While many of Tampa Bay’s independent, small local venues and promoters are still waiting on approval of their lifeline Shuttered Venue Operator Grant, the touring industry is trying to claw its way back by announcing shows seemingly every minute.
The Bay area has been no exception, and in response, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay has dedicated half a page in its physical edition to listing as many of the new concert announcements.
One new announcement involves "Think Too Much” singer Hannah Jadagu (pron. juh-dah-goo) who is coming out of the pandemic by going on her first-ever tour supporting her acclaimed Sub Pop EP, What Is Going On? She supports Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing at The Ritz on Oct. 18.
Here’s an initial motherlode of new concerts coming to Tampa Bay. Check back each week for a new round.
