Jazzy/bluesy pop singer-pianist Norah Jones (June 20 at the Mann Center) is a wonderful way to mellow out. If your head still needs feeding, tune in and turn on with British trance-rockers Spiritualized (June 9 at the Trocadero). 8, 9 and 11 at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field) are among the summer's hottest tickets, and deservedly so.īut experimental roots-rock band Wilco (June 28 at Penn's Landing Festival Pier) will be performing with noise-rock pioneers Sonic Youth, and what that pairing will produce should not be missed.
