The concert calendar is a little lean this time of year, but where there is a dearth in terms of the number of shows, there is certainly no lack of quality this December. From indie-pop icons Alvvays, to veteran rockers Skydiggers, we’ve got you covered for must-see shows this month.

Let’s take a look at six concerts you need on your radar for December 2022.

All shows have been selected by Indie88 staff for this sponsored feature.
