SUMMARY:Stewart Copeland - Spoken Word Tour
DESCRIPTION:There aren’t many musicians who’ve shaped a decade the way Stewart Copeland did—and now he’s stepping out from behind the kit for a rare\, first-ever U.S. spoken-word tour. As the driving force behind The Police\, Copeland helped define the sound of the 1980s with a style that fused rock\, reggae\, and precision rhythm into something instantly recognizable. But this night isn’t just about the hits… It’s about everything that came with them\, and everything that followed. \nThe evening unfolds as a deep dive into a career that spans far beyond the stage. Copeland brings stories from his time at the center of one of the biggest bands in the world\, along with insights into his work as a film and video game composer\, opera creator\, writer\, and filmmaker. Through photos\, videos\, and live conversation\, he walks through the moments that shaped his path\, mixing sharp humor with the kind of perspective that only comes from having lived it. The tone is loose\, engaging\, and unpredictable… more like sitting in on a conversation than watching a traditional performance. \nFor fans\, this is a rare chance to get closer to the story behind the music. The night includes a Q&A\, giving the audience a chance to interact directly\, and VIP packages add even more access with a pre-show meet and greet\, premium seating\, a personal photo\, and signed items. It’s not just a look back… It’s a chance to hear it all\, firsthand\, from someone who helped define an era and kept creating long after it ended.

SUMMARY:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina
DESCRIPTION:Trivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI at Surf Cantina turns Tuesday nights in downtown Westerly into a mix of tacos\, drinks\, and friendly competition. With $3 tacos running from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and trivia kicking off at 7 p.m.\, the weekly event blends casual dinner plans with the kind of lively group atmosphere that keeps tables talking\, laughing\, and debating answers long after the first round begins. \nTrivia & Taco Tuesday with DJ Trivia RI brings a more energetic spin to the usual trivia-night format thanks to DJ Trivia’s fast-moving style and crowd interaction.

The setup works especially well inside Surf Cantina’s coastal-inspired atmosphere\, where the laid-back vibe keeps the night social even for people who are mostly there for the tacos and margaritas. \nTuesday nights in Westerly tend to feel quieter before the summer weekend crowds fully arrive\, which gives events like this a strong locals-night feel.

SUMMARY:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Taco Tuesday at Milestone Mystic  brings weekly margaritas\, rotatng taco specials\, and waterfront-night-out energy to downtown Mystic every Tuesday starting at 5 p.m. Sitting right along Water Street\, Milestone already carries the kind of lively coastal atmosphere that feels made for warm-weather evenings\, and Taco Tuesday adds an easy excuse to settle in with friends after work or stretch dinner into a full night out. \nTaco Tuesday at Milestone keeps the menu fresh by rotating taco selections each week\, giving regulars something new to look forward to beyond the usual specials. Guests can grab three tacos for $18 while pairing them with $10 margaritas and sangrias or $5 Modelos and Coronas. The combination leans casual and social rather than overcomplicated\, creating the kind of weekly gathering spot where people linger over drinks\, split appetizers\, and watch the evening crowd build as the night goes on. \nThe location itself adds a lot to the experience. Water Street tends to come alive in the evenings during the warmer months\, with visitors moving between restaurants\, bars\, and the nearby waterfront while Mystic’s downtown energy shifts from daytime tourism to nightlife. Taco Tuesday fits naturally into that rhythm\, offering an affordable midweek outing with enough variety to keep locals and visitors coming back throughout the summer season. \n

SUMMARY:Stewart Copeland - Spoken Word Tour
DESCRIPTION:There aren’t many musicians who’ve shaped a decade the way Stewart Copeland did—and now he’s stepping out from behind the kit for a rare\, first-ever U.S. spoken-word tour. As the driving force behind The Police\, Copeland helped define the sound of the 1980s with a style that fused rock\, reggae\, and precision rhythm into something instantly recognizable. But this night isn’t just about the hits… It’s about everything that came with them\, and everything that followed. \nThe evening unfolds as a deep dive into a career that spans far beyond the stage. Copeland brings stories from his time at the center of one of the biggest bands in the world\, along with insights into his work as a film and video game composer\, opera creator\, writer\, and filmmaker. Through photos\, videos\, and live conversation\, he walks through the moments that shaped his path\, mixing sharp humor with the kind of perspective that only comes from having lived it. The tone is loose\, engaging\, and unpredictable… more like sitting in on a conversation than watching a traditional performance. \nFor fans\, this is a rare chance to get closer to the story behind the music. The night includes a Q&A\, giving the audience a chance to interact directly\, and VIP packages add even more access with a pre-show meet and greet\, premium seating\, a personal photo\, and signed items. It’s not just a look back… It’s a chance to hear it all\, firsthand\, from someone who helped define an era and kept creating long after it ended.

