In other news, two big-ticket tours make their way onto the American Airlines Center calendar. Two soulful crooners reunite for a collaborative tour. A spry, funky legend sets up shop at the Bomb Factory. And a couple of rising names take over some of their biggest stages yet. It's another round of weekly concert announcements.
- The Luck Reunion takes place each March at Willie Nelson's ranch in Luck, Texas. It's been a wildly successful affair; more than 30 Americana, country and bluegrass artists perform throughout the weekend for a select audience capped at 2,500 guests. The folks behind the event are taking the spirit on the road with a series of exclusive shows around the country. On June 9, it will swing by the Granada Theater for what should be an entertaining night of tunes. The catch is that the lineup will not be announced until a few days before the show. Tickets for this "mystery night" of performers cost $28 and are on sale at granadatheater.com.
- Hot off the presses is a Sept. 28 appearance by Arcade Fire at American Airlines Center.
