Local and statewide entertainment for all

Also at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre will be 311 and Snoop Dogg July 24, followed by a double feature of Widespread Panic on July 25 and 26. For a flashback to the classics, Bryan Adams and Foreigner stop by on July 19, along with Rush on July 20.
If large arenas and stadiums are too over the top for a concert experience, music fans can enjoy intimate and stripped-down shows at smaller venues across the state, including Cat's Cradle in Carrboro. Indie rock duo She and Him, featuring actress Zooey Deschanel and singer/songwriter M. Ward, will play July 28, as well as such acts as the Hold Steady, the Faint and the Melvins who stop by at the end of July and early August.
For those looking to stay in the Greenville area, local entertainment shows typically cost less than most concerts across the state and require little to no driving to get to.
The Spazzatorium Galleria, The Corner, 21 Eleven Beer and Wine and Tavern on 4th are just a few of the many venues in Greenville where many area artists will play throughout the rest of the summer.
So whether you decide to travel across the state to catch that sold-out tour or walk around downtown Greenville for a night out with friends, there is sure to be a variety of musical entertainment just waiting to be discovered.
