Delivering an exploison of electro-jam fun on the first night of this year's Alternating Currents festival, the Bloomington, Indiana talents of Dizgo are set to rock Davenport's Redstone Room on August 15, the musicians praised by Space Tapes for "evoking a transcendence of genre: a dizzier disco, filled with a hodge-podge of genres, styles, and technical influences [that's] still, at it’s core, a dance party."

Touring in support of their 2023 recording Validate Me, a sophomore release that Glide magazine called "a testament to their unique alternative rock sound that is uniquely their own," the Brooklyn-based talents of Gooseberry headline an August 12 engagement at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, Glide adding that the group "melds alternative rock, indie, and blues to craft their distinctive sound."

Currently touring in support of her latest recording Proof of Life, an album that Rolling Stone calls "a collection of songs that search for the positive even when there aren't necessarily answers available," the genre-hopping singer/songwriter Joy Oladokun headlines an August 14 concert at Maquoketa's Codfish Hollow Barn, with PopMatters adding that the artist's Proof of Life "might just be the hymnbook of greater authenticity and connection in these fractured times."

On August 3, the grandstand acts at the 2024 Mississippi Valley Fair continue with the artist whom The Rolling Stone Album Guide calls “the world's most beloved heavy-metal entertainer”: Alice Cooper, whose 2023 recording Road was hailed by Classic Rock as "a cohesively themed album lathered in multi-tiered guitars, anthemic choruses, and high-density power riffage, tempered by road-honed dynamism and built for the stage."
