Here are my recommendations for upcoming concerts in the third quarter of 2017. I also added some extra since I’m slightly late. I’ve checked out all of these artists and there are some of my favorites like Sza, Anderson .Paak, Phony Ppl, and Ari Lennox to intriguing new acts like Vagabon. Of course some of these songs are explicit (mostly just Lil Yachty) so be mindful around kids.

Let me know in the comments if there are people you’re excited about! I’ve put an asterisk next to mine. And subscribe to the newsletter so you’ll find out when this gets updated or if I’m giving away tickets!
