Whether or not you believe The Hold Steady is the greatest bar band in the world, expect to see a spectacle when the Minneapolis four-piece comes to town—the kind of no-nonsense spectacle that can make you cheer and celebrate life, and not in a flimsy, superficial way.

Athens, Georgia trio The Whigs support with songs from their three albums, including this year’s Into the Dark.
