Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
If you're a Hall & Oates fan, the songwriting duo will be making your dreams come true this September.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will play a concert at Ak-Chin Pavilion on September 14. Tickets go on sale Friday, February 12, at 10 a.m. at www.livenation.com.
It's shaping up to be a high-energy concert. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue are slated to open, which means this concert might be one of the most danceable rock shows to come to town all year. Rich girls, man eaters — everyone should have a good time.
Hall & Oates don't have the most sterling reputation among so-called "serious" music fans, and that's a damn shame. First off, look at this video of confirmed cool guys Fred Armisen and Bill Hader cutting a promo for the tour. Then, watch this video of Daryl Hall and Cee Lo Green doing an amazingly tight and funky performance of "I Can't Go For That," live from Hall's garage.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
