Incubus tops bill for Kemper show

Multiplatinum-selling act Incubus returns to Kansas City after the band’s successful headlining slot at last summer’s Lollapalooza. The Calabasas, Calif., group has just released its fifth album, “A Crow Left of the Murder,” which further explores its blend of aggressive rock and hip-hop grooves. The band will be joined by The Vines and Sparta, at 7 p.m. Sunday at Kemper Arena, 1800 Genessee St., Kansas City, Mo.
