Summer will be here before you know it. We've starting compiling information on upcoming summer concerts for 2015. When we do this, we usually focus on concerts in St. Louis, since it is the nearest major city to us, and it's a city that many of the major tours visit. However, sometimes you have to travel just a little farther to see your favorite acts. While many of the same artists and bands will be performing in both St. Louis and Kansas City, there are a few that (as of this writing) only have Kansas City dates booked for this summer.
