GO

Life Cube Project Burn Artists of all pedigrees have been decorating—and filling with their declarations and wishes—the 24-foot-tall Life Cube at Downtown’s Llama Lot. But on Saturday, they’ll watch it burn in a performance-filled fire ceremony. April 2, starts at 2 p.m., free.

Libby Sauter: Off Route Setting speed records on El Cap or providing medical care for kids in war-torn countries, this badass climber/highliner (and Vegas native) has stories to tell. She’ll share a personal slideshow while the crowd enjoys New Belgium brews and a raffle of goodies, with proceeds benefitting the local climbing community. March 31, 7-10 p.m., $10, Origin Climbing & Fitness, 7585 Commercial Way #J.

HEAR

ACM Party For A Cause What was once a small satellite event to the Academy of Country Music Awards has grown into a massive three-day country music festival, with Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley and Kenny Chesney headlining this year. April 1, 3 p.m.; April 2 & 3, noon; $75-$34; Las Vegas Festival Grounds.

Extreme Thing After a year hiatus, the mosh fest resumes with more than 30 acts, including post-hardcore faves Saosin, pop-punkers Bayside, and locals like The CGs, Be Like Max and Ekoh. April 2, doors at 11 a.m., $20-$50, Desert Breeze Park.

Santigold Continuing on her shining, genre-blurring trajectory, the singer/producer’s new album 99¢ is bound to turn the Foundry into one big reggae-meets-synth-pop dance party. With Leikeli47. April 2, 8 p.m., $25.

Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage No, they haven’t resurrected the simulator from the defunct Star Trek: the Experience attraction. A live symphony will play compositions from the sci-fi institution’s various films and TV series, with video clips running in tandem with music. April 4, 7:30 p.m., $50, Orleans Arena.

SEE

An Adult Evening Of Shel Silverstein The poet’s darkly comic world comes to life onstage as part of the Onyx Theatre’s Afterhours series. Think: an NC-17 Where the Sidewalk Ends—all murder and smiles in this hilariously menacing drama. April 1-16, times vary, $15.
