We’ve got a great program for you. I’m not going to lie, this one took some work.
Music fans and concertgoers, here’s a list that you never knew you needed, but might really enjoy.
As all of the BEST OF music lists came out over the last several weeks I kept going through them to see what acts on those lists were touring through Kansas City in 2024. Tune into the Eight One Sixty radio show on your radio dial at 90.9FM, stream us from The Bridge site or app, and if you miss the live broadcast you can listen from The Bridge archive or subscribe on Spotify and listen there.
On the show we’ll talk about these lists and hear music from several of these celebrated acts that will be touring through Kansas City over the next several months.
From my research, have a look at this massive list below. Please take a moment and share this list with your friends who love music.
