Phoenix is buzzing this week with events for every kind of listener. Today, Thursday August 28, the city kicks off with one of the most anticipated concerts of the year: Nelly’s Where The Party At Tour stops at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre, featuring Ja Rule, Eve, St. Lunatics, and Chingy. This celebratory show marks the 25th anniversary of Nelly’s Country Grammar album and promises special guests, surprise performances, and all the nostalgic hits. According to Phoenix Theater, ticket prices start around 58 dollars, so check out local listings if you want to score a seat. Hip-hop and R and B fans, this is the show to catch tonight.
For something off the beaten path, Carnival of Illusion hosts the Up-Close Illusion Show at Renaissance Downtown Phoenix, where America’s Got Talent and Masters of Illusion magicians bring comedy, mind-bending tricks, and plenty of audience interaction to four intimate rows of lucky guests. It’s a great pick for date night or an unforgettable birthday.
Art lovers have options too. At Phoenix Art Museum, the Collection: Dutch Art Expanded exhibit runs all day, while their Object of the Month event Facing North, Looking West by Guanyu Xu happens today at 11:30 am. Downtown Phoenix Inc notes the Maricopa County Justice Museum is open from 8 am to 5 pm for those interested in local history. Puppet lovers can catch The Little Engine That Could at the Great Arizona Puppet Theatre.
