Lady Antebellum’s “Own the Night” tour is just a few weeks away from playing Colorado Springs’ World Arena on Dec. 1, and now the pop-country superstars announced a Front Range stop a few months later in the tour. The Nashville group will hit the Pepsi Center on Feb. 15, with former Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker and Thompson Square. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($25-$79.50, TicketHorse)
STS9 should consider snagging a condo somewhere along the Front Range, given the regularity with which the Atlanta-bred jamtronica act plows through one of its most fertile markets. Tickets for STS9’s Jan. 13-14 shows at the Fillmore Auditorium, as part of its “Great Cycle Spectacles,” tour, are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($27.50-$30, or $50 two-day passes; )
Radiohead’s most recent Colorado shows — in 2001 and 2003 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre — are the stuff of legend, but we’ll welcome a set from Thom Yorke and the boys at any old venue in our state. That makes the British group’s March 13 concert at Broomfield’s 1stBank Center, with opener Other Lives, a potentially less epic (if equally enjoyable) event. A pre-sale began Wednesday, with general on-sales at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($69, TicketHorse)
The Descendents are one of the most distinctive and influential bands to spring from the late-’70s American punk scene, though the group really gained traction after they began releasing a string of near-perfect records on Greg Ginn’s SST label in the early ’80s. Tickets for the band’s Jan. 28 show at the Fillmore, with Hot Water Music and Endless Monster, are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($26-$30, )
Il Divo’s pop-opera vocal concerts have become global sensations, which should come as no surprise considering that the “classical crossover quartet’s” (read: fancy boy-band’s) daddy is “American Idol” and “X-Factor” honcho Simon Cowell. The group closes out its North American tour at the Wells Fargo Theatre Aug. 19; tickets on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 18. ($51.50-$127, Ticketmaster)
