Big names and shows heading to Tucson this spring
Bluegrass queen Alison Krauss and Brit rocker Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame are reuniting 14 years after they collaborated on the critically-acclaimed duet album “Raising Sand.”
The pair two years ago released the follow up, “Raise the Roof,” and on June 15, they will perform songs from the album and the six-time Grammy-winning “Raising Sand” during their Arizona Arts Live concert at Centennial Hall.
It’s one of the biggest shows coming our way this spring and early summer, and it marks the first time we will see Krauss on a Tucson stage since she and Union Station, featuring Jerry Douglas, played the Tucson Arena in 2006. Plant was here as recently as 2018 with the Sensational Space Shifters at Centennial Hall.

Other highlights of the spring arts season includes “The Linda McCartney Retrospective” that includes photos she took from her time in Tucson, a concert with one of the opera world’s most dynamic rising stars, an evening with humorist Fran Lebowitz, the comic musical “Mean Girls” and a concert with 1970s Brit punk-rockers The Psychedelic Furs, which opens it U.S. spring tour in Arizona in late April.
We compiled as complete a list of upcoming spring arts events as we could with the realization that some dates can change and events will be added as we go along. Check with the venue for more details and updates.
