Austin Mahone Teen heartthrob and YouTube sensation Austin Mahone rolls into downtown St. Pete this Thursday, where he is set to play State Theater. This will be just the second stop on Mahone’s “A Tour For Me + You.” Fresh off the April release of his new song “Creatures For the Night,” Mahone is rumored to be working on his first full length commercial album, so there’s a fair chance fans might be treated to some more new music. The Texas-native is no stranger to the limelight. The 21-year old has been singing for fans since the age of 14, whether it be on YouTube or opening for Taylor Swift’s Red tour. So head down to Central Avenue on Thursday for and up close and personal show with Cash Money Records’ equivalent of Justin Bieber (Lil’ Wayne signed Mahone in 2013).

Rock The Park w/Zigtebra/Luxury Mane/Ari Chi If you’d like to dance in your underwear, then head to Zigtebra’s Bandcamp page where the Chicago duo made up of Emily Rose and Joe Zeph has spent the springtime sprinkling blissed-out droplets of synth-heavy pop (“Want You,” “No Matter How Far” and “Take Off Your Mask” are all seasonally-appropriate jams) all over its corner of the Internet. Put on some pants when you’re done, and then head to downtown Tampa where the band will be joined by a pair of local heavyweights — rock and roll legends Luxury Mane and rising uke-wielding songwriter Ari Chi — for yet another free outdoor, pet-friendly concert at The Curt.
