There are lots of new concert announcements this week as bands and artists continue rounding out their schedules. We've got a slew of singer-songwriters, a country mega-act and a couple of interesting revivals planning visits.
- Soul artist India.Arie is hitting the road this year in support of her upcoming album, Worthy. It's her first album in five years, so anticipation and excitement for this venture will be high. Locally, she'll play at The Theatre at Grand Prairie on May 19. Tickets are on sale Feb. 8 at axs.com.
- Legendary soul singer Al Green is hitting the road for the first time in over seven years. Scheduled around his appearance at this spring's New Orleans Jazz Fest, Green is only visiting a couple of cities, one of which happens to be Irving, where The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory will play host on April 26. Tickets are on sale Feb. 8 at livenation.com.
- King Grizzard and the Lizard Wizard are traveling back this way from their native Australia to bring their psychedelic rock to the masses.

Tickets are on sale Feb. 8 at ticketfly.com.
- Singer-songwriter Joe Jackson has been going strong for quite a while now pumping out jangly memorable hit singles.
