Best Indie & Rock This Month

in Fort Wayne

October 2024

Todd Rundgren at Clyde Theatre

Todd Rundgren

Rock 'n' roll icon, guitarist, interactive progenitor, singer/songwriter, and record producer Todd Rundgren comes to town in 2024. Years of experience and critical acclaim have by no means made Rundgren complacent, and he continues to push the boundaries in inventive and surprising ways. Don't miss your chance to see him as he heads on the 'Me/We' tour!

The Front Bottoms at Clyde Theatre

The Front Bottoms

New Jersey emo-folk band The Front Bottoms take their 'Finding Your Way Home' tour on the road. Still riding the success of their 2023 album 'You Are Who You Hang Out With', expect to hear new Front Bottoms tracks alongside their certified emo classics 'Twin Size Mattress', 'Be Nice To Me', and 'Flashlight'.

Rival Sons at Sweetwater Pavilion

Rival Sons

Long Beach, California's very own Rival Sons and Maryland rock quartet Clutch are teaming up for a brand new co-headlining tour, 'The Two-Headed Beast'! Both bands continue to prove that the spirit of rock 'n' roll is still very much alive and kicking with every raucous note, flaming guitar lick, and high-octane show. Wear comfy shoes and get ready to mosh until you drop!

Leonid and Friends at Clyde Theatre

Leonid and Friends

Hitting the road in North America this year is Leonid and Friends, the YouTube sensation tribute band to Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and others, from Eastern Europe! Despite never having seen Chicago live (they never toured to band leader Leonid Vorobyev's home country of Russia), the group became a global hit for their stunning recreation of the music of the legendary American soft-rockers.

The Used at Clyde Theatre

The Used

It's hard to believe it's been nearly two decades since The Used first burst out of Utah with a burning desire to upset the status quo of their uptight home state. This they achieved and more; the band led a generation of kids not content with the radio-friendly pop of the early 2000s and their burning screamo anthems still hold sway today.

Sleeping With Sirens at Piere's

Sleeping With Sirens

Bursting out of Florida in 2009, the post-hardcore quintet Sleeping With Sirens were armed with raucous punk energy that grabbed audiences and shook them by the lapels. With each subsequent release, the outfit has developed a heightened sense of melody, crafting pop hook-laden anthems that have never lost the raw edge of the band's early days. Join them this autumn as they embark on a brand new tour to celebrate their second album 'Let's Cheers To This'!

Coal Chamber at Piere's

Coal Chamber

Nu Metal is back and better than ever with fan favorites Coal Chamber reuniting once more. The self-proclaimed spooky-core band are heading out on the Fiend for the Fans tour and are bringing metal legends Fear Factory along for the ride. Expect to hear your favorite classics including Loco, I. O. U. Nothing, and more!
