Why these made the list
Postmodern Jukebox brings The Future Is Vintage World Tour to Riverhead. Today’s hits, reworked as glammed-up vintage jazz, with singers, dancers and a full band. A perfect date night.
Toad the Wet Sprocket plays Patchogue on Rings: The Acoustic Tour, with special guest Willy Porter. Stripped down, up close, and a 40th anniversary vibe for a band that formed in 1986.
KATSEYE books two nights in Elmont. If you’ve got a pop fan at home, you already know.
We Can Survive lands at UBS Arena with a lineup that mixes country, pop and dance. Bebe Rexha alone is worth the trip for anyone who loves a big chorus on the dance floor.
A Boogie wit da Hoodie closes the month with two nights celebrating 10 years of “Artist,” with DaBaby, Moneybagg Yo and Zeddy Will.
A Long Island story
From a historic theater on Main Street in Riverhead to the arena at Belmont Park, this lineup covers the whole Island. You don’t have to cross a bridge for a great night out.
Check each venue’s site before you go for the latest times and tickets. Keep it locked to WLIT.FM for more weekend picks.
