On the last day of September, Jack White will play a show at the Linda Rondstadt Music Hall at the Tucson Convention Center, about the same time that Finnish symphonic metal band Apocalyptica hits the stage at the Rialto Theatre and the Louisiana soul-rock band Seratones play a concert across the street at Club Congress.
At the west end of Congress, comedian Lewis Black will be yucking it up on all things politics and social commentary at Fox Tucson Theatre, while Daughtry is pulling its tour bus into Desert Diamond Casino in Sahuarita.
The Sept. 30-Oct. 2 weekend also includes folk-rocker Bonnie Raitt at the Music Hall on Oct. 1 and the hot newcomer power pop trio Sitting On Stacy at Club Congress Oct. 2.
In case anyone was wondering, live entertainment in Tucson is back at full throttle.
There are a number of weekends through year's end with two, three and sometimes four options for live entertainment, from pop and rock concerts to classical, opera and live theater. Tickets are available through the venues or presenters' websites.