SUMMARY:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops (21+)
DESCRIPTION:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops offer a hands-on creative night for adults looking to trade screens and stress for clay\, conversation\, and a little wine on Fridays through the summer. Designed as a relaxed social workshop for ages 21 and over\, the event combines pottery instruction with a bring-your-own-drink atmosphere that turns the evening into part art class\, part night out. \nThe workshop begins with a professional wheel-throwing demonstration before participants move into creating their own pottery pieces either on the wheel or through handbuilding techniques. Instructors guide guests through the process step-by-step\, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before. Clay and firing for up to three finished creations are included as part of the workshop. \nWhat makes Sip ‘N’ Spin stand out is the balance between creativity and atmosphere. Rather than a formal class setting\, the evening leans into a casual\, social energy where guests can laugh through uneven bowls\, experiment with clay\, and enjoy drinks while trying something new. Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n

SUMMARY:Lionel Richie with Earth\, Wind & Fire
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of night where the first note hits and the whole crowd leans in… that’s the energy Lionel Richie brings on tour. His catalog is stacked with songs that don’t fade—“Hello\,” “All Night Long\,” “Easy”… the kind of tracks that feel instantly familiar no matter when you first heard them. Live\, it’s less about flash and more about connection\, with Richie guiding the room through decades of music that somehow still feels personal. \nSharing the stage\, Earth\, Wind & Fire bring a completely different kind of electricity. Where Richie leans smooth and soulful\, they come in with rhythm\, horns\, and a groove that doesn’t sit still. Songs like “September” and “Let’s Groove” turn into full-on moments\, the kind where the crowd doesn’t just listen… they move. It’s tight\, high-energy\, and built to lift the whole night. \nTogether\, the tour plays like a perfect balance. You get the slow\, emotional sing-alongs… then the tempo shifts and suddenly it’s all movement and celebration. Different sounds\, same impact. It turns into something shared pretty quickly\, especially once the hits start stacking up. If you’re looking for a night that blends timeless songwriting with pure feel-good energy\, this lineup delivers in a way that just works from start to finish.

SUMMARY:Seth Meyers
DESCRIPTION:If you know Seth Meyers from late night\, seeing him live is a different kind of experience… a little looser\, a little more personal\, and a lot more unpredictable. His current run of stand-up dates through 2026 has him bouncing between theaters\, casinos\, and select residencies\, including recurring shows in New York and stops across the country. But instead of a polished TV monologue\, what you get on stage feels more like a conversation that keeps sharpening itself as it goes. \nHis style leans smart without feeling heavy. He’ll slide from parenting chaos to marriage quirks to those small\, oddly specific observations that somehow land with everyone in the room. That same dry delivery he’s known for is still there\, but live\, it stretches out… stories take their time\, callbacks sneak up on you\, and the rhythm builds in a way that rewards paying attention. It’s thoughtful\, but never slow… the kind of comedy that keeps stacking laughs instead of chasing them. \nAnd live\, there’s just enough unpredictability to keep it interesting. Some shows lean more into personal stories\, others drift toward current events\, and sometimes it pivots based on the crowd in front of him. That’s really the appeal… you’re not just watching a version of what you’ve already seen\, you’re getting something that feels built for that specific night. If you like comedy that’s sharp\, self-aware\, and just a little bit offbeat\, this tour hits that balance in a way that sticks with you after you leave.

SUMMARY:Celebrate New London
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate New London returns Saturday\, July 11\, transforming downtown New London into a full-day waterfront festival filled with live music\, food\, art\, dancing\, shopping\, and the largest fireworks display in Connecticut. With free admission and events spread throughout downtown and along the Thames River waterfront\, the festival has quickly become one of the signature summer celebrations in SE Connecticut. Residents and visitors alike gather throughout the city for a day that blends community pride\, nightlife energy\, local creativity\, and shoreline festival atmosphere into one massive downtown event. \nCelebrate New London takes a broader approach than a traditional summer festival\, highlighting not only entertainment and food but also the local artists\, entrepreneurs\, restaurants\, musicians\, and businesses that continue shaping New London’s identity as a cultural hub along the Connecticut shoreline. Mayor Michael Passero described the city as “the region’s center for culture\,” pointing to its authentic restaurants\, diverse arts scene\, live music\, and historic attractions as core pieces of the celebration. Throughout downtown\, visitors can explore local shops\, galleries\, food vendors\, outdoor stages\, interactive exhibits\, and the Creative Village featuring locally made products and live art experiences. \nLive music will take place across multiple outdoor stages and venues\, including performances at Parade Plaza and Custom House Pier at Waterfront Park\, featuring local and emerging artists throughout the day and evening. The festival also includes Salsa Night at Parade Plaza\, waterfront vendor markets\, food trucks\, restaurants\, and gathering spaces spread throughout downtown New London\, giving the entire city the atmosphere of a large-scale summer street festival along the waterfront. \nThe night culminates with the Mashantucket Pequot Fireworks Extravaganza at 9:15 p.m. along the Thames River. Widely promoted as the largest fireworks show in Connecticut\, the display recently added synchronized music broadcast through Big 100.9 FM\, creating an immersive finale that has become one of the defining summer events in the region. Crowds typically gather throughout downtown and along the waterfront well before sunset as the city transitions from daytime festival atmosphere into one of the biggest fireworks celebrations of the summer season. \nCelebrate New London continues to grow as both a community celebration and a regional destination event\, drawing visitors from across SE Connecticut\, Rhode Island\, and beyond for a full day centered around music\, food\, creativity\, nightlife\, and the energy of downtown New London in midsummer. From waterfront views and local restaurants to fireworks over the Thames River\, the festival captures the atmosphere of a shoreline city fully leaning into summer. \n

