Tucson favorite Calexico will perform on the University of Arizona Mall in a pre-game free concert before Arizona Football’s home opener against Northern Arizona on Sept. 2.
Arizona Athletics, together with Arizona Arts Live, is excited to present Calexico, a GRAMMY-nominated band, open to the public, beginning at 5 p.m. on the east side of the mall.
Praised by NPR for their “sprawling, cross-cultural indie rock, “Calexico has spent the better part of the past three decades exploring the dusty musical borderlands of the American Southwest, crafting singular, cinematic songs as mysterious and magnificent as the arid desert landscapes that inspired them. After decades on the road, Calexico’s music remains boundless and romantic, still gazing upon the horizon in search of their next adventure.
Calexico will also be performing with the Tucson Symphony on Jan. 13, 2024.
Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Arizona Arts Live curates extraordinary live events and arts experiences. A member of the Arizona Arts division at the University of Arizona, Arizona Arts Live brings the world’s greatest artists to Southern Arizona with programming that invites you to think. To feel. To discover thoughtful art and explore the unexpected.
Arizona Football opens the 2023 season against Northern Arizona on Sept. 2 begins at 7 p.m. Tickets start as low as $11 and can be purchased here. Season Tickets and Flex Plans are on sale as well for Arizona’s seven-game home schedule.
