 The Killers Visit Verizon on Thursday

On Thursday, The Killers take to the stage with special guests The Virgins. The Killers named their studio in Las Vegas "Battle Born", which pays tribute to the state's formation in October 1864. When the band reconvened last May to start work on the follow-up to 2008′s Day & Age, it be-came first a song title, then a thematic touchstone, and eventually the name of the album itself.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Concert begins at 8 p.m.

Ticket Price(s): $67.50 General Admission Floor Standing; $47.50 & $32.50 Reserved

Chicago Returns in Concert to Alpharetta on Saturday

Chicago is an American rock band formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The self-described “rock and roll band with horns” began as a politically charged, sometimes experimental, rock band and later moved to a predominantly softer sound, generating several hit ballads. They had a steady stream of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Second only to The Beach Boys in Billboard singles and albums chart success among American bands, Chicago is one of the longest-running and most successful rock groups in history.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Concert begins at 8 p.m.

Ticket Price(s): $79.50, $59.50, $39.50, $29.50 Reserved
