Plan Your Week of Triangle Entertainment

This week’s Triangle entertainment schedule offers everything from arena-ready R&B and Latin music to rock, blues, indie shows, orchestral performances, and stand-up comedy.

Friday and Saturday contain the largest concentration of events, so concertgoers should account for downtown traffic, parking, venue entry procedures, and overlapping showtimes when making plans. Tickets for major performers and smaller-capacity venues may sell quickly.

Artists, times, venues, ticket availability, and entry requirements are subject to change. Confirm all details with the official venue or ticket provider before purchasing tickets or traveling to an event.
