The Black Keys and Gary Clark Jr. Rock Chicago at Huntington Bank Pavilion
When The Black Keys hit the stage, the energy shifted up another notch. They opened with “Thickfreakness,” “The Breaks,” and “I’ll Be Your Man,” immediately showcasing the tight, punchy blues-rock that has defined their sound for years.

Phantogram Light Up Detroit with a Hypnotic Night at The Fillmore
Detroit got a full dose of dream-pop intensity when Phantogram brought their tour to The Fillmore on Sunday night. The ornate theater became a swirling storm of bass, synths, and flashing lights, and by the end of the night, it felt less like a concert and more like being pulled into the band’s own universe.

Psychedelic Serenity on the Cuyahoga
After a gloomy day of rain and gray skies, the clouds finally broke just in time for Goose to bring the sunshine.
Jacob’s Pavilion was bursting with life—glittered cheeks, tie-dye shirts, funky outfits, and fans already dancing before the band even took the stage.
This wasn’t just a concert—it was a gathering. A celebration. A shared pulse. And Goose hadn’t even played a note yet.
