Tampa Bay’s live music weekend is sweaty as hell and obsessed with nostalgia this week thanks in part to a big show from Avril Lavigne. There are festivals (like FL Rules in Brandon) peppered in with house gigs (mangos anyone?), homegrown heavy hitters and more.

This listing of Tampa Bay’s best live music happening June 19-26 is compiled by Creative Loafing Tampa Bay staffers and contributors then supplemented with select shows from CL’s user-driven events calendar. Don’t see your show listed here? Help our small team out by listing it yourself—thanks!
