When: Saturday, April 30

Kurt Vile And The Violators

When: Sunday, May 1

Tickets: $15, from Mandolin

Car Seat Headrest

LP

When: Sunday, May 1

Where: The Fillmore, PA

Why you can’t miss it: LP’s recent genre-bending Churches album – released at the tail end of 2021 – was perhaps the most confident statement of intent to date from the American singer-songwriter. Watching the artist bring those songs to life onstage is sure to be similarly enthralling.

Kikagaku Moyo

When: Tuesday, May 24

Where: Thalia Hall, IL
