Childish Gambino, T-Mobile Center
On his final tour, in support of his final album, Childish Gambino will make an appearance at T-Mobile Center on Monday, Aug. 12. After releasing Atavista—declared as the last project of the artists’ wide discovery—on May 13, 2024, Childish Gambino is now set to throw in the towel, once he has completed his New World tour, covering plenty of big cities around the nation, and hitting a few international stops as well. The highly-acclaimed musician has left over a decade’s worth of beautiful stains on the music industry, with hits such as “Redbone,” “3005,” and “Feels Like Summer.” Now, on what seems to be the final leg of his music career, Childish Gambino will surely give Kansas Citians long-lasting memories to carry with them as they bid the artist farewell.

Dogstar w/ Sons of Silver, Uptown Theater
Your favorite action film start is back. This time, not for the big screen, but rather for the big stage. Keanu Reeves and his band Dogstar are making their way to Kansas City on Wednesday, Aug. 28 at Uptown Theater, with Sons of Silver opening. The alternative rock band from SoCal are on their Summer Vacation Tour, ready to bring down the roof for the loyal Kansas Citians who have awaited their arrival. After gatekeeping any new music for over 20 years, the band dropped their album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. While Reeves’ claim to fame is through starring in the John Wick series, he seems to strum the strings of the bass pretty damn well, too. Those looking to jam out with the trio can find tickets at http://uptowntheater.com/calendar/
