AMP Music Heats Up

Season includes country, heavy rock, oldies and more

Brian Crowne, vice president of the AMP, can’t narrow down which shows he’s excited about in the upcoming season. “This is a tough question to answer with so many cool shows,” says Crowne. “I’m excited to kick off the season with Hozier, as he is an amazing artist that resonates with so many people. That said, what

I love is all our shows are special and exciting to someone.”

With more than 30 upcoming shows, Crowne confirms that more may be on the way. Also he says it’s not possible to predict what shows may pop up later in the season, like last year’s concerts with Peso Pluma and Lana Del Rey.
