South Florida Concert Update: U2 Bails, Sleigh Bells Head South


Bono's mysterious back injury has postponed U2's North America tour, including its July 9th stop in Miami, and put a large hole in the summer concert plans for the SoFla faithful.

However, there are several new concerts that will go a long way in filling that musical void. Although these shows won't feature stadium-size stages, they will allow a closer look at some of the best up-and-coming bands around.

The biggest excitement is reserved for blog darlings, Sleigh Bells. The Brooklyn duo's fuzz guitar/pop vocals combination has the hipsters drooling over themselves. They may just be right. See them July 8th at West Palm's Respectable Street.

July 9 - U2 (Sun Life Stadium) (Tix) (CANCELLED)
October 2 - Rush performing Moving Pictures in its entirety (Cruzan Amphitheater) (Tix)
