Tonight, the spotlight shines on the Footprint Center as Linkin Park headlines their From Zero World Tour with special guest Jean Dawson at 7:30 PM. It’s one of the most anticipated concerts of the year, and if you’re a fan of anthemic rock or simply want to be part of music history, grab those mobile tickets and get energized downtown.

For those who want their evening with a twist of drama and laughter, Drunk Shakespeare gives Romeo & Juliet a wild and witty makeover at 9 PM at the Arizona Center. Or pop over to The Pemberton for Saturdays at the Pemberton, with DJs spinning tunes from 9 PM to midnight in a lively urban garden atmosphere. Art lovers, the Phoenix Art Museum features the fascinating Object of the Month exhibition, delving into the history of the WAVES Summer Uniform for Women Accepted for Volunteer Service in the United States Naval Reserve. You can swing by the museum during regular hours.
