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.
The three-day stretch from Friday, May 28, to Monday, May 31, will be filled with plenty of Memorial Day weekend nightlife events, parties, and concerts around the Phoenix area.
Roqy Tyraid Launches Tyraid Tuesdays Series
Rapper and activist Jacob Railford has been anything but idle during the pandemic. The artist known as Roqy Tyraid (a self-described “cultivator of culture” and “purveyor of punchline”) has hit the streets while organizing and participating in protests for black civil rights with the W.E. Rising Project. He’s also been busy in the studio recording a series of freestyle sessions for his recently launched “Tyraid Tuesday” series.
Putting in that work on Monday. Back through with a part 3 tomorrow then next week we’re switching it up. I’m having fun. Hopefully you can say the same ??????????.
