Father John Misty

The coming week at Hayden Homes Amphitheater (344 SW Shevlin Hixon Drive, Bend) is like a conveyor belt serving up alt-rock and indie-rock faves over the past 30 years. Someone out there is going to all five of these, probably:

Thursday night brings the Summer Odyssey tour headlined by the French pop-rock band Phoenix and genre-bending giant Beck, who visits the venue for his fourth time. They’ve released a collaborative song together and taken promo photos together, so they’ll probably perform together, too, in addition to playing their own sets. Sir Chloe and the great Jenny Lewis open. 5 p.m., doors open 4 p.m. $99.

On Friday, the surprisingly enduring band Cake returns to town, bringing with them funky alt-rock hits like “Never There,” “The Distance” and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket.” I’m not a big fan, but a lot of people seem to be. Good for them! 8 p.m., doors open 6:30 p.m. $49.50.

On Saturday, the amphitheater will host pop-reggae happy guy Michael Franti & Spearhead for approximately the 7,000th time. He fits into this story because he was in the politically charged industrial hip-hop group The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy in the early ’90s. Talk about a lifetime ago! SOJA opens. 5:30 p.m., doors open 4:30 p.m. $45.

Then on Sunday, one of the great electric guitar bands of the past few decades, Smashing Pumpkins, will stop at the Hay Ho for the first time ever. If you’re like me and you spent your senior year of high school driving around town blasting “Siamese Dream,” then you’re probably excited about that. Fellow alt-rock hit-makers Stone Temple Pilots will open, along with Rival Sons. 5:30 p.m., doors open 4:30 p.m. $89.

Bend, Hayden Homes Amphitheater has become a concertgoer’s paradise

Last but not least, we move into the 21st century on Wednesday, Aug. 9 with two bands that approach indie-folk music from different directions. Father John Misty is the highly literate, ultra-ironic alter ego of singer-songwriter Josh Tillman, while The Head and the Heart is an ultra-earnest band from Seattle that specializes in soaring, shout-along choruses. Miya Folick opens. 6 p.m., doors open 5 p.m. $60.50.
