Concert Schedule for this Weekend

By Benjamin Leatherman

Teenybopper pop-rock faves the Jonas Brothers are scheduled to perform tonight at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion.

There’s a pretty substantial slate of live music going down this weekend at venues throughout the PHX. Nearly every major genre is represented, from rock and hip-hop to jazz and Latin.

We’ve pulled together a compilation of all the concerts scheduled to occur over the next 72 hours from Friday to Sunday, for all those who’ve been living under a rock (or just in case you need a reminder on the details before heading out to the show).
