FLEET FOXES

Still busy touring last year’s excellent Crack-Up, Fleet Foxes just announced they’ll play Pitchfork Festival this summer, and other big outdoor events like CoachellaBoston Calling, and Shaky Knees.

EARTH WIND & FIRE

Funk/disco greats Earth, Wind & Fire continue to tour — you may have seen them with Chic last year — and their 2018 is a veritable boogie wonderland of concerts, including two shows at New Jersey’s NJPAC Prudential Hall on June 4 & 5, and Canandaigua, NY’s CMAC on August 29. All dates are here.
