The top ten dancers from this season of the Fox show So You Think You Can Dance are bringing new routines to their fall tour, with dance styles ranging from ballroom to hip-hop. The show is at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore on Monday, November 10, and tickets ($33 to $52.50) go on sale beginning Saturday at 10 AM.

Fresh off a headlining tour with group Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis is now slated to perform at DC’s Sixth and I Historic Synagogue on Thursday, October 2, as a part of her solo tour. Tickets ($25) go on sale Friday at noon.

Virginia native Jason Mraz rearrives with new music every few years, and he released his most recent album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, this May. See him at DAR Constitution Hall on Monday, October 20. Tickets ($39) go on sale Friday at 10 AM.

Luis Miguel, one of Latin America’s most popular performers, has won numerous awards for his romantic, multiplatinum albums. Ticket prices to his show at the Patriot Center on Sunday, October 26 are a little steep ($68 to $98), but he’s known for great performances. You can purchase your tickets beginning Friday at 10 AM.

Folk musician Iron and Wine (a.k.a. Sam Beam) released his third album, The Shepherd’s Dog, last year and stops by Rams Head Tavern on Tuesday, November 18, during the last week of his tour. Tickets ($22) go on sale Saturday at noon.

World Wrestling Entertainment comes to DC on Monday, December 1. We’re not sure how many Washingtonians are into wrestling, but the fact that the venue is the Verizon Center makes us think there are more than a few. Tickets ($20 to $75) go on sale Saturday at 10 AM.

Our mistake: Tickets for Against Me! with Ted Leo and the Pharmacists didn’t go on sale last week as reported, and instead, go on sale this Friday at 5 PM. The show is Wednesday, October 8, at the Black Cat and tickets are $18.

Singer/songwriter Dwele combines jazz and hip-hop influences to create soulful R&B, giving similar artists like Ne-Yo a run for their money. Tickets to his show at Sonar on Saturday, August 30, range from $20 to $50. Sales begin Friday at 10 AM.

You might remember the New York City-based group Cobra Starship from the Snakes on a Plane soundtrack a few years back. Or not. But after going on the Vans Warped Tour earlier this year and continuing to release catchy pop songs, the band has developed its own following. Check out its show at Sonar on Wednesday, November 19, for $15. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM.

High-energy pop/rock band Electric Six (the one behind the 2003 hit “Danger! High Voltage”) hits the road with Local H and the Golden Dogs for the “Hittin’ the Walls and Workin’ the Middle” tour this fall. See the band at the Black Cat on Wednesday, November 19, for $15; tickets go on sale Friday.

UK artist Paul Weller (formerly of the Jam and the Style Council) has lined up a show at the 9:30 Club on Saturday, September 13, in support of his 20th album, 22 Dreams. Tickets went on sale this morning for $40.
