Dr. Dog fans: Your heart, it races today. The beloved Philadelphia rock band skipped Tampa Bay on its last tour, but the boys will return on March 1 for a show at Orpheum in Ybor City.

The gig is one of just two Florida dates for the band, which is touring in support of its 2018 album, Critical Equation, which found the crew moving away from the lo-fi, analog sound of its previous releases.

Tickets will cost fans $20-$25 and go on sale Friday, October 19. The Nude Party — who fans can see headline Crowbar in Ybor City on October 18 — opens the show.

Dr. Dog w/The Nude Party. Fri. March 1, 8 p.m. $20-$25. Orpheum, 1915 E. 7th Ave., Ybor City. aestheticized.com.
