May marks the two-year anniversary of CityBeat’s spotlight articles highlighting performances from local artists each month, and, because of that (and because there is so much going on this month), this list is a little bit longer this time around. Here are some of the best (and still not all) shows, performances, presentations, recitals, concerts, pop-ups, festivals and more going on all around town this month to kick off what looks like one of the best summers ever in style.

On April 30, Ben Gibbard performed with his two popular indie bands, Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus.

Slow Pulp opened for the bands.
English heavy metal band Judas Priest visited Indianapolis as part of their "Invincible Shield Tour" on April 28. The band, along with special guest Sabaton, performed in front of a lively crowd at Everwise Amphitheater.
