Tickets are $37 in advance, $47 the day of the show.
 
Rock in Riverhead
What happens when you mix Talking Heads classics with roots, reggae, and ska? The answer can be found at the Suffolk Theater in Riverhead on Friday at 8 p.m., when Mystic Bowie's Talking Dreads will take the stage.

Mystic Bowie performed for almost 20 years as a singer with the Tom Tom Club, along with Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, founding members of Talking Heads. Talking Dreads evolved out of his time with that band.

Tickets are $35 to $45.

A year after the Warped Tour launched in 1995, Vans, the shoe and apparel company, became a sponsor of what became the largest traveling music festival in the United States.

Tickets are $25 to $35.
