The Linda Linda Credit: Jaxon Whittington
Tampa Bay’s live music weekend kicks off tonight with the Rock & Roll Circus happening in Ybor City, and it rolls hard over the next seven days, with homegrown talent carrying the load from Indie Night, to Rott Fest, Dfaz’s rap house, Rap-toberfest, and the Heightened Senses concert happening to close out the Music Week.
The Linda Lindas, Alice Cooper, and Jacuzzi Boys are among the national and regional acts swinging through, too.
