WildSplash w/MIGOS/Trey Songz/Fat Joe/Kodak Black/Russ/Amine/MadeinTYO By the time you read this, Wild Splash 2017 may very well be completely sold out (the only way to get in at press time was to win a ticket). Don’t worry though because the long running spring break festival’s headliner (Migos) go onstage pretty early (7 p.m. EST) and are slated to appear at an after party happening at AJA in downtown Tampa’s Channelside district. Trey Songz is supposed to be at Whiskey North in Carrollwood after the concert as well, but you all know that these club appearances tend to be pretty much hit or miss when it comes to seeing actual performances.(Coachman Park, Clearwater) INFO
Tampa Pro After Party w/Samurai Shotgun/Arctic/DJ Kevin Romar Samurair Shotgun just got done rocking Crowbar with Big Freedia, but tonight they are at the Skatepark of Tampa where a very turnt crowd will throwdown at SPoT's infamous post contest party. (Skatepark of Tampa, Tampa) INFO
Boogie Woogie Piano Stomp w/Rob Rio/Bob Seely/ Liz Pennock & Dr. Blues Jump blues dates all the way back to the 1940s and 1950s, but it’ll be alive and well in St. Pete this weekend when Rob Rio replaces Henry Butler (who’s alive, but not well enough to play the show) at the eighth annual celebration of raucous boogie woogie piano. (Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg) INFO
El Ten Eleven w/Mylets Watching Kristian Dunn shred a double neck bass is something every prog rock music junkie deserves to see at least once in his or her life, and virgins to the El Ten Eleven get a chance to experience it up close and personal when Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty take the Crowbar stage a few moments after one man band Henry Kohen (aka Mylets) loops his way through a performance that’s earning him recognition as one of the world’s best young guitarists. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
March 4-5, Reggae Rise Up Florida 2017 w/Dirty Heads/Steel Pulse/The Green/Slightly Stoopid/Iration Three weeks ago, CL premiered a new live video from long running San Diego reggae rockers Slightly Stoopid. The clip found the band working through "The Prophet," a hidden song from their 1996 self-titled debut, at Vinoy Park while thousands of screaming fans danced along. Hopefully history repeats itself when the Stoopid ones returns to St. Pete as part of a two day bill with some of the chillest vibes (and livest bands) out. If reggae-pop is your thing, then this fest is your weekend mecca. (Vinoy Park, St Pete.) INFO
Amy Ray w/Geri X You may never see the Indigo Girls at storied Ybor City watering hole New World Brewery, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be excited about settling for one of them. That’s exactly what’s happening when Amy Ray comes to the famed Eighth Avenue patio for a solo set of tender tunes that are going to make you remember the time you went Stag to Prom. Fill your lungs with love at this one, and be ready to travel the whole of the Grammy winning 52 year old songwriter’s well documented career. Ray is supposed to be working on a new album that’ll be recorded this year, so maybe fans will get a sneak peek at this show. (New World Brewery, Ybor City) INFO
Florida Strawberry Festival and Concerts w/3 Doors Down/Kane Brown Don’t worry, the only semi-recognizable band at Trump’s pre-inauguration party is not bringing The Don to Plant City for this one. Yes, we know 3 Doors Down’s only hits (“Here Without You,” “Kryptonite”) are older than the furball living on our POTUS’s dome, but that doesn’t mean they still can’t belt them out for fans willing to shell out the money to be there. (Florida Strawberry Festival Grounds, Plant City) INFO
Daughtry It seriously feels like festival palooza this weekend (thanks Wild Splash and Strawberry Festival) and even Busch Gardens is getting in on the action when they kick off their Food & Wine Festival with hard rocking “American Idol” alum Daughtry. Admission to these concerts is included with a park ticket, but there are options to add VIP seating and sampling options to the your experience. (Busch Gardens Food & Wine Festival, Tampa) INFO
