Last year, Crown The Empire—previously, err, crowned as the “Backstreet Boys of the metal world”—was supposed to perform at Orpheum, but ended up taking over Jannus Live, due to the Ybor standard’s new Tampa location needing a few final touches before opening to the public.

Just over a year later, the Dallas-based metal quartet—fresh off the release of a new album, Dogma—finally gets to perform the Orpheum show it longed for.

Tickets to see Crown The Empire play Tampa Orpheum on Sunday, July 9 are still available and start at $57.
