Warmer temperatures are just around the corner. You know what this means—high electric bills, the inability to get away with not shaving your legs for months at a time, constant fear that your eyeballs may melt. But wait! There’s an upside!

Poolside concert series are back!

Red Rock Resort released the lineup for its Red Rock ‘n’ Roll summer concert series, held poolside at Sandbar every Friday night. Hip-hop artist Sean Kingston kicks off the season May 13, pop-rock duo Tears for Fears wraps up September 16, and between them are alt-rock, reggae and pop-rock acts. You may recognize some of them from the radio—or from an old playlist from your pre-iPod days. See the current schedule below (additional artists are expected to be announced “shortly,” the resort states) and start planning your summer now. All concerts are 18+ and cost $30 plus tax and fees.
