You still have a couple days left to snag tickets to some pretty good Tampa concerts for just $25. While it would be great to see Aerosmith's farewell tour for $25, unfortunately they're not on the list. But the shows that DO have $25 tickets left include some rock legends, pop stars from the 80s, and some fun bands from the 90s.

The cool thing about this Live Nation deal is they don't tack on huge fees that would ruin the $25 sale price. You'll pay sales tax, but all in all, the price still comes in at a pretty slow $26 or $27. And there are some good Tampa concerts on this list that are definitely worth that. Let's dive in.

On June 16, Santana and Counting Crows play Amalie Arena. If you don't like the hot outdoor summer shows at the Amp, I hear you. (By the way, there's a reason they don't schedule them in winter.) Enjoy the show in the air conditioning. You won't have the best seats in the house, but I did find some good seats in the upper level in sections 301, 303 and 315 for $25.

The rest of the shows on this list, sorry... you're gonna sweat. They're all shows at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa. Up first the legendary Doobie Brothers play the Amp Thursday, July 11. I got to see them a few years ago and they still sound fantastic. Unfortunately it's just lawn seats that are part of the $25 deal.

Tampa Concert Tickets for $25? Yup, includes Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson plays the Amp Monday, July 15. I got to see Janet's Together Again tour stop in Orlando last year. As you can see, my seats were in the nosebleeds, but I still had a great time.

This is definitely a show worth $25. Especially since Nelly will open. Unfortunately it's just lawn seats that are $25 on this one too. Janet was supposed to play Amalie Arena a few years ago, but COVID messed that up.

I've never had a chance to see Sammy Hagar or Loverboy live. So getting to see both for $25 at the Amp July 14 is pretty sweet.

Long before there were the Backstreet Boys or One Direction, there were the New Kids on the Block. Joe, Jon, Danny, Donnie and Jordan return to Tampa with Paula Abdul July 19. Again, it's only lawn tickets that are part of the $25 deal.

Up next is the show I'm looking forward to at the Amphitheatre the most on this list. I love Third Eye Blind. I haven't seen them in decades. 3EB had so many great songs besides the ones that were on the radio like "Semi Charmed Life" and "How's It Gonna Be." Plus Yellowcard (they did "Ocean Avenue") is on this show too. I saw them in Las Vegas last year and they're still great live. And you don't have to be stuck out on the lawn. There are some actual seats for this one that are part of the $25 deal.

Two iconic bands from the 70s, Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire play the Amp August 16. Only lawn seats are part of the $25 deal for this show. And finally, REO Speedwagon joins Train on tour this summer. The tour stops in Tampa August 20. I found some $25 seats in Sections 11 and 17.

Some great shows coming up in the Tampa area and a few worth a road trip!

October 3: Boyz II Men

One last chance to see one of the most iconic Q105 favorites from the 80s. Cyndi Lauper has announced this is her farewell tour. See her at Amalie Arena. Tampa is one of only 23 cities getting a tour stop. The only other show in Florida will be in Hollywood, Florida. No Orlando or Jacksonville stops.


November 14: The Pointer Sisters and The Commodores

Lots of great Q105 hits like "I'm So Excited" and "Neutron Dance" from the Pointer Sisters and "Brickhouse" ia one of our most requested songs on Q105. See them both at "An Evening of Icons - An Unforgettable Evening of Classic Hits" at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.
