From Aerosmith to ZZ Top, September concert calendar is stacked for western Pennsylvania

September brings an arena-rock bonanza to Pittsburgh.

We're talking Aerosmith, Eric Clapton, Duran Duran and Bruce Springsteen playing within seven nights of each other at PPG Paints Arena, with Stevie Nicks, Jonas Brothers and possible show-of-the-season Peter Gabriel also there later in the month.

September also brings the homestretch to the Pavilion at Star Lake season, with ZZ Top-Lynyrd Skynyrd, Shinedown and Nickelback all playing the Burgettstown shed.

Blues great Buddy Guy and rockabilly rebel Brian Setzer play The Palace Theatre in Greensburg, while outlaw country act Warren Zeiders and Americana ace Parker McCollum have dates this September at Stage AE and the UPMC Events Center, respectively.
