Best Indie & Rock in Cedar Rapids

Barenaked Ladies at McGrath Amphitheatre

Barenaked Ladies

Canada's finest purveyors of bouncy pop-rock are heading out for a handful of shows in 2024. The multiple Juno Award-winning band never fail to deliver hook-laden goodness, from their iconic single 'One Week', to the theme tune for TV's The Big Bang Theory, and their live shows are always fantastic fun.

Styx at Alliant Energy PowerHouse

Styx

Styx have been rocking around the world for the last four decades with a back catalog of hits powering them through 100+ shows a year! Formed in 1972 in Chicago, Styx have become a mainstay in any rock fan's collection. Now four decades on Styx show no sign of slowing down with more dates for 2023, don't miss the chance to see them live.

REO Speedwagon at Alliant Energy PowerHouse

REO Speedwagon

These hard rocking Midwesterners are the stuff of legend! Formed in 1967, the Illinois raised rockers found incredible success in the 1970's, beginning in a scene that included STYX, Chicago, and Cheap Trick, they quickly went on to reach chart-topping heights with their 1980 album 'Hi Infidelity', which became the soundtrack of a generation, and further spawned the emotional rock ballad 'I Can't Fight This Feeling.'

Three Dog Night at Paramount Theatre

Three Dog Night

With a music career spanning 4 decades, Three Dog Night have certainly earned the right to be one of America's most iconic bands. With a vast back catalogue of smash hits like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)", "Joy to the World", "Black and White", "Shambala" and "One" it would be easy for Three Dog Night to rest on this legacy, however, this band is not one for taking a break and are always looking for new ways to increase their audience.

Leonid and Friends at Paramount Theatre

Leonid and Friends

Hitting the road in North America this year is Leonid and Friends, the YouTube sensation tribute band to Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and others, from Eastern Europe! Despite never having seen Chicago live (they never toured to band leader Leonid Vorobyev's home country of Russia), the group became a global hit for their stunning recreation of the music of the legendary American soft-rockers.

Theory Of A Deadman at Paramount Theatre

Theory Of A Deadman

Formed in 2001, hard-rocking Canadian quartet Theory Of A Deadman became the first act to sign to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's Roadrunner Records imprint label 604 Records. Releasing their debut record and breakthrough single Make Up Your Mind just a year later, the outfit embarked on a journey into mainstream rock, becoming one of the genre's most successful acts thanks to their heady fusion of post-grunge, alternative rock, and metal.
