Parking lot concerts are becoming more regular on the loading dock of this brewery that’s not in Ybor City.

This one at Coppertail Brewing Co. is headlined by Anamanaguchi a New York chiptune legend that used a 2025 album, Anyway, to try on a new indie-rock sound (no shred of emo though, despite the record featuring the American Football house on the cover).

California math-rock favorite Covet opens the show along with Virginia trio Drook still touring behind a charming 2024 album of electro-hyperpop, The Pure Joy of Jumping.

Tickets to see Anamanaguchi, Covet, and Drook at Coppertail Brewing in Tampa on Tuesday, Sept. 22 are still available and start at $34.55.
