Part of the nu-metal movement that was so popular in the ’90s, hard rockers Godsmack have regularly played Northeast Ohio since forming back in 1995. The group is out on the festival circuit this summer and has added some dates in the fall. It’s set to return to town to play Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica on Sept. 22. Breaking Benjamin
will open the show. Tickets are $45 to $55. The official pre-sale goes live on Wednesday on godsmack.com. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday on livenation.com.
