Country singer Gary Allan plays Desert Diamond Casino.

Country singer Gary Allan returns to Tucson on Friday, May 3, for a pre-Cinco de Mayo concert at Desert Diamond Casino, 1100 W. Pima Mine Road off Interstate 19.

Usually itโ€™s sweater weather when Allan pulls his tour bus into our corner of the desert. Every other year or so, he would make his way to a Tucson stage around his early December birthday.

Weโ€™re pretty sure that the weather will be the last thing to cross Allanโ€™s mind when he goes on stage at 8 p.m. and runs through his rockabilly-flavored country catalogue of hits, โ€œSmoke Rings In the Dark,โ€ (his breakthrough song),โ€œRight Where I Need to Be,โ€ โ€œLife Ainโ€™t Always Beautifulโ€ and โ€œNothinโ€™ On But the Radioโ€ among them.

Tickets are $37.50 to $57.50 through startickets.com
