WEEKEND: Three Dog Night play free Fourth of July fest in Palmetto (interview), fireworks, Coldplay, 'Magic Mike' and more

Three Dog Night headlines Palmetto's free Fourth of July party at Sutton Park; singer Cory Wells on band's new platinum record; just saying no: interview


Full list of fireworks, rock 'n' roll planned for July 4th holiday in Manatee

Loved and loathed: Coldplay at Tampa Bay Times Forum 

Review: Soderbergh and his strippers work it with feeling in 'Magic Mike'

And much more in Weekend.
