When bands announce their "final" tours, I kind of find it hard to believe when we see a wave of classic bands relentlessly "reuniting" and touring forever, but Slayer says this is it, so you can be sure Valley View Casino Center will be packed with metalheads spanning generations. But for the rest of us, George Ezra plays a sold-out show at the Observatory North Park; Vagabon and Julie Byrne fire things up at the Casbah; and Poptone return with their big attitudes and mod appeal.
