Read more Kansas City Music Guide.Well, this is no way to start the new year--
“Postponed” seems to be the word for many shows, no thanks to the
Omicron variant and record-high infections, but the silver lining is most shows are being delayed and not completely canceled.
Thankfully, a few events have carried on, including most
comedy dates, and we could all use a
good laugh at the moment. Highlight of the month is undoubtedly the solid triple-bill with
Kacey Musgraves, King Princess, and MUNA at
T-Mobile Center and (as of this writing) the
Elton John show there, scheduled for
Feb 1 (after a July 2020 delay) is still on, so there’s plenty of hope and things to look forward to. Stay safe!
Given the current public health state, assume
masks and/or vaccination proof are required for entry.
Here’s what’s happening in the area for the
