JUST ANNOUNCED

• 20 years later, the album that wrecked you in the best way is getting the tribute it deserves. Dan Layus of Augustana is hitting The Alberta Rose Theatre for an intimate solo performance of All The Stars and Boulevards — played front to back, heartbreak and all.

• Shoegaze royalty returns. Chapterhouse is celebrating 35 years of Whirlpool with a rare live performance of their iconic debut album — played in full at the Aladdin Theater.

• Racing Mount Pleasant is coming to Aladdin Theater in June — and they’re bringing a full tank of fuzzed-out guitars, anthemic hooks, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.

• Your pop queen, style icon, and millennial fever dream is stepping back on stage — and she’s bringing the hits, the nostalgia, and the energy we’ve all been manifesting since 2004. Get tickets for Hilary Duff at Cascades Amphitheater.

• Pop? Metal? AI glitch ghost? Whatever dimension Poppy is operating in, she’s bringing it to Roseland Theater this summer — loud, weird, and absolutely unmissable.
