If not, you still get to listen to this punk rock band's hits from the early 2000's until now.

Lorde

Harry Styles
Tuesday, June 26
We all know about the splitting of One Direction, but that didn't stop Harry from releasing first single "Sign of the Times" and his own solo album shortly after. This show is next summer, which may be a long ways away, however, One Direction and Harry Styles fans alike were waiting until the second these tickets went on sale. We are sure this show is going to be a success, but we suggest you bring some earplugs if you don't want to hear thousands of girls screaming at the top of their lungs.
8 p.m.; tickets start at $90, not many seats left
