Charlotte live music fans, here's a quick list of the 10 best concerts coming to the city in April.
April 1: Zara Larsson
Zara Larsson makes glossy pop for big rooms — soaring choruses, club-ready beats, and just enough emotional bite to last.
- Location: The Fillmore
- Start time: 8pm
- Tickets: $280
April 4: Eric Church & Ashley McBryde
Eric Church leans into outlaw grit and radio polish in equal measure. With Ashley McBryde on the bill, it feels less like a concert and more like a statement on where the country is now.
- Location: Spectrum Center
- Start time: 7pm
- Tickets: $30
April 7: Moonchild
Moonchild's neo-soul leans warm and hazy — elastic grooves, featherlight vocals and arrangements that shine in a seated theater.
- Location: Knight Theatre
- Start time: 7:30pm
- Tickets: $53
April 10: Black Label Society
Expect thick riffs, extended solos and biker-bar heaviness from this heavy metal band.
Location/venue: The Fillmore
Start time: 7:30pm
Tickets: $84
April 12: Cardi B
Cardi B doesn't just perform, she dominates. Expect a set full of swagger, viral hits, and a larger-than-life presence that'll make this concert feel more like a massive party.
- Location: Spectrum Center
- Start time: 8pm
- Tickets: $250
April 18: Zach Bryan
Zach Bryan keeps it simple with stripped-down songs that feel lived-in, not manufactured.
- Location: Bank of America Stadium
- Start time: 7pm
- Tickets: $70
April 23: The Maine with Moody Joody
The Maine have spent nearly two decades refining their brand of emotionally self-aware alt-rock. With the new album "Joy Next Door" arriving April 10, and singles like "Die To Fall" leaning into that mix of introspection and release, this tour feels like the band is both looking back and pushing forward.
Location: The Fillmore
Start time: 7pm
Tickets: $52
April 25: Peso Pluma
Peso Pluma's corridos tumbados fuse regional Mexican traditions with trap-era swagger.
- Location: Truliant Amphitheater

- Tickets: $70
April 28: Protoje
Protoje's modern reggae balances tradition with contemporary urgency — groove-heavy, politically aware, and built for a crowd that wants both message and movement.
- Location: Neighborhood Theatre
- Start time: 8pm
- Tickets: $47
April 29: Bruno Mars
Few performers operate at Bruno Mars' level. His will be one of Charlotte's must-see concerts of the year.
