Spafford in Tempe, United States 2026

Spafford is a jam band active since 2008 that blends rock, funk, jazz, reggae, ska and electro-pop. The tour has 20 dates across the United States, from November 2026 to April 2027, in 12 cities including Knoxville, Charlotte, Greenville and Boca Raton. Our view is that now is a good time to catch them, with Cat Shop out in 2026 and Live, Vol. 5 from 2025 showing that the live show is the core of what they do. This tour suits anyone who likes improvisation and smaller rooms. It opens at Barley's Taproom in Knoxville, and other stops include The Radio Room and Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. When buying, check the venue type and the city, because the format changes a lot between a brewery and a theater.

Marquee Theatre is a Tempe, Arizona venue on the north side of Tempe Town Lake, close to the Mill Avenue Bridge, in the busiest entertainment district in the city. What makes it worth a visit is the calendar: 18 upcoming dates between October 2026 and May 2027, heavy on rock, punk and metal. October 2026 brings Militarie Gun, Reverend Horton Heat, Saosin, Silent Planet and AFI. It suits people who would rather see guitar bands in a theater than in a stadium. When buying, check the date carefully, since Reverend Horton Heat shows up under two listings on October 19, and confirm the final price on the official box office before you pay.
