Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
This weekend is looking pretty packed. In addition to the New Times Best of Phoenix A’Fare, there’s a ton happening around the Valley, including shows from Tim Minchin, the Red Light Disco party, Avenged Sevenfold, New Found Glory, Star Slinger, Wayne Static, and more.
Oh, and that giant music festival out at Apache Lake.
Each Friday we bring you our picks for the best concerts that may have slipped under your radar, five picks that will make sure you’re busy checking out live music in Phoenix.
Read on for our five picks and a video from each artist.

Desert Dementia features Page the Village Idiot, Leslie Fish, Tom Tuerff, and Justin Reed paying tribute to the music of Dr. Demento at The Trunk Space.

Liam Finn brings his pleasant sounds and pleasant beard to The Crescent Ballroom.
