We have been blessed with a plethora of great concerts this year. But before we say “so long” until 2022, there are more cool shows to consider.
UPMC Events Center in Moon Township welcomes pop stars The 1975; famed studio musician Jeff “Skunk” Baxter has a rare solo performance at Jergel’s in Marshall Township; and Marie Osmond conducts a Christmas concert at Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra will light up the PPG Paints Arena again, or you can spend New Year’s Eve there with a whole bunch of dummies (manned by ventriloquist Jeff Dunham).
From Kenny G to Donnie I(ris) singing on A Very Yinzer Christmas, there’s a show for you.
