Cake and Ben Folds might take a little imagination. Some veteran tour pairings are no-brainers. –Samantha Lopezīlasts from the Past: “Machine Head” (Bush), “Glycerine” (Bush), “Lightning Crashes” (Live), and “I Alone” (Live)īuy: Tickets to upcoming Bush and Live shows here.
Live, freshly reunited, are commemorating their breakout sophomore album, Throwing Copper, which includes hits like “Lightning Crashes” and “I Alone”, while Bush revisit their debut, Sixteen Stone - ya know, the one your older sibling listened to on loop and the one you can still hear seeping in from the walls of the room next door with Gavin Rossdale encouraging, “Breathe in/ Breathe out.” These two bands in their heyday were quintessential to the whole “cool, but tough” disposition. This summer, two pioneering ‘90s alternative forces are going to combine powers to commemorate two decades of the straight-up “do-it-yourself” and non-conformist attitude that we’ve come to associate with the umbrella genre of “alternative music.” The co-headlining tour dubbed “The ALT-IMATE Tour” (see what they did there?) is going to celebrate the 25th anniversaries of each band’s respective landmark releases. It’s 2019, and, indeed, Backstreet’s back! –Regan Bexlerīlasts from the Past: “I Want It That Way”, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”, and “As Long as You Love Me”īuy: Tickets to upcoming Backstreet Boys shows here. The Boys are currently on the European leg of their DNA World Tour but will be back in early summer with tons of dates in both Canada and the States. Pretty faces, pretty ballads, and pretty dance moves will never go out of style, and boy do these boys have the hits to warrant a summer trek: “I Want It That Way”, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”, and “As Long as You Love Me”. Couple those smash classics with new tracks off this year’s DNA album, and you have one of the hottest Backstreet Boys tickets in years. And lest we ignore the obvious, these hunks didn’t exactly grow up to be pot-bellied slouches either. But Backstreet Boys are still the top-selling boy band of all time and the first group since Led Zeppelin to see their first 10 albums all reach the Top 10 on the charts. Okay, so they’re not exactly boys anymore. So, here are 10 ’90s bands totally worth checking out this summer. Naturally, we at Consequence of Sound will spend part of our concert experience this summer with the ’90s acts that we grew up with, and StubHub is the absolute best go-to for scoring tickets and turning back that summer clock.
Whether it’s a chance to see a band whose poster hung on your wall in college, an artist who dropped a single that became your song of the summer as a teen, or a member of a boy band you had a major crush on back in the day, there’s nothing better than seeing old friends take the stage for a night, play the music you love, and take you back to a time when life was simpler and music came first.
It’s definitely a season for creating memories however, with the number of high-quality acts from the ’90s still out on the road and doing what they do best, summer is also a time for fans to relive and reconnect with the past. As the summer months heat up, concertgoers will be traveling, bonding with friends and family, and belting out their favorite jams by their favorite artists long into the summer nights.
