Thursday-Friday, June 11-12: Noah Kahan
Soulful troubadour Noah Kahan has a song or two for Orlando this summer.

Thursday, July 9: Tori Amos

Sunday, July 19: Six Feet Under
Brutal death metal standard-bearers Six Feet Under are headed straight for us, and they’re bringing more than a few of their rowdy friends along for the ride.

Make sure to properly stretch out your neck before this one. 6 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $33.
Monday, July 20: Not for Radio
What’s in a name? It can be a mission statement or a clean break from the past — or maybe even both if you’re María Zardoya, from indie-rock band The Marias. As Not for Radio, she’s crafted an affecting album of lo-fi and late-night indie-torch, Melt, all stemming from one question: “Is love worth the pain?” You can find out the answer for yourself at what’s sure to be a command performance from this young musician. 7:30 p.m., Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, pricing TBA.
Saturday, Aug. 15: Poppy
Poppy is coming back to Orlando to promote her newest album, Empty Hands, on her “Constantly Nowhere” tour. Rising to fame for her uncanny-valley pastel look and futuristic bubblegum pop sound, Poppy has been evolving her sound of late with elements of harder-edge electronic music and even metal (!). And the heaving moshpit at her last Orlando show demonstrated that her fans are embracing the evolution. 7 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $63-$202.
Tuesday, Aug. 25: Sincere Engineer
Chicago punks Sincere Engineer are poised to get their Probable Claws (album title pun alert!) back into Orlando after an absence of a couple of years. The urgent, heart-on-sleeve rockers never fail to draw a crowd ready to belt out every yearning chorus. Why not start with “Fast Forward, Rewind,” a surging new anthem about looking back at your life and trying to quick-skip over the not-so-good times? 7 p.m., Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $17-$20.
Friday-Saturday, Aug. 28-29: Metamorphosis Arts & Music Festival
The countdown to one of Orlando’s most immersive music experiences is officially on until the Metamorphosis Music & Arts festival returns to the Orlando Amphitheater with two days of sound, art and community-driven energy. The lineup features big EDM names like Illenium, Ganja White Night, Bunt., Inzo and Sullivan King. Spread across multiple stages, each designed with its own sonic identity and visual aesthetic, the festival encourages a “choose-your-own-adventure” musical exploration. Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, metamorphosismusicfestival.com, $238-$347.88.
Sunday, Aug. 30: Devo
The iconic red energy-dome helmets, the satirical fashion statements, apocalyptic warnings and the new wave masterminds behind it all, Devo, will indeed play Florida this summer. The five-piece band from Ohio began performing in 1972, combining biting political commentary and devoltionary warnings with art-punk/post-punk sounds. Their most popular song, “Whip It,” skewers blind American optimism and conformity, even ending up on Stranger Things of late. Declared by David Bowie to be “the band of the future”, Devo were right about everything — much to their dismay. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $87.10-$413.40.
Thursday, Sept. 3: Marky Ramone and Who Are You
Marky Ramone, drummer from legendary NYC punks The Ramones, is back on the road to show you how it’s done. Ramone is touring with Who Are You, a Who tribute band. There’s a lot of common ground between the Who’s early explosive mod freakouts and the Ramones’ speedy yet bubble-gum rampage — so enjoy this live history lesson. And will there be a drum-off between Ramone and the ersatz Keith Moon? It’s impossible not to speculate — and hope. 8 p.m., Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $86.81-$138.56.
Thursday, Sept. 17: Gorillaz
2-D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel are back on stage, and in the 3D realm, as Gorillaz. The four-piece created by Blur’s Damon Albarn and illustrator Jamie Hewlett explores a world of sound through a very animated and opinionated virtual rock band. Now the cartoon quartet (and the crew of all-star musicians who bring them to tuneful life) perform new India-influenced album The Mountain and other hits at the Kia Center. 7 p.m., 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $120.60-$897.39.
Friday, Sept. 18: Nitzer Ebb
It is time once again for Orlando to join in the chant with veteran industrial-EBM act Nitzer Ebb. The Bon Harris-led band keep it simple, percussion-heavy and anthemic with earworm dystopian anthems like “Control I’m Here,” “Let Your Body Learn” and “Violent Playground.” Their last Orlando show in 2024 had a packed house dissolving into a joyous flail of limbs and the ecstatic rhythmic stomping of combat boots. You will dance. 7 p.m., The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando.com, $45.
Friday, Sept. 18: Modest Mouse
Indie-rock icons Modest Mouse are touring behind eighth album An Eraser and a Maze, and they’re heading to Disney Springs to show off the new songs. Rising out of the 1990s Pacific Northwest underground, Modest Mouse has produced eight albums, showcasing a sound that remains plaintive and biting, angular and lush. 7 p.m., House of Blues, 1490 E. Buena Vista Drive, houseofblues.com, $60.50-$296.20.
Tuesday, September 22: Wu-Tang Clan
The legendary Brooklyn rap collective is on the way to the City Beautiful, as part of a massive farewell world tour “Wu-Tang Forever: The Final Chamber” with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. It’s a big deal. This is the final tour for the Clan, assembling all the surviving original members of this era-defining hip-hop crew, so shows are bound to be wild and emotional. 7:30 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $36-$749.40.
