Top concerts playing Phoenix in February: Justin Bieber, Tyler, the Creator, Mitski

Justin Bieber returns to metro Phoenix for the first time since 2016 in a month that also features big arena tours by last year's most acclaimed recording artist Tyler, the Creator and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.

The Coors Light Birds Nest Concert Series returns to the Waste Management Phoenix Open, where the party kicks off earlier than ever with a concert on the 16th hole with Thomas Rhett and Old Dominion.

And Innings Festival returns to Tempe Beach Park with Foo Fighters and Tame Impala headlining.

Here's a look at those and other February concert highlights for the Valley.

Falling in Reverse

Ronnie Radke had plenty of time to sort through the emotions expressed with conviction and rage on "The Drug in Me Is You," his first release with Falling in Reverse, serving two years in prison while his former bandmates in Escape the Fate moved on without him. Eleven years later, Falling in Reverse return to Phoenix on the Live From The Unknown Tour with support from kindred spirits Wage War, Hawthorne Heights and Jeris Johnson. They recently returned to No. 1 on Billboard's Hard Rock charts with "Zombified," the first single released from a forthcoming EP called "Neon Zombie."

Dream Theater

It's been almost two years since a global pandemic brought their tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory" to a premature conclusion. Mesa is their first show back and promises the live debut of several highlights from "A View from the Top of the World," the album they wrote and recorded in the downtime COVID-19 handed them. Singer James LaBrie says, "We're getting back to 'Let's do a cool mix of who and what we are over the many years we've been together."

Faye Webster

The acclaimed singer-songwriter made the rounds of year-end critics lists — and deservedly so — for last year's masterful "I Know I'm Funny Ha Ha." Among the publications naming Webster to their Best of 2021 list were NPR, Pitchfork, Consequence, Uproxx, Genius, Paste and the New Yorker, which wrote that the album "astounds with its aloofness and candid observations" while "the music sweeps you up into her spiral of overthinking."

Complex named it Album of the Year, the rapper's second album in three years to top their list. "Tyler is already in rarified air at this point," they wrote. "And albums like 'Call Me If You Get Lost' prove he’s a generational artist who just keeps getting better with time."

Details: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8. Footprint Center (formerly Phoenix Suns Arena), 201 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix. Sold out; resale ticket prices fluctuate. 602-379-7800, ticketmaster.com.

The Drive-By Truckers

The Truckers represent a righteous throwback to the days when rock 'n' rollers could be counted on to fight the power, responding to a world gone mad with two albums of urgent political broadsides, "The Unraveling" and "The New OK," in 2020. There's a "ripped from the headlines" appeal to the most impassioned of those album, whether taking on the politics of white resentment or mocking those who offer hollow "Thoughts and Prayers" instead of practical solutions to the never-ending supply of mass shootings. That they rock with such conviction only makes them that much harder to ignore.

Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 10. The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix. $27-$37. 866-468-3399, thevanburenphx.com.

Johnny Mathis

There's a reason Columbia Records decided to go with "The Voice of Romance" as a title for the 68-disc box set it released a few years back of every album Johnny Mathis had recorded for the label. Few artists have done more for candlelit nights than the voice of such starry-eyed classics as "Wonderful! Wonderful!," "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," "The Twelfth of Never," "No Love (But Your Love)" and "Wild is the Wind." And those are just the hits he managed to release in an amazing first year on the charts.

Amine

Complex hailed his latest mixtape, "TwoPointFive" as "a fun and experimental display of the Portland rapper’s most appealing skills" in naming the collection one of last year's 50 best releases. Amine himself has referred to the "PointFive" mixtapes as "the breaks in between albums where I give myself the freedom to make music without expectations, focusing instead of spontaneity and the best of what comes from stream of conscious creation, which is why they arrive unexpectedly without a long rollout." His last "serious" album, 2020's "Limbo," was his first Top 20 entry on the Billboard album charts.

Reggae," which peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's Reggae Albums chart.

The Wonder Years

Dan Campbell has the perfect voice to underscore the urgency and passion of the songs that make up “Sister Cities,” the Philly emo veterans’ latest effort. You can hear how much he’s feeling every word. Under the Radar says, “Even without probing that deeply it's clear that this is a phenomenal album that not only transcends genres but which also only feels like the next phase of a career already 13 years short that has a long and exciting future ahead.”

Details: 6 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 13. The Nile, 105 W. Main St., Mesa. $29.50. 480-559-5859, eventbrite.com.

