The Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley is set to kick off its 2024 concert season with two upcoming shows.
The first concert takes place on April 21 and is a 60th birthday celebration for Maynard James Keenan, who is best known for his work with the Grammy-winning L.A. rock act Tool. The singer-songwriter will appear at this Sessanta event, performing with his two other acclaimed bands — A Perfect Circle and Puscifer.
Also set to take the stage during that April 21 show is the Bay Area’s own Primus, the El Sobrante-born act led by Les Claypool. Showtime is 7 p.m. and tickets are $49.50-$159.50.
Next up is country music legend Willie Nelson, who visits Berkeley on April 24. It should be a real treat to see the iconic singer-songwriter-guitarist — who is set to turn 91 just five days after his Greek Theatre gig — perform such classic tunes as “Funny How Time Slips Away,” “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” and “You Were Always on My Mind.” Asleep at the Wheel opens. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $49.95-$149.95.
Other upcoming Greek Theatre shows include Sarah McLachlan (May 30), Tedeschi Trucks Band (May 31-June 1) and Bill Burr (June 8). Visit apeconcerts.com for information.
