Coming up here
Gary Clark Jr.
The Austin guitarist plays a room that seats about 1,300, which is smaller than he normally works. WXPN presents. A Tuesday, so the Glenside parking situation is manageable.
Beatles vs Stones
Abbey Road and Satisfaction trade songs across a full set and the audience picks a side. LaJolla runs this format nationally and the Keswick books it most years.
The FIXX, Colin Blunstone the Voice of the Zombies, Peter Asher
Three acts of British invasion and new wave on one bill, including the voice of the Zombies. Earlier 7:30 curtain, so eat in Glenside first.
Justin Hayward
The Moody Blues singer on the Story In Your Eyes tour, playing acoustic and electric. Nights In White Satin is his, and yes he plays it.
Marc Maron
The WTF host on his Yammering Into The Void run. Stand-up, not a podcast taping, and the Keswick is a room where you hear every word from the back.
Cheap Trick
Surrender, I Want You to Want Me, and Dream Police, on the All Washed Up tour. A Monday night arena band in a 1,300-seat theater.
Kamelot
Symphonic metal from Florida with Visions of Atlantis and Frozen Crown opening. Three bands on the Dark Asylum tour, doors early for a seven o'clock start.
Labyrinth: In Concert
The 1986 Jim Henson film turns forty and screens with a live band playing Bowie's score underneath it. Bring the kid who has memorized the whole thing.
Tusk
The long-running Fleetwood Mac tribute, five pieces, working through Rumours and the deeper cuts. Saturday night at the Keswick, five minutes from Jenkintown.
UB40
The Birmingham reggae band on the Unstopable tour, playing Red Red Wine and the Labour of Love catalog. Sunday at seven, earlier than the usual Keswick show.
Michael Franti Trio
Stripped-down Spearhead with the Wheeland Brothers opening acoustic. Franti works a room hard and usually ends up out in the aisles, which the Keswick allows.
An Evening with Rachel Reid
The romance novelist behind Heated Rivalry takes the Keswick stage for a night of reading and conversation with her readers. A 7:30 start on a Thursday in Glenside.
Yachtley Crew
Soft rock played straight and loud. The yacht rock tribute band works through Michael McDonald, Toto and Kenny Loggins territory on a Friday night at the Keswick.
Vic DiBitetto
The Jersey comic who went viral over bread and milk brings his stand-up hour to Glenside. Loud, fast, and heavy on family material. Saturday night at eight.
ButtTootKing
Drag performers Lydia Kollins, Suzie Toot and Kori King take the Keswick stage for a Sunday night show put on by Flip Phone Events. Big wigs, bigger numbers.
Gladys Knight
Seven decades of soul from the Empress herself, Midnight Train to Georgia included. The Keswick is small enough that a Wednesday night here beats an arena.
Chelsea Wolfe
Doom folk and industrial gothic on the DARK world tour, with Jonathan Hulten opening. The late 8:30 start suits the material. Dress for a walk back in the cold.
The Vampire Circus
Aerialists, contortion and sideshow acts staged as a gothic circus, timed for the run-up to Halloween. Saturday night at the Keswick, eight o'clock.

Four sixties acts on one bill: The Lovin' Spoonful, Gary Lewis and The Playboys, The Hollies Greatest Hits with Terry Sylvester, and Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels.
The Breakers
Tom Petty songs played by people who clearly love them, from American Girl through the Wildflowers material. Saturday night with an eight o'clock downbeat.
The Tallest Man on Earth
Kristian Matsson's Swedish folk, all fingerpicked guitar and cracked voice, with Gwenifer Raymond opening. A WXPN night that still ends early enough for a Monday.
Ghostbusters In Concert
The 1984 film runs on the big screen while an orchestra plays Elmer Bernstein's score live below it. Monday night at the Keswick, eight o'clock.
Fear Factory / Mushroomhead

Magical Mystery Doors
Beatles songs and Doors songs from one band on one bill, the night before Halloween. Eight o'clock at the Keswick in Glenside.
Punch Brothers
Chris Thile's quintet on the Unsung North American Expedition, playing the kind of mandolin runs that make a room stop talking. A WXPN night, Thursday at eight.
An Evening with The Hooters
The Philadelphia band plays two nights close to home, with And We Danced and All You Zombies in the set. Joe Hand and Bowery put it on. Friday at eight.
An Evening with The Hooters
Night two for the hometown band at the Keswick. Same eight o'clock start, and the second date usually means the first one moved fast.
