It’s never too early to start thinking about summer concert season, or fall, for that matter. Tickets are going on sale this weekend for a bunch of performances by acts that we here in South Florida have long felt affection for, especially those with a high sing-along quotient: Tim McGraw, Rob Thomas, Steve Miller Band, to name a few. Of course, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and Jo Koy are just funny. And the season also will include concerts by impossible-to-ignore Coachella stars Jessie Murph and Benson Boone, who likely will be much bigger names by the time they get here. Some of these concerts are in presale mode, and we’ve provded passwords where we could. Shine on, you crazy diamonds!
