into the spotlight with the success of his 2017 debut mixtape "A Love Letter to You."

SEPT. 3 JMBLYA with Future, Gunna, The Kid LAROI and more 3:30 p.m. Tickets $59.50-$249.50* Texas' premier hip-hop festival expands coast-to-coast in 2021 with Grammy Award-winning emcee Future headlining. SEPT. 9 "Back in the Saddle 2021 Tour" Jason Aldean With Hardy and Lainey Wilson 7:30 p.m. Tickets $40.50-$110.25* SEPT. 17 "We're Not For Everyone Tour" Brothers Osborne With Travis Denning and Tenille Townes 7:30 p.m. Tickets $29.50-$89.50* "Musically, I think they're a super talented band — they write great songs, they pick great songs," Crowne enthuses of country duo Brothers Osborne. "And, obviously, on the personal level, having one of the brothers coming out as the first openly gay country music artist at his level is big for him, big for his family, big for the genre and our industry. It's been really exciting to see the amount of support that's been given and the lack of negativity toward it, which I think is an encouraging move in this day and age. And I think it's cool that it's not over- shadowing their music by any means, either. Their artistry stands on its own." SEPT. 18 "Butter Miracle Tour" Counting Crows With Sean Barna and Matt Sucich 7 p.m. Tickets $35-$129.50* Alternative rock band Counting Crows tours this fall in support of the band's first new release in nearly seven years, "Butter Miracle, Suite One."

SEPT. 26 Shinedown With The Struts and Zero 9:36 7 p.m. Tickets $29.50-$89.50* OCT. 2 "Tickets to My Downfall Tour" Machine Gun Kelly With JXDN and Carolesdaughter 7 p.m. Sold Out "It surprised everybody," Crowne reveals of alternative hip-hop artist Machine Gun Kelly's near immediate sellout for his AMP debut. "We knew that it was going to be a big show, but we felt like it would be one that would come out slow and build up momentum. And the whole tour blew out, basically the first couple of days. He'll be in arenas and stadiums next time you see him." OCT. 3 "The Center Point Road Tour" Thomas Rhett With Cole Swindell and Gabby Barrett 7:30 p.m. $60.50-$119.50* The ACM Entertainer of the Year returns to the AMP with fellow coun- try artists Cole Swindell and Gabby Barrett.

"I think we're fortunate that they wanted to go outside this year, they wanted to work, they didn't want to wait until 2022. They want to get out and do what they love to do and be in front of their fans."

You'll see multiple generations coming to see that show," Crowne shares. "It's one of those that when you bring bands in that have been around for a while, getting to see father/son, mother/ daughter, maybe three generations even coming to see an artist, and that's fun." ••• "It may sound a little cheesy," Crowne says in closing, "but I always like to thank people for loving live music because it's enabled me to have a long career in it. And we're appreciative of our patrons and looking forward to having them back in our buildings. It's exciting!" *plus fees 10 WHAT'S UP!
