MUSIC: MIRANDA LAMBERT 8 p.m., & 12/2-12/3, Bakkt Theater, ticketmaster.com.

MISC: FILM: THE NAPA STATE TAPES On June 13, 1978, two punk-era bands performed a free concert at a Napa, California psychiatric hospital: West coast art punks the Mutants, and New York psychobillies the Cramps. The former was building up momentum that would land them opening spots for The Ramones, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and others, while the latter was a couple years away from releasing its legendary debut album Songs the Lord Taught Us and just about 44 years away from Jenna Ortega dancing to their cover of “Goo Goo Muck” in Wednesday. San Francisco-based collective Target Video captured the evening, attended by just 100 people—patients, mostly—for a VHS that would become an influential punk document. The Napa State Tapes, a fully restored version of that legendary show, also includes the Mutants’ set and a brief documentary. But most importantly, it brings Lux Interior and Poison Ivy back to the stage for the 21st-century encore they deserve. 7:30 p.m., $10, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: DEPECHE MODE There are persistent whispers on the wind that Depeche Mode may be retiring from touring soon. (Although, if their fifteenth studio album

Memento Mori is their last, it’s a fine way to go out.) The only hole in this reasoning is this: Dave Gahan and Martin Gore are having more fun on stage than they have in years. During their last T-Mobile show in March, they frequently grinned at each other across the stage, hugged after an acoustic number and even sang “Happy Birthday” to a young fan. And they delivered an all-killer, no-filler setlist that included their terrific new single “Ghosts Again,” muscled-up takes on lesser hits like “Wrong” and “John the Revelator,” and super-energized versions of 1980s classics like “A Question of Lust,” “Enjoy the Silence” and “Just Can’t Get Enough.” So, if this is indeed Depeche Mode’s victory lap, you should be there to tip your hat. And if it’s not, go anyway, because this kind of fun should be shared. 7:30 p.m., $56-$302, T-Mobile Arena, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

COMEDY: ADAM SANDLER 7:30 p.m., Michelob Ultra Arena, axs.com.

PARTY: JAMES KENNEDY Since the loose-lipped Londoner and self-proclaimed “No. 1 guy in the group” joined the hit Bravo reality TV show Vanderpump Rules, the drama and ratings have skyrocketed. His one-liners are iconic (“You’re a worm with a mustache!”), but his DJing skills are equally sharp. Working his way up from a busser in Lisa Vanderpump’s LA restaurant Sur, James Kennedy soft-launched his See You Next Tuesday shows, supported by self-produced house cuts. He’s since found his way onto the festival and Las Vegas club circuit with hits like “Ride Like This,” featuring England’s Vinny Vibe, and “Dance With the Groove,” a floor-rattling bass track that’s shown just how far this reality TV star has come. 10:30 p.m., $20-$40+, Marquee Nightclub, events.taogroup.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: PANTEÓN ROCOCÓ Mexico City’s ska legends Panteón Rococó will bring their irresistibly skankable songs to the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center this weekend. Largely known for politically charged music, this eight-piece outfit shares its musical story and beliefs by fusing Latin rhythms, reggae and punk. Formed back in 1995, the band has reached a 10-album milestone that touches generations of fans and their musical recognition goes beyond their home country and has landed them on U.S. and European stages in recent years. Even this year, Panteón Rococó collabed with London based ska band The Skints on a cover of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” And although they’ve gone on to write love ballads and other feel-good songs, they always come back to their rebel music roots. 8 pm, $65+, Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, dlvec.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
