With the workweek winding down, Phoenix is ushering in a hot slate of entertainment, from concerts to theater and even a lineup of sporting events. The Valley's offerings for June 16-22 are nothing short of eclectic, promising something for everyone.
This Saturday, the "Sunflower" rapper, Post Malone, turns genre-defying acts into hard tickets to score as he hits the stage at State Farm Stadium. As Phoenix Magazine notes, his latest album "F-1 Trillion" has pushed boundaries once again, propelling him from a rap sensation to a country music innovator. For those wanting to engage in his now Grammy-nominated sound, the show kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with tickets available online.
The beats don't stop there, though. David Spade is returning to his hometown with a fresh comedic set at the Celebrity Theatre on Friday. Expect a blend of star power and off-cuff humor that made him a household name through "Saturday Night Live" and countless movies. As ABC 15 reported, doors open at 6 p.m. for an 8 p.m. performance.
Meanwhile, book-adapting theatrical performances are taking center stage as well. ASU Gammage is hosting the visually arresting adaptation of "Life of Pi" until Sunday. This show promises to be a moving and imaginative retelling of Yann Martel’s bestseller, marrying puppetry and set design to conjure up the epic survival tale of a boy and a Bengal tiger.
As the weekend closes, Shakira fans are in for an electrifying time as the global pop icon brings her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour" to the Footprint Center. According to details from Phoenix Magazine, after seven years away from the touring circuit, Shakira takes the stage on Sunday and Monday, with ticket prices varying.
Sports aficionados aren't left out in the heat, either. The Arizona Diamondbacks will be up to bat against the Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants in a series spanning from June 27-30. Additionally, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury will go head-to-head with the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces on those respective dates, promising a thrilling show of athletic prowess. For times and ticket prices, check the respective team websites for up-to-date information.
