The Snow Ball Music Festival cemented the lineup for its late-winter jamboree in the Vail Valley this week, announcing psych-rock faves the Flaming Lips, Colorado electronic artist Pretty Lights and San Francisco DJ Bassnectar as headliners for the March 4-6 event. Aimed equally at the electro and indie music crowds, the festival also includes Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Baths, Lotus, Diplo, Clasixx, EOTO and buzz bands Twin Shadow and Local Natives, plus locals Gauntlet Hair, Candy Claws, Air Dubai and more. One-day tickets are sold out, but three-day passes are still available for $164.50 at .
George Strait and Reba McEntire were two of the most successful country artists to come out of the 1980s — and two of the most successful of all time in the genre — so it’s no surprise they’re co-headlining the Pepsi Center April 1 with Lee Ann Womack. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 4. ($39.50-$89.50, TicketHorse)
Dispatch clearly underestimated the power of nostalgia. Fan pre-sales went so quickly that the reunited Vermont jam band added seven more dates to its national tour — including June 3 and June 5 concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in addition to a previously announced June 4 show there. Passes for all shows are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($40, Ticketmaster)
Jeff Beck, the influential, at times brilliant British guitarist, has never gotten the same notice as contemporaries Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton — even though Beck was as active and vital in his heyday as those artists. He visits the Paramount Theatre on April 15 with the Imelda May Band. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($44.50-$79.50, TicketHorse)
Katy Perry’s July 26 show with Robyn at Broomfield’s 1stBank Center will most certainly sell out, so fans should be ready when tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($39-$49, TicketHorse)
The Pink Floyd Experience continues to satisfy the seemingly bottomless hunger to experience the British psych-rockers’ music covered in a live setting. Tickets for the band’s March 24 Boulder Theater show are on sale. ($30-$35, )
Henry Rollins at the Soiled Dove? Believe it. The former Black Flag singer and spoken-word mainstay will visit the venue — better known for its smooth-jazz and singer-songwriter offerings — on April 3. Tickets are on sale at 7 p.m. today. ($25-$35, )
EOTO holds a special place among jam-band fans, as the act eschews guitar solos for frantic turntable and sequencer manipulation — even though none of its music is prerecorded. The duo of Michael Travis and Jason Hann will visit the Ogden Theatre on April 2, with tickets on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($25, Ticketmaster)
