Hey, now! Since we’re a month away from another summer concert season, I’m going to put on my strutting-down the East Village shades and say that we’re making it to the hottest show season of the year! I hope to see you sipping on mojitos and attending gigs well into early September!

In the meantime, I listed lots of new shows for you this week like I always do. I got ya’ll, always. I know you’re going to l-u-v-e checking out some of those best shows below, but we know the biggest takeaway from this week’s concert calendar is that Blind Guardian’s return to New York (holy fuck! YEEEEEEES!) is gonna be gnarly as they’re about to take over Gotham City in a mere matter of days. Thanks for your on-going support of Metal Insider. Please do me and the other writers a huge favor and make this summer a dismember.

Mojitos,
-Ian