SUMMARY:The Pussycat Dolls with special guests Lil' Kim & Mya
DESCRIPTION:If you’re looking for a show that leans all the way into early-2000s pop energy\, this one hits immediately. The Pussycat Dolls are back on the road with the *PCD Forever Tour*\, a full-scale comeback that doubles as a 20-year celebration of the music that defined their rise. It’s a global run—more than 50 dates across North America and Europe—bringing their biggest hits back to the stage with a production that’s built to feel big\, polished\, and unapologetically pop. \nWhat makes this tour stand out is the lineup. Joining them are Lil’ Kim and Mýa\, which shifts the whole night into something bigger than just one act. You’re getting hip-hop edge\, smooth R&B\, and full-on pop spectacle all in one flow. It’s not just a warm-up and a headliner… it feels like three eras of 2000s music colliding in one place\, each bringing its own energy but fitting together naturally. \nLive\, it’s built around that mix of nostalgia and momentum. The Dolls bring the choreography\, the hooks\, the visual punch… while Lil’ Kim and Mýa keep the energy grounded in rhythm and attitude. The crowd knows the songs\, the beats hit instantly\, and the whole thing turns into a shared throwback that still feels alive in the moment. If you’re after a night that’s bold\, high-energy\, and packed with recognizable hits\, this tour delivers exactly that without holding anything back.

SUMMARY:Cypress Hill: Once Upon A Time in the Summer 2026 Tour
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about Cypress Hill that doesn’t fade with time… it just gets heavier\, louder\, and more locked into its own lane. The *Once Upon A Time in the Summer 2026 Tour* isn’t just another run of dates; it’s a 35-year celebration of a group that helped shape hip-hop into something darker\, grittier\, and completely unmistakable. From the moment they broke out in the early ’90s\, their sound cut through everything else\, and that same edge still drives their live shows now. \nThis tour pulls straight from that legacy. You’re getting the tracks that built their reputation… songs like “Insane in the Brain” and “How I Could Just Kill a Man\,” the kind that don’t just play\, they hit with weight. There’s a rawness to it\, but also precision… B-Real’s voice slicing through the mix\, Sen Dog backing it with that unmistakable energy\, and the production hitting hard underneath it all. It’s a sound that never tried to fit in\, and that’s exactly why it still stands out. \nLive\, it turns into something bigger than nostalgia. The crowd isn’t just remembering the music… they’re reacting to it in real time\, like it still belongs right now. That mix of old-school hip-hop grit and modern stage energy creates a show that feels both rooted and alive. If you’re looking for a night that leans heavy\, loud\, and unapologetically real\, this tour brings that feeling from the first beat to the last.

SUMMARY:"Weird Al” Yankovic: Bigger & Weirder 2026 Tour
DESCRIPTION:“Weird Al” is back on the road\, and he’s not dialing anything down. The BIGGER & WEIRDER 2026 Tour brings his full-scale multimedia comedy rock show to the stage\, mixing iconic hits with deep cuts that longtime fans have been waiting years to hear live. This isn’t a stripped-down set… it’s a full production\, with his longtime band joined by additional musicians to create a bigger\, louder\, and even more unpredictable concert experience. \nWeird Al Yankovic has spent four decades turning pop culture on its head\, becoming the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time.

Songs like “Amish Paradise\,” “Eat It\,” and “White & Nerdy” have become cultural staples\, and his album *Mandatory Fun* made history as the first comedy album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200. His live shows have filled legendary venues like Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl\, proving his appeal spans generations. \nAdding to the night is special guest Puddles Pity Party\, the towering\, melancholic clown with a voice that stops people in their tracks. Blending humor with unexpectedly powerful vocals\, Puddles has built a global following through sold-out shows and viral performances\, sharing stages with names like Jack Black and Nick Offerman. Together\, this lineup delivers a night that’s equal parts comedy\, music\, and pure spectacle… the kind of show that doesn’t just entertain\, it sticks with you.
