome of snakeskin & shades guitar-slinger cool. And with chart-topping hits like ‘One Bourbon\, One Scotch\, One Beer’\, ‘Move It On Over’\, ‘Who Do You Love?’\, ‘I Drink Alone’\, ‘Get A Haircut’ and the ultimate badass anthem ‘Bad To The Bone’\, George & The Destroyers soon became undeniable cornerstones of Classic Rock. Meanwhile\, their album catalog – which now includes \nGeorge’s acclaimed 2017 solo disc Party Of One\, 2020’s epic George Thorogood & The Destroyers Live In Boston 1982: The Complete Concert\, and 2022’s The Original George Thorogood – continues to dominate streaming charts worldwide. As live performers\, they will always be untouchable: whether it’s been their legendary 50 States/50 Days Tour\, landmark performances at Live Aid and on SNL\, opening club dates for Muddy Waters or stadium shows for The Rolling Stones\, and recent smash tours with John Fogerty\, ZZ Top and Sammy Hagar\, one of rock’s premier showmen and his band remain among the most reliable/formidable concert acts on the planet. “Over the past three years alone\, we’ve played more than 200 shows in 20 countries throughout North America\, Europe and Australia\,” Thorogood says with pride. “Don’t let anyone tell you this gig won’t keep you energized. I defy bands half our age to put on a show like we do night after night.” \nOffstage\, George & The Destroyers also set a stellar example with their commitment to humanitarian causes that include a long-term relationship with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society\, a current partnership with Musically Fed\, their annual ‘Who Do You Love’ holiday charity initiative now celebrating its 10th record-setting year\, and The Marla Thorogood Memorial Fund for Ovarian Cancer Research\, created in memory of George’s wife who passed away in 2019. “My generation was raised on kindness and empathy\,” Thorogood explains. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a rock star or the milkman. If you’ve been blessed with a successful career\, you have an obligation to give back and help others. Wherever The Destroyers can spread love and make a difference\, count us in.” \nIf the true spirit of rock & roll can turn uncharted territory into a blow-out party\, then George Thorogood & The Destroyers are among rock’s great conquerors.  And in a career which has seen him recently receive such monumental tributes as The B.B. King Award from The Montreal International Jazz Festival\, being made honorary members of The Bo Diddley Centennial Committee by Bo’s daughter and grandson\, and being invited to perform at The Grand Ole Opry\, are there any milestones left for Thorogood to achieve in the next 50 years? “It’s crazy to think that we’ve spent the last half century performing music we love for audiences who love what we do\,” George says. “But when you’ve got the best job in the world\, you can’t ever rest on your laurels. Accolades are nice\, but connecting with people is what really matters. We not only work hard to bring our best\, but to keep getting better. That’s the only mission. That’s rock & roll.”
