New Orleans is a city filled with fun, laughter, and, above all, music. The city’s music culture is legendary. There’s something magical about hearing live music pouring out of every corner, from Frenchmen Street to the smallest neighborhood clubs. While New Orleans is best known for jazz, its music scene embraces everything from blues and funk to rock, hip hop, and indie. Going to concerts here isn’t just about the music; it’s about being part of a vibrant tradition and connecting with a community that truly celebrates sound. With concerts happening almost every day, there’s always a reason to get out and experience the city’s unique musical spirit. Here are a few upcoming concerts that are definitely going to attract a lot of attention:
Friday, October 2nd: Of Monsters And Men
The song “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men has been among their most famous for years and is sure to bring a crowd on October 2nd when the Icelandic indie folk-rock band plays at the Civic Theater here in New Orleans. The context of this song, a conversation between an elderly widow and her deceased husband, doesn’t match its catchy, upbeat music. Whenever this song comes on, it makes me want just to let go of my stress and dance through the melody. I am sure this concert will attract many students here at Tulane, not only for its famous tunes, but also for a fun time and some dancing.
Friday, October 9th: One Vision of Queen
The world-renowned Queen tribute band, One Vision of Queen, is coming to you live at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center on Friday, October 9th! I recently listened to the lead singer Marc Martel’s version of “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and I can confirm it does, in fact, sound like Queen. Though this band may attract some older New Orleanians, I am positive this will be an amazing concert for young and old alike. Marc Martel and One Vision of Queen will bring Queen’s classic sound to life here in New Orleans. I certainly can’t wait to hear “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” live!…
