October Event Calendar
John Mayer
John Mayer has proven his worth as a singer and guitarist since "No Such Thing" hit the charts in 2022. He's continued to build a loyal fan base with a series of albums and is a reliable arena headliner capable of performing multiple dates in large markets. He's stripping things down for his current tour: just John with his voice and a guitar. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive with the singer telling stories between songs. He's also known for regularly changing up the setlist, combining hits with deep-cut fan favorites and covers from night to night.
Barenaked Ladies
The Barenaked Ladies have continued to make music and perform for more than 30 years. Most synonymous with their 1998 hit "One Week," Barenaked Ladies is a crowd-pleasing quartet for alt-rock fans. Buy your tickets online.

Trevor Noah
Trevor Noah is sorely missed as host of the Daily Show, but the South African comedian remains a force in entertainment, drawing thousands of fans to stand-up shows at large theaters and even arenas.
