There’s nothing like going to see your favorite artist live
in concert. From the great music and atmosphere in the venue to the feeling of
belonging to that musical community, seeing a live show is the perfect way to
spend your weekend.
Vinyl Bay 777 loves live music and knows that you love it
too. That’s why we’ve highlighted seven shows happening this weekend for your
entertainment. If you enjoy pop, rock, metal or hip-hop, check out these shows
and get ready for a good time.
1.
Ariana
Grande: Arguably the biggest show happening this weekend, actress-turned-singer
Ariana Grande will be bringing her Dangerous Woman tour to Madison Square
Garden tonight for the second of two dates. Support for the tour comes from Little
Mix and Victoria Monet. Grande recently released a lyric video for her
single “Everyday,” from 2016’s ‘Dangerous Woman’ album. She also recently
released a collaboration with John Legend on the theme from the new live-action
‘Beauty and the Beast.’ (Friday, Madison Square Garden)
2.
We The Kings: We The Kings is currently on a
North American tour celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the band’s
self-titled debut album. The band released their last album, ‘Strange Love,’ in
2015 and is currently working on a new one. Tour support comes from Cute Is
What We Aim For, Plaid Brixx and Astro Lasso. (Friday, Playstation Theater)
3.
Emo Night Brooklyn: Emo Night is making its
return home to New York after successful events elsewhere around the country.
Featuring DJ sets with the best of 1990s and 2000s “emo” and guest appearances
from the genre’s arbiters, you never know what will happen or who you will see
there (for example, at the last Emo Night in LA, From First To Last reunited
with Sonny Moore, a.k.a. Skrillex). So far, artists that are set to perform are
The Skatalites and Organically Good Trio, but never expect this to be the final
line-up. If you want to relive your scene youth, this should be a great night
of music and dancing. (Friday, Brooklyn Bowl)
4.
Whitechapel: Metal Blade Records is celebrating
their 35th anniversary as a label this year with a U.S. tour.
Headlining the tour is Whitechapel, who have been releasing music on the label
for the last eight years, the most recent of which was 2014’s ‘Our Endless War.’
Also performing are Goatwhore and Allegaeon. (Saturday, Irving Plaza)
5.
Ms.
Lauryn Hill: One of the most influential female hip-hop artists in the
game, Ms. Lauryn Hill has been a fixture of the genre since her days with The
Fugees. Her only solo album, ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,’ was archived by
Harvard University’s Loeb Music Library last year, one of the first four to be
part of the library’s collaboration with the Hiphop Archive and Research Institute.
Her show Saturday is the first of four she has scheduled for 2017. (Saturday,
Radio City Music Hall)
6.
Huey
Lewis and the News: Huey Lewis and company are doing a short tour of the
United States this spring before playing Wrigley Field with Jimmy
Buffett this July. The band’s most recent album, ‘Soulsville,’ an album of
covers from early Stax Records artists, was released in 2010. In 2013, the band
rereleased their breakthrough album, ‘Sports.’ (Sunday, St. George Theatre)
7.
Run The Jewels: Run The Jewels have become one
of the hottest new hip-hop duos of the last five years. Releasing their third
self-titled album earlier this year, the duo of El-P and Killer Mike will be
bringing their Run The World tour to New York’s Terminal 5 for four shows
starting Saturday, that is if you can get tickets. Support on this tour comes
from The Gaslamp Killer, Gangsta Boo, Nick Hook and Cuz. (Saturday through
Wednesday , Terminal 5)
There is no better way to spend your weekend (other than
patronizing your local record shop) than seeing a live show. Use these shows as
a starting point in your effort to finalize your weekend plans.
