A member of underground hip-hop acts The ShotBlockers, KAOS 13, and FTW, as well as a founding member of hardcore bands Crown of Thornz, Skarhead, and Icepick, Danny Diablo headlines the October 11 concert event Underground Invasion 3 at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, the artist praised by RapReviews for his "charismatic and commanding voice."

Delivering what The Big Takeover describes as “muscular, meat-and-potatoes-style blues rock” and what The Dead Hub calls “old souls making incredible new music,” the Minneapolis-based rockers of The 4onthefloor headline an October 11 concert at Maquoketa's Codfish Hollow Barn, treating audiences to what Music in Minnesota deemed “an exciting, drums-driven show with much-promised dancing, howling, and fun.”

A celebration of brilliant musicianship and the Romantic with a capital "R," the Quad City Symphony Orchestra opens its 2025-26 Masterworks season with Grieg Piano Concerto, the concert's October 4 and 5 performances at Davenport's Adler Theatre and Augustana College's Centennial Hall boasting a trio of thrilling compositions and the return of guest pianist Wei Luo, an artist whom the San Diego Union Tribune called "destined for stardom."

Armed with iconic hits such as “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin' into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” "Fantasy Girl," and "Back Where You Belong," the touring musicians of 38 Special bring their singular brand of exhilarating Southern rock back to Davenport in an October 5 concert at the Capitol Theatre, continuing the legacy of the band's long history in the company of vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes, who began with the group in 1975.
