Arts and music are two of an increasingly few things these days that give us precious moments of respite, belonging and joy in otherwise very bleak times. We\u2019ve cobbled together a wishlist of spring concerts for you, large and small, that will fill your heart\u00a0(and ears) between now and June.<\/p>\n

Thursday, March 19: John Legend<\/p>\n

R&B hitmaker and EGOT-holder John Legend has a lot of hits under his songwriting belt and surely a lot of attendant stories attached to them, and at this Dr. Phillips Center engagement he\u2019ll be dealing in both. This touring run sees the singer and Voice coach stripping it down, playing solo with only a piano and a microphone \u2014 an alluring proposition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Walt Disney Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $105-$323.<\/p>\n

Swedish dance-pop purveyor Zara Larsson brings her Midnight Sun tour to Orlando, and fittingly for the high drama of her songs, the show is divided into four acts, theater-style. Fans should expect to hear plenty of songs from her latest and Grammy-nominated album Midnight Sun, but fear not, 2010s hits like \u201cSymphony\u201d and \u201cLush Life\u201d will get their moment. This Orlando show is among the last on her U.S. run, so expect a well-oiled hit machine hitting the stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, orlando.houseofblues.com, $133-$464.<\/p>\n

Thursday, April 9: Redd Kross<\/p>\n

Not content to just be the subject of a (very good) documentary, Born Innocent, the McDonald brothers have configured their seminal bratty glam-punk outfit Redd Kross for a big tour. It\u2019s been awhile since they\u2019ve played these parts, but the Kross will be making an emergency landing at Will\u2019s Pub, which will be positively heaving from anthems like \u201cAnnie\u2019s Gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

7 p.m., Will\u2019s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $25.<\/p>\n

Monday, April 13: Demi Lovato<\/p>\n

Orlando is now the first date on Demi Lovato\u2019s hotly anticipated It\u2019s Not That Deep tour, though this distinction is more due to the pop star pushing back several dates on her tour for health reasons than for the City Beautiful\u2019s prestige as a hot spot for pop. In any case, without going too \u201cdeep\u201d into logistics, a Lovato show promises nine albums\u2019 worth of hits to draw from and top-shelf production values. So get ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $52-$338.<\/p>\n

Sunday, April 12: Allie X<\/p>\n

Pop magus Allie X thrives on the unexpected, and kicking off a tour in Florida (Tampa, to be precise) definitely fits that bill. The tour is promoting X\u2019s newest album, Happiness Is Going to Get You, an album where darkness is offset by \u201can undeniable and stubborn ray of light\u201d (something we could all use right now). This album is more orchestral and baroque, a definite step forward for an always-challenging artist. This show will be heady and invigorating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

7 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $24.50-$100.<\/p>\n

Thursday, April 16: Indigo De Souza<\/p>\n

The all-too-aptly-named Precipice (for we are on one of many) Tour brings Indigo De Souza to Orlando\u2019s Social this spring. The fiery North Carolina singer-songwriter\u2019s latest album, Precipice, heads for more synth-poppy altitudes, urged even higher by De Souza\u2019s powerhouse vocal range. Is this her \u201cpop breakthrough\u201d moment? We encourage you to see for yourselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

7 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $29-$84.<\/p>\n

Friday, April 24: Maren Morris<\/p>\n

Rule-breaking country star Maren Morris has extended her Dreamsicle tour with a new clutch of U.S. dates \u2014 including a show here in Orlando. This is a country singer who is not just out there whining about kissi \u2026 er, catching fish and driving trucks. She\u2019s speaking out against Trump, coming out as bisexual and raising funds for families left in the lurch by SNAP cuts. And she\u2019s got the goddamn songs to match. Newest album D R E A M S I C L E is her most personal and undeniable work yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6:30 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, orlando.houseofblues.com, $60-$180.<\/p>\n

Monday, April 27: PinkPantheress<\/p>\n

Brit singer and producer PinkPantheress brings her very in-demand \u201cAn Evening With\u201d tour to the states this spring, up to and including two Florida shows. The young pop architect has had quite the year, winning a Brit Award
for Best Producer (first woman and youngest artist to nab said honor) and having \u201cIllegal\u201d remixed by electronic rulebreaker Four Tet. Hear and see for yourself just what\u2019s this all about, then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, SOLD OUT.<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 3: David Lee Roth<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s a bit of a \u201cbuyer beware\u201d situation when you go to a David Lee Roth concert of late, but the rewards still well outweigh the risks of a patchy vocal performance. (See also: Dylan, Bob.) So maybe he can\u2019t quite carry the notes like he used to! Roth\u2019s the only game in town to hear early Van Halen gems, and his showmanship is still a thing of 100 percent commitment. (Though no scissors kicks are on the menu; them leather pants are tight.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $85-$235.<\/p>\n

