Orlando lucked out in 2015, as we see more and more incredible bands and artists booking concerts at our most active venues, including plenty of classic material (The Beach Boys, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac), exciting, trending current bands (Tune-Yards, Tyler the Creator, METZ), bizarre throwback shows (the Dwarves with the Queers and Richie Ramone, Lisa Loeb), a dose of nostalgia (Peter Hook’s Joy Division Celebration) and lots more (Jenny Lewis, OK Go, Cashmere Cat, Wilco, Minus the Bear). Don’t miss your favorite band while they’re in town this spring! (P.S. We know spring doesn’t technically start until March 20, but we started a little sooner just in case you’ve been bunked up all winter and out of the loop.)
