When concert announcements flood a journalist's inbox it can only mean one thing -- peak season is approaching.
And if you think it's too early to start thinking about October (typically the pinnacle of fall touring season), think again. Between Austin City Limits at the beginning of October and Fun Fun Fun Fest in November, you can bet plenty of acts will be passing through North Texas on their way. (Janet Jackson is one exception; she just announced a Dallas date, but it's not until next year.)
Here are some of the most recent concert announcements we've received, by genre. We'll keep updating this post throughout the week.
