Bishop Briggs

BTS member j-hope debuted as a solo artist back in 2022. Now, heā€™s finally embarking on his first-ever solo tour. The ā€œHope on the Stageā€ tour sees the rapper/singer performing songs from his 2022 album along with BTS favorites. j-hope brings the tour to Rosemontā€™s Allstate Arena for two nights on March 17th and March 18th. Tickets are going fast for this one, so get them here.

Experimental visual artist Poppy is unpredictable, and thatā€™s how she likes it. Thanks to her genre-blurring style, you never know where sheā€™s going next. Though sheā€™s popular in the rock and metal scene, her music has covered a wide range of genres, including synth-pop, hard rock, trip-hop, art pop, dance, nu-metal, and industrial. She brings her eclectic style to the House of Blues on Friday, March 21st, at 7 PM. Find tickets here. If you canā€™t make the show, you can get access to a livestream here.

Indie English transplant with a captivating andĀ powerful voice, BishopĀ Briggs made her mark with the infectious single ā€œRiver,ā€ which hit nearly a decade ago. Briggs continues to make enticing music (while being streamed over 3 million times). Her latest album,Ā Tell My Therapist Iā€™m Fine, released last week in a deluxe edition, showcases a maturing artist following the death of her sister and the birth of her son. She appears on Saturday, March 22, at Metro Chicago. Tickets are available here.

Thereā€™s no one quite like Iggy Pop. He laid the groundwork for confrontational performances that included self-mutilation, violence, and, in one instance, peanut butter. Known as the Godfather of Punk, his illustrious career has encompassed various styles, including garage rock, new wave, grunge, jazz, blues, metal, and electronic. The living legend will perform a sold-out show at Salt Shed with Verbƶten this Monday, March 24th, at 7 PM.
