Originally a duo, the project has evolved into Scott Kirkland\u2019s solo-led incarnation following Ken Jordan\u2019s 2017 exit. Kirkland continues to keep the name active, releasing albums like 2018\u2019s \u201cThe Trip Home\u201d and 2022\u2019s \u201cThe Trip Out\u201d while pulling from a catalog that includes era-defining tracks like the massive hit \u201cGet Busy Child.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/wl.seetickets.us\/event\/the-bollox\/672283?afflky=TheRebelLounge\">The Bollox<br \/><\/a>Friday, Jan. 30, 8 p.m.<br \/>The Rebel Lounge<br \/>Local band The Bollox, the Celtic-rock project featuring Authority Zero frontman Jason DeVore, knows how to raise a ruckus. This weekend, they celebrate the release of their new album, \u201cThe Art of Rebellion,\u201d a 10-song blast of rowdy hooks and fist-raising energy that leans hard into defiance, resistance and sing-along dissent that feels tailor-made for the current moment. The Dirty Harps and Gracklz open the evening.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tixr.com\/groups\/relentlessbeats\/events\/valentino-khan-160011\">Valentino Khan<br \/><\/a>Friday, Jan. 30, 9 p.m.<br \/>Sunbar<br \/>Known for his high-octane sets, DJ and producer Valentino Khan operates at the sweet spot between bass, house and festival-scale chaos. Since breaking out in the early 2010s, he\u2019s built a reputation on big drops and bigger attitude, bouncing between club cuts and epic bangers. Expect a kinetic, sweat-soaked night that turns Sunbar\u2019s dance floor into a throng of moving bodies.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/arizonabluegrass.com\/event-6186274\">ABA Bluegrass Roundup<br \/><\/a>Friday, Jan. 31, 11 a.m. to Sunday, Feb. 1, 9 a.m.<br \/>Apache Junction Rodeo Grounds<br \/>Temperatures are warming up this weekend, just in time for the Arizona Bluegrass Association\u2019s three-day hootenanny of performances, jam sessions and workshops. Nearly a dozen local and touring acts will pick \u2018n\u2019 holler throughout the weekend, including North Carolina ensemble Nu-Blu and Portland-born act Never Come Down. Arizona favorites like Cisco and the Racecars and Chandler\u2019s Jam Pak Blues \u2019N\u2019 Grass Neighborhood Band, a community group made up of school-age musicians, round out the lineup.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etix.com\/ticket\/p\/69346709\/the-gilmour-project-phoenix-celebrity-theatre\">The Gilmour Project<\/a><br \/>Saturday, Jan. 31, 7:30 p.m.<br \/>Celebrity Theatre<br \/>This show\u2019s for hardcore Pink Floyd fans. Built around the epic guitar work of the iconic David Gilmour, this five-piece tribute ensemble leans hard into atmosphere, musicianship and slow-burn precision. The lineup of keyboard player Scott Guberman, drummer Prairie Prince, bassist Berry Oakley and guitarists and vocalists Jeff Pevar and Mark Karan recreates Floyd\u2019s deep-cut classics and most expansive moments on stage.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769708111_44_super-bowl-music-fest-2023-tickets-fanduel-fest-tempe-tickets-the-killers.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"Three members of alt-rock band The Killers stand in the middle of the desert.\" class=\"wp-image-40099571\"  \/>The Killers headline the 2026 Concert in the Coliseum.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/wmphoenixopen.com\/concert-in-the-coliseum-tickets\/\">Concert in the Coliseum feat. The Killers<br \/><\/a>Saturday, Jan. 31, 6 p.m.<br \/>TPC Scottsdale<br \/>Given the WM Phoenix Open\u2019s party-hearty reputation and The Killers atop the bill, it\u2019s no shock that this year\u2019s Concert in the Coliseum is officially sold out. The Las Vegas hitmakers bring their arena-ready anthems and veteran swagger to the TPC\u2019s infamous 16th Hole, kicking off the annual tournament in high-energy fashion. Resale tickets start at $250 or more, but for those with the means, it\u2019s the hottest tee-time in town. Tyler Hubbard, formerly of Florida Georgia Line, opens.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theniletheater.com\/events\/ebk-young-joc\">EBK Young Joc<br \/><\/a>Saturday, Jan. 31, 7 p.m.<br \/>The Underground<br \/>EBK Young Joc is a rapper on the rise. The Northern California-born artist has been gaining traction in recent years with a steady run of gritty releases and a street-level perspective that\u2019s built a growing following beyond his home state. His live sets mirror those vibes, featuring his raw and unpolished flows with an emphasis on presence and realism.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mesaamp.com\/Online\/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&amp;BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=FD6F2C77-C594-4A28-8FC6-A36EFCEF6200\">INZO<\/a><br \/>Saturday, Jan. 31, 5 p.m.<br \/>Mesa Amphitheatre<br \/>Chicago-born DJ and producer INZO has the distinction of opening Mesa Amphitheatre\u2019s 2026 concert season. He\u2019ll fill the air at the iconic outdoor venue with his ethereal and cinematic blend of bass music, psychedelia and wide-open atmospheres. Opening sets by Dirt Monkey, No Good, OkayJake, and Blookah keep the energy building throughout the evening.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"656\" width=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/the-antlers-band-phoenix-tickets.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40640412\"  \/>Peter Silberman of The Antlers.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/wl.seetickets.us\/event\/the-antlers\/669299?afflky=TheRebelLounge\">The Antlers<br \/><\/a>Saturday, Jan. 31, 8 p.m.<br \/>The Rebel Lounge<br \/>Brooklyn-born indie rock mainstays The Antlers return to the Valley on the heels of their latest album, \u201cBlight,\u201d a stark, timely release shaped by unease and aftermath. The nine-track 2025 effort channels themes of catastrophe and global collapse through Peter Silberman\u2019s hushed vocals and slow-building tension, leaning into the band\u2019s signature mix of fragility, restraint and emotional weight.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/wl.eventim.us\/event\/psyclon-nine\/675253?afflky=13thFloorEntertainment\">Psyclon Nine<br \/><\/a>Sunday, Feb. 1, 6 p.m.<br \/>The Underground<br \/>Metal band Psyclon Nine doesn\u2019t pull any punches with their heavy-duty, industrial-infused assault. The long-running project has built an infamy on punishing beats and confrontational energy that looms on the darker edges of industrial metal. It\u2019s an intense, no-frills live experience designed to overwhelm, and it\u2019s best approached (and appreciated) head-on. Bring your earplugs to their Underground show on Sunday. Clockwork Echo and Our Frankenstein open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High-energy vibes await at this weekend&#8217;s best concerts in metro Phoenix.
