Every Outdoor Concert in Phoenix You Must Go to This Summer

We get it -- it’s a little bit warm outside in Phoenix this time of year, but why should 100-plus degree temperatures force you to stay inside all summer long? There are so many huge musical acts heading to the Valley, and just as many great local artists braving the heat. So, grab a cold beer, embrace the sweat, and have a blast listening to these DJs, country stars, hip-hop heroes, and classic rockers.