Sunday, May 3: Mortiis<\/p>\n

Speaking of an unerring commitment to showmanship \u2014 but of a decidedly more fell variety \u2014 dungeon-synth originator Mortiis comes to Conduit with eclectic black metallers Uada this spring. The pointy-eared and -nosed synth maestro helped define Norwegian black metal with Emperor but soon decamped to his own personal Mordor, beginning a decades-long quest to weave fantastical and mythical soundworlds out of rudimentary keyboards and synths. Mortiis has over the last years celebrated and revisited that material with particular fervor, and the results are arcane live summonings that never fail to delight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $33.16.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, May 5: Ashnikko<\/p>\n

Future-forward pop maestro Ashnikko wants you to visit Smoochies World this spring. The \u201cpop disruptor\u201d released second album Smoochies last fall, an adventurous work that is as catchy and personal and playful as it is, in the artist\u2019s words, \u201cgrotesque and absurd.\u201d All of those qualities carry over to this tour, which is surrealistic and splashy and interactive all at once. There are no borders in Smoochies World.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, SOLD OUT.<\/p>\n

Thursday-Sunday, May 7-10: Welcome to Rockville<\/p>\n

Hard-rock fest Welcome to Rockville will be back in Daytona with a lineup featuring over 160 bands spread over four days. Rockville is confirmed to rock out for a 15th year in Daytona, and the lineup is full-spectrum heaviness including Guns N\u2019 Roses, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, Turnstile, The Offspring, Parkway Drive, Bring Me the Horizon, Breaking Benjamin, Motionless in White, Lamb of God, A Day to Remember, Rise Against and Yellowcard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daytona International Speedway, 1801 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach, welcometorockville.com, $175-$865.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Friday-Sunday, May 8-10: Rolling Loud Festival<\/p>\n

Rolling Loud makes its Orlando debut this spring with headliners Playboi Carti, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Don Toliver and more than 75 artists total. The popular hip-hop festival comes to Orlando\u2019s Camping World Stadium in May, and the three-day fest will be Rolling Loud\u2019s only U.S. stop of the year \u2014 and its first time ever in the City Beautiful. Additional big-name performers include Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, Destroy Lonely, BossMan Dlow, OsamaSon and PlaqueBoyMax.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, 2026.rollingloud.com, $249-$799.<\/p>\n

Saturday, May 21: WJRR Earthday Birthday<\/p>\n

Orlando rock radio institution WJRR\u2019s big ol\u2019 heavy music shindig is back for another year. Taking over the fairgrounds, the daylong festival features the likes of Three Days Grace, I Prevail, Mammoth, Sleep Theory and The Funeral Portrait. This Birthday party also features wrestling (!), karaoke and a BMX stunt show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

11 a.m., Orlando Amphitheater, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, orlandoamphitheater.com, $90-$292.<\/p>\n

Thursday, May 28: Death Angel\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, OG West Coast thrashers Death Angel seemed poised for a breakthrough into the mainstream alongside comrades like Metallica and Megadeth with their eclectic and progressive 1990 album Act III on Geffen. Sadly, it didn\u2019t happen, and the band went into an extended hiatus. This year the reconfigured group are taking a long overdue victory lap for that still-impressive record, straight to Orlando.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6 p.m., The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando.com, $35.73-$230.19.<\/p>\n

Friday, May 29: Weird Al Yankovic<\/p>\n

Welcome to the resistance, Mr. Yankovic. The usually genial \u2014 if slightly bemused \u2014 Weird Al Yankovic turned heads last year with his mask-off, impassioned cover of Rage Against the Machine\u2019s \u201cKilling in the Name Of\u201d with Portugal. the Man, and we are really hoping that energy carries over to this 2026 leg of his Bigger & Weirder tour (or at the very least adds some vitriol to \u201cDare to Be Stupid\u201d). It kicks off in Florida and you\u2019re guaranteed to hear all the hits and see all the costumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $30.50-$175.<\/p>\n
