The Technicolors, Fictionist, & The Nightbirds Crescent Ballroom : 8:00 p.m. May 23
Provo, Utah-based Fictionist wants to make your troubles melt away, and the band can do it in any number of ways.

Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T. emerged to prominence with mixtapes Return of Forever and Krit Wuz Here. Both married both conscious and Southern rap over smooth and soulful beats he created himself.

DJ Thomas Gold Maya Day and Nightclub : 8:00 p.m. May 24
DJs are the modern rock stars. Onstage, they look like golden gods, surrounded by thousands of admirers and showered in fire. But behind the scenes, these seemingly superior beings aren't all that different from the rest of us. Sure, they're making thousands of dollars a night. But without... More >>

Trapfest The Monarch Theatre : 9:00 p.m. May 25
Bragging seems to be as natural a biological process to Adolfo Salazar as breathing.

Limp Bizkit Marquee Theatre : 9:00 p.m. May 26
Ask him what he wishes someone had told him 30 years ago, when he began his music career, and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst's answer might surprise you. "To remain." Long pause. "Silent."

Joyce Manor Yucca Tap Room : 7:30 p.m. May 27
L.A. punk-pop band Joyce Manor have gone from house parties to festival shows pretty damn quick, but what can you do? They have charisma, hooks, the decorum you need to keep going even when your fans get obsessive, and of course they've got the songs, too. Recent album Of All Things I Will Soon... More >>

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) Crescent Ballroom : 8:00 p.m. May 28
Over the past decade, "hipster" has re-emerged as the insult du jour — an increasingly vague, increasingly common label placed on elitists and enthusiasts of all stripes.

Taylor Swift Jobing.com Arena : 7:00 p.m. May 28; 7:00 p.m. May 29
It is impossible to ignore Taylor Swift, which makes it incredibly easy for music fans to dislike her — people just don't like to have their attention monopolized, whether they enjoy somebody's music or not. Her music is explicitly autobiographical, which means that every new song about... More >>

Black Moth Super Rainbow Crescent Ballroom : 8:30 p.m. May 26
It would be overly simplistic to imagine a chasm between the haves and have-nots in today's psych-rock landscape, even between the ones with huge production values and the ones sticking it out with streamers and bubblegum. The reason: All the best bands these days carry some degree of... More >>

Sarah Brightman Comerica Theatre : 7:30 p.m. October 30
Suffice it to say Sarah Brightman is one class act. Known for her soaring soprano and waif-like demeanor, she's musical theater's leading lady... a diva deluxe... and, it might be noted, Andrew Lloyd Weber's ex. She's also a pop princess, with credits that include more than 26 million albums... More >>

The Rewind Lost Leaf : 10:00 p.m. every Tue.
A weeknight night hip-hop party is a bit of an anomaly. Partygoers might expect to see a Biggie-obsessed DJ spining records to a couple of friends while everyone else is preoccupied with their cells, but The Rewind is nothing of the sort. “Its a Saturday night disguised as a... More >>