Caribou

The Canadian dancefloor veteran returns to Phoenix for what would appear to be his first Valley appearance since 2010. His latest album, "Suddenly," was hailed as one of 2020's greatest electronic albums, making year-end lists at Under the Radar and Stereogum, which praised it as one of his warmest releases, "a deeply personal work that resonates that much more thanks to its openness."

Details: 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14. The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix. $26. 866-468-3399, thevanburenphx.com.

AFI

The California punk veterans arrive in support of last year's "Bodies," an album that effortlessly blurs the lines between '80s New Wave revivalist synth-pop and spirited Warped Tour-compatible pop-punk urgency. DIY magazine wrote that "in fully embracing theatrics, their new wave leanings, and the unquestionable punk legacy, the band have landed on a sound both contemporary and unmistakably theirs."

Details: 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $29.50 and up. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.

Lil Xan

Fueled in part by the single "Betrayed," this 25-year-old whose name is short for Lil Xanax, hit the Billboard album charts at No. 10 with "Total Xanarchy," his debut album. HipHopDX wrote, "Equipped with drowsy articulation tinged with a melodic pinch of raspiness, Xan is far from an astute lyricist but isn’t actually a slouch on the mic in terms of flow and rhyme schemes."

Details: 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14. The Nile, 105 W. Main St., Mesa. $28-$75. 480-559-5859, eventbrite.com.

Hiss Golden Messenger

They earned a Best Americana Grammy nomination for 2019's "Terms of Surrender" but nearly everything they've done at least as far back as 2010's "Bad Debt" would've been a more than worthy candidate for such an honor. Last year's "Quietly Blowing It" is yet another fine addition to the catalog. The Line Of Best Fit said the album is great the way Paul McCartney first solo records are great or Tom Petty’s "Wildflowers" are great – "just pure, no (expletive) emotional sincerity made for folks who need to feel a little connection to the wider world, to a greater consciousness."

Details: 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $23. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators

It’s been a decade since the guitarist who rose to fame as the Guns N' Roses member most likely to wear a top hat and Alter Bridge singer-guitarist launched the Conspirators with a debut album called "Apocalyptic Love." Three albums later, they're touring the States in support of the aptly titled "4," a forthcoming effort that according to their press release should be "a vibrant rock album fueled by memorable guitar hooks and compelling melodies, big choruses and even bigger riffs."

Details: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 15. Arizona Federal Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $55 and up. 800-745-300, ticketmaster.com.

Elle King

King brings the Drunk and I Don't Wanna Go Home Tour to Phoenix with Lola Kirke and Fancy Hagood. The tour takes its name from a boozy duet that found her swapping lyrics with Miranda Lambert. The two performed the song live for the first time to open the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards in April. King is best known in the mainstream for her breakthrough single, the quadruple-platinum "Ex's & Oh's."

Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $23. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

Killswitch Engage

Last seen rocking Slipknot's Knotfest Roadshow at Ak-Chin Pavilion in early November, the Grammy-nominated metalcore legends return to the Valley to headline Tempe's Marquee Theatre on the Atonement Tour. Released in 2019, "Atonement" was their fourth consecutive release to go Top 20 on the Billboard album chart. Consequence of Sound declared it "an emotionally compelling record" as well as "a very solid addition" to the Killswitch catalog.

Details: 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $37 and up. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.

Wale

This D.C. rapper topped the Billboard album charts with two consecutive releases – 2013’s “The Gifted” and 2015’s “The Album About Nothing,” a soulful hip-hop gem on which he underscored the "Seinfeld" reference of the title with actual dialogue samples from the show. He's playing the Van Buren in support of last year's excellent "Folarin II," which made the year-end list at Complex, whose critic wrote, "Wale knows he’s great, and 'Folarin' II is his dedication to never let outside noise deter him from making inspiring music."

Details: 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17. The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix. $27-$79. 866-468-3399, thevanburenphx.com.

Thursday

Rolling Stone placed Thursday's breakthrough album, "Full Collapse," at No. 11, on its list of 40 Greatest Emo Albums of All Time," writing, "As grotesque as it was wildly popular, Thursday's 2001 breakout would precipitate a new, radio-friendly era of post-hardcore." They went on an indefinite hiatus in 2011 after the release of their sixth album, "No Devolución," reuniting in 2016 before taking another break in 2019. They're back together, obviously, having played their first show in two years at Riot Fest in September.

