Dallas/Fort Worth Area - DFW!

Renee Bagley
Looking for something fun to do to spice up your summer of 2010? Look no further, I have all the hottest acts listed right here. I've gathered the best upcoming concerts, in various genres (rock, alternative, country, pop, blues music), for Dallas, Texas and the surrounding areas.

Check out the hottest tours and 2010's must see shows for the Dallas/Fort Worth area!

July

7 - Hole, yes, Courtney Love is back, and supposedly better than ever. You can see her at the House of Blues, in Dallas, Texas at 7:30pm.

August

3 - Aerosmith with Blue October, at 7:30pm at Superpages. If you catch the tour in other states you might get to get Aerosmith with Sammy Hagar & The Wabos. Trust me Aerosmith is worth seeing regardless of when or where. We have seen them live at Superpages three times. (Superpages was formerly called Smirnoff Music Center and the Coca-Cola Starplex). We have seen them when it rained and when we wish it would rain, and Aerosmith never ceases to amaze me. Unlike many bands, they are always better live they even sounds on radio. Steven Tyler makes the show worth it every time. As do the other guys in the band Brad Whitford, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton, and Joe Perry.

3 - Melissa Etheridge will be at the McFarlin Auditorium at 8pm.

7 - Brad Paisley H20 World Tour, with Darius Rucker and Justin Moore, 4pm at Superpages.

    I might have to visit Texas soon. No really, I haven't been to a concert since Peter Frampton at our local fair. Thanks for the look at these awesome performers, and thanks for the nice comments.
