Best Coast January 22 – The Clubhouse
For everyone into the indie surf pop scene. Don’t worry, we know you loved them first.

Interpol February 5 – Marquee Theatre
Post-punk-revival-indie-rock. The more hyphens, the better.

The Smith Westerns February 10 – The Rhythm Room
After releasing their third studio album of indie lable, Fat Possum, these guys hit the road to promote their unique sound…and the show is ony $8. Check out the new album, Dye it Blonde, as it is seriously amazing.
Badfish February 12 – Marquee Theatre
Everyone’s favorite Sublime tribute band. We maintain they are better than Sublime with Rome and these former Computer Science Majors have been tearing it up with sold-out shows since 2001.

Pete Yorn with Ben Kweller February 14 – Marquee Theatre
Cozy up to your sweetheart and be sure to enjoy “musicforthemorningafter” the night of

311 February 22 -Marquee Theatre
Don’t Stay Home for this.

Ozzy Osbourne February 26 – Comerica Theatre
Watch “The Godfather of Metal” spit doom and gloom all over eager fans…if you’re into that.

Linkin Park February 28 – US Airways Center
California natives take on arena rock. We hope Chester Benington has the lungs to fill such a large venue with his screams.

Flogging Molly March 17 - Marquee Theatre
St. Patrick’s Day tradition going strong. After a night of green beer, you won’t know whether to mosh or bust our your best “Lord of the Dance” moves.

Girl Talk March 23 – Marquee Theatre
Hear your favorite top 40 hits remixed so they can actually be tolerated.

The Pink Floyd Experience March 26 – Comerica Theatre
Hey you! Light one up and you may not even notice the difference.

Lady Gaga March 26 – US Airways Center
Remember kids: No pants, no meat dress, no concert.

All Time Low with The Summer Set April 11 – Marquee Theatre
No, we’re not in high school, but it is sure nice to remember those great times. Local band, The Summer Set, will be opening for the opener … of the opener.

The Black Keys with Cage the Elephant April 14 – Marquee Theatre
The most anticipated concert of the year, at least for us at DLT.

Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart April 15- US Airways Center
If you want his body, and you think he’s sexy….well, we did on the edge of seventeen. This will be one rocktastic evening.

Moody Blues May 5  – Comerica Theatre
Classic British Rock for those who felt this list lacked diversity.

New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys June 30 - US Airways Center
Boy Bands transcending decades in an effort to unite former fans and bring them right back to their screaming, brace-faced, acne-ridden teeny bopper days.

Check out US Airways Center , Comerica Theatre, Marquee Theatre and The Clubhouse for tickets. Of course, this list is ever changing, but it’s always nice to know when to book your sick days early in the year.
