Led by Black Francis Pixies can lay claim to being the most important American band of the past 30 years. This year marked the release of Head Carrier which they're touring across North America and Canada with new touring bassist Paz Lenchantin, who joined in 2014. Promising a mix of both their old discography and new hits, Pixies fans will be in for a heady trip when they burst into town.

London-based alt pop singer songwriters Oh Wonder are riding high after the release of their second studio album Ultralife in the Summer of 2017. The dynamic duo, comprised of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, achieved critical and commercial success with their heady combination of soaring choruses, glimmering soundscapes and killer pop hooks.

After reuniting in 2006, Toad the Wet Sprocket have set out to honour their contribution to the landscape of the early 90's, including 1991's 'All I Want' and 'Walk on the Ocean', by performing, reworking and updating their back catalogue, without losing their emotional core.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise may sound like the title of a Japanese game show, but the band's mature, genre-defying sound is as surprising as their choice of moniker. Drawing upon facets of grunge, alt-rock, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals. Don't miss the quintet as they hit the road to celebrate the April 2018 release of their third studio album How To: Friend, Love, Freefall.

This Boston-formed country band has been winning over music fans with their diverse style since winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2006 and self-financing the recording of their debut album 'In This Episode'. With their key influences in classic pop and swing era jazz, they often cite The Beatles as their main inspiration.