Cults

Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the beloved self-titled debut that introduced the world to the spellbinding magic of Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, making good on the shimmering pop transcendence of their breakthrough single "Go Outside." And they're still going strong, as evidenced by the timeless appeal of 2020's "Host," an album that finds them expanding the scope of their sound while retaining the charms of their debut and welcoming Follin into the songwriting process.

In addition to selections from "Believe," his latest album, Bocelli has promised the fans a career-spanning set of arias, crossover hits and love songs.

Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19. Footprint Center (formerly Phoenix Suns Arena), 201 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix. $80 and up. 602-379-7800, ticketmaster.com.

Los Temerarios

It's been 44 years since two brothers – Adolfo and Gustavo Angel – formed the group that would become Los Temerarios with their cousin Fernando Angel, who's no longer involved in the project.

Justin Bieber

This concert was originally scheduled to hit State Farm Stadium on June 5, 2020, but moved to the nearby arena before being pushed back a year in response to the pandemic. That rescheduled date was then pushed back to 2022 and here we are. He even changed the tour name from the Change Tour to the Justice Tour, because he's managed to release another album since the tour was announced, returning to the top of Billboard's album chart in March of 2021 with "Justice."

Dinosaur Jr.

J. Mascis made the Alternative Nation safe for speaker-shredding, fuzz-drenched Neil Young-style guitar heroics on Dinosaur Jr. albums as essential as "You're Living All Over Me," "Bug" and "Green Mind." And last year's "Sweep It Into Space" was yet another welcome throwback to the Golden Age of Fuzz. Of course, it helps that it's the fifth consecutive release to boast the classic lineup — Lou Barlow on bass and Murph on drums — since they got back together and blessed us with "Beyond" in 2007. Bring your own lighter.

Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. Sold out. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

Sierra Ferrell

The trouble with old-timey music is that it tends to comes to come across as shtick, like someone playing dress-up. Thankfully, that's not the case with "Long Time Coming," this Nashville-based singer's debut. It manages the rare feat of sounding like a record that's been sitting on a shelf somewhere for decades while also sounding genuine and heartfelt. It also helps that she's such a good singer. As Pitchfork noted, "The most striking element of Long Time Coming is the one that made Ferrell go viral in the first place—her voice."

Details: 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $18. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

Murphy's "Cowboy Songs" was the first album of cowboy music to earn a gold record since "Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" by Marty Robbins in 1959. He may be best known in the mainstream crossover success of "Wildfire," a chart-topping Adult Contemporary hit involving the ghost of a woman who died one winter "when there came a killing frost" and the pony she named Wildfire. Other hits include "Carolina in the Pines" and "What's Forever For."

Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $38.50-$80.50. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com.

Fresh from winning Album of the Year and Best R&B/Soul Female Artist at the Soul Train Awards for an album that also earned three Grammy nominations, Sullivan arrives at the Van Buren in support of "Heaux Tales," a chart-topping triumph.

Iglooghost

The U.K.-based experimental EDM producer will present an audio/visual show with Vivek Menon in support of last year's heralded "Lei Line Eon." The Line of Best Fit praised the producer for having "managed to create sounds that feel completely organic and naturalistic yet hyper-digital at the same time — anchored on occasion by violin embellishments, dutifully adding a tragic grit to the songs, stopping them from drifting away."

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 27. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $20. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

Mitski

By the time she gets to Phoenix, Mitski will have dropped her much-anticipated followup to "Be the Cowboy," a career-defining masterstroke on which the singer's restless vision takes you from the throbbing disco synths of "Why Didn't You Stop Me?" to the album-closing reverie of "Two Slow Dancers." Pitchfork, Vulture, Consequence of Sound, the Line of Best and Flood magazine all named it the best album of 2018. That could be why this show sold out so quickly.

Details: 8 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28. The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix. Sold out. 866-468-3399, thevanburenphx.com.

Gary Numan

This New Wave legend may be thought of as a one-hit-wonder in the States, where "Cars" is destined to remain his mainstream calling card. But there is so much more to Numan's legacy than that. An electronic music pioneer whose impact on '90s industrial rock is undeniable, he was honored in 2017 with the Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors. And his recent work would seem shockingly relevant to anyone who hadn't paid attention to his music since the '80s, from 2017's "Savage (Songs From A Broken World)" to the brooding brilliance of "Intruder," which made our list of 2021's best albums.

Details: 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. Sold out. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.
