Singer-songwriter Benson Boone is a confounding mixture of influences. He’s bombastic and theatrical showman in the vein of Freddie Mercury, and yet somehow he’s also a relatable everyman. There are the loud stage outfits and, of course, the cool acrobatic flips. But peel back all his layers and you’ll find an impressively strong vocalist budding with potential.

PALO ALTO, Calif. —It was at times unorthodox, but the opening night of the North American leg of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour was a joyous triumph. The first of two sold-out nights at Stanford Stadium, the show also marked the first standalone concert at the stadium that has also hosted the Olympics, World Cup and the Super Bowl. The U.K. band’s performance was a visual spectacle and a finely tuned artistic mastery on a grand scale.

NAPA — The crowds at the Napa Valley Expo felt bigger and a little younger on Saturday, and there was an excitement in the air for one of the most prominent performers ever to take the BottleRock stage. There was little question as to who the biggest draw was on Saturday, and maybe the biggest of the weekend, based on the masses gathered in front of the main stage to catch the arrival of Justin Timberlake. The BottleRock appearance was Timberlake’s last in America as part of an extended tour.

Ahead of a pair of weekend shows at @LevisStadium, @Metallica is holding a blood drive at the venue along the the @RedCross. A last minute surprise for donors with appointments? They’re headed to the show. https://t.co/Z96MLZ6ljr
This game is definitely ending in a Devers walk-off, isn’t it? #SFGiants
The Sonoma County Airpot today is becoming a training ground for first responders to practice emergency disaster response, with the help of about 60 community volunteer ‘victims.’ (In this case the bus is a downed plane) https://t.co/DmF4TrG5l9
