After more than a year of waiting, we’re on the cusp of the biggest weekend for concerts and music events in the Valley since the pandemic began. No joke. The next three days and nights will feature a mix of big names and notable shows, including three music festivals, long-awaited gigs, and a slew of superstar DJs dropping beats.
Big Surf in Tempe will stage rock and punk concerts in its wave pool on back-to-back days featuing iconic bands like Fishbone, Ozomatli, Pennywise, and Face to Face. Elsewhere, Celebrity Theatre will host its first indoor show since March 2020 and local electronic dance music promoter Relentless Beats is planning a big outdoor DJ fest at Rawhide. It s also Memorial Day weekend, which means tons of pool parties in the mix.
