Paul Simon doesn’t tour often, but the legendary singer-songwriter — best known as half of folk duo Simon & Garfunkel — just announced a fall tour that will bring him to Colorado next month. Simon will play the 1stBank Center in Broomfield on Oct. 26, supporting the new record “So Beautiful or So What,” his first since 2006. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. today. The Secret Sisters will open. ($45-$85, )
Ministry is one of the few acts still carrying the industrial torch. And it’s giving its fans plenty of time to prepare for its next trip to the Ogden Theatre on June 17 of next year. For those of you who need more than nine months to plan a night out at a rock show, we have a few other ideas. (Check our live music calendar at .) Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($69.69, )
Rise Against calls Colorado its second home. Drummer Brandon Barnes grew up near Conifer and still lives in Morrison, and the band has also recorded most of its records at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins. So it makes sense that the group is headlining a big radio show, KTCL’s Not-So-Silent Night, at the 1stBank Center on Dec. 6. Also on the bill is another band with a local tie: Flogging Molly, whose bassman Nathen Maxwell has lived in Denver for quite a while now. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($36.25, )
The B-52s are more than just an ’80s novelty kitsch act. With 2008’s “The Funplex,” the “Love Shack” gang proved that they still have some party anthems in them. The band will play an intimate club show Dec. 11 at the Ogden Theatre. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($37.50, )
Amos Lee will play a special show at the Buell Theatre on Dec. 9 — with guest Brett Dennen. Both artists are on the rise at Triple-A radio (think KBCO), and the Buell will be an ideal spot to catch them. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. ($30.50-$51, )
