Trust us, your kids will love this.

Tickets are $24-$70 through pawpatrollive.com or the Centennial Hall Box Office, 621-3341. Paw Patrol hits the stage, 1020 E. University Blvd. on the University of Arizona campus, at 6 p.m. April 21 -22.

Finally, Ani returns!

Just the other day, the Caliente staff was lamenting how it had been way too long since the DIY, Grammy-winning, feminist icon, punk-rocking singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco had visited Tucson.

OK, it’s actually only been three years, but it feels like forever.

And then Bandsintown, which lets you know which bands are coming to town, sent out an email blast saying DiFranco is coming here Feb. 13.

Oh, joy! Seems DiFranco, a native of Buffalo, New York, is looking to escape the Northeast winter with a series of West Coast dates in February that will take her through New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, California, Oregon and here. She’s set to play Fox Tucson Theatre, 17 W. Congress St., on Feb. 13.

Tickets ($27.50-$55) are available through foxtucson.com.
