JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Jessie Reyez brings her raspy vocals and lyrical gold to Crystal Ballroom on July 27.

  • If industrial music were a dystopian sci-fi blockbuster, Front Line Assembly would be the shadowy masterminds pulling the strings behind the scenes. Get tickets to see them at Star Theater in September.

  • Indie rock quartet Arcy Drive is rewriting the rules of cool with their self-proclaimed “attic rock” sound, a genre born from late-night jam sessions in dusty attics and fueled by raw, unfiltered passion. Experience it live at Wonder Ballroom in September.

  • Demetri Martin is the comedy world’s resident mad scientist, armed with a guitar, a giant sketch pad, and a brain wired for absurdity. Don’t miss the Quick Draw Tour landing at Revolution Hall on October 5.

  • Think Neil Diamond classics, but with a shot of adrenaline and a wink of rock ‘n’ roll irreverence. Don’t miss Super Diamond at Crystal Ballroom in February.

SPRING & SUMMER FESTIVALS

Spring and summer are calling, and they’re not whispering—they’re screaming festival season! It’s time to dust off your flower crowns, cowboy boots, or leather jackets (depending on your vibe) because 2025 is serving up a buffet of music festivals that’ll make your Spotify playlists look like amateur hour. Here’s the rundown of the hottest events to keep your calendar booked and your sunscreen stocked.

COMING UP

💪 Healthy Kids Day

April 26 @ YMCA  

The YMCA is hosting a free Healthy Kids Day event on April 26. Get involved in your community and enter to win a 3-month membership while you’re at it!*

🎧 SoDown

Saturday @ 45 East (10PM)

SoDown is a vibe, a movement, and possibly the only saxophone-wielding superhero EDM didn’t know it needed.

🎸 The Unlikely Candidates

Saturday @ Hawthorne Lounge (8PM)

The Unlikely Candidates are the kind of band that makes you want to roll down the windows, crank up the volume, and let the world know you’ve got impeccable taste in music.

🔥 Etran De L'Aïr

Saturday @ Wonder Ballroom (7PM)

Family collective Etran De L’Aïr is guiding listeners through a kaleidoscope of desert blues, pan-African rhythms, and electrifying improvisation.

🎤 Juvenile

Sunday @ Wonder Ballroom (7PM)

Let’s not even front like “Back That Azz Up” isn’t still the unofficial national anthem of every party. Juvenile’s legacy is alive and well with the 400 Degreez Band, bringing that same fire to live performances.

LOCALS ONLY

  • The 16th Annual St. Johns Bizarre brings over 200 vendors, live performances, a beer garden, kid activities, and much more to downtown St Johns on May 10.

  • Zoo Brew brings more than 50 breweries, cideries, and food trucks to the zoo and allows you to build up a buzz while gawking over a baby elephant, lions, giraffes, and more.
