Tampa Bay’s live music weekend is here, and it’s going “MMMbop” thanks to Hanson’s appearance at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. BTS has a three-night stand at Raymond James Stadium, too.

Alabama Shakes—playing BayCare Sound in Clearwater next Thursday—is the rock heavyweight on the lineup thanks to the resurgent rock outfit’s return to the concert circuit.

A Friday set from Boogarins, plus New Port Richey’s Monufest leads the slate of punk-rock shows coming to Tampa Bay between April 23-30, and you can see a full listing of live music coming to the area below.
