Best Indie & Rock This Spring

in Providence

Shrek Rave at The Met

Shrek Rave

But he might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, so you know what to say when he asks what you're doing in his swamp. Fancy some swampy green cocktails while livin' la vida loca? You're in the right place for that, and like they say, it's dumb just come have fun, cool is dead. Awesome DJs will play the most swamp-worthy sets in between performances to keep your rave spirit alive. Make the most of the night and dress up as your favorite character, just don't skimp out on the gumdrop buttons or the classic Farquaad hair. And the morning after? Make sure you have some waffles!

Buckethead at The Met

Buckethead

Legendary guitarist Buckethead is heading out on tour! Real name Brian Patrick Carroll, Buckethead has spent his whole onstage career behind a Halloween inspired mask, with a KFC bucket perched on his head. His ominous appearance has created an almost mystical aura around him, backed up by his transcendently good guitar playing, blending metal, blues and prog with stunning effect.

Little River Band at Stadium Performing Arts Center

Little River Band

An Australian rock band hailing from Melbourne, who took their name from a road sign for the Victorian township of Little River, Little River Band has found success in both Australia and the USA and have since gone on to be hugely popular throughout the world. Enjoy an unmissable evening with the group as they bring the live show to you this year!

Sir Chloe at Fete Music Hall

Sir Chloe

The ascent of Sir Chloe to widespread acclaim was meteoric, propelled by the infectious energy of their breakout hit, "Michelle,". In 2020, the band solidified their place in the indie rock scene with the release of their debut EP, "Party Favors,". In the subsequent years, Sir Chloe's music reached new heights with the release of non-album singles "Company" and "Mercy" and their 202 studio album "I Am The Dog,", a tour de force of sonic exploration and introspective lyricism.

Kansas at Providence Performing Arts Center

Kansas

The legendary Kansas are celebrating their 50th anniversary! They're heading out on the road across North America in 2024, touring their extensive catalog including AOR radio staples like 'Carry on Wayward Son' and 'Fight Fire with Fire'. Don't miss the chance to celebrate five decades of this iconic American rock band!

Crash Test Dummies at Jane Pickens Theater

Crash Test Dummies

Perhaps the only band in the history of '90s p-p rock able to make a hit single chorus out of an onomatopoeic word, Canadian rock quintet Crash Test Dummies defied grammatical conventions with the success of their 1993 song 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm', becoming alt-rock icons in the platinum-certified process. Seven studio albums and two hiatuses later and the band are back on the road, bringing their extensive back catalog to you!
