MUSIC: PHISH Phish would have sold out four nights in Vegas even if the revered jam band hadn’t booked itself into what’s currently the most talked-about venue in the world. The question isn’t “will Phish work in the Sphere,” but “what are they going to do in there?” The band’s improvisational nature doesn’t lend itself to the kind of hit-your-marks production that U2 staged in the high-tech arena. Also, Phish is generally leery of using video elements in their shows, which is kinda the Sphere’s whole thing. But this is the same band that covered a spooky sound effects LP at a MGM Grand Garden Arena Halloween show, and transformed Madison Square Garden into an undersea world complete with swimming whales and dolphins and ceiling-to-floor ribbons of kelp. They wouldn’t have agreed to play Sphere if they, and their lighting director Chris Kuroda, couldn’t somehow reinvent the globe. Hope you get to find out how—the shows are sold out and tickets can only be found on secondary market platforms. Thru 4/21, 7:30 p.m., Sphere, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: WHITE RABBIT MUSIC FESTIVAL If you missed the fun at last year’s SunCan music fest, Black Sheep Booking’s teaming up with the Pigeon Hat Collective to introduce the next edition with White Rabbit festival. This time, the showcase will boast an impressive bill of both local and international acts, including indie mainstays like Same Sex Mary, Viaje Nahual, underground rapper Kurian, rising jangle-pop band The Patterns and Tokyo’s avant-punk blues outfit Loolwningen. Black Sheep promoter Shana Salazar also has reserved a few stage slots for up-and-coming local acts Sunday Mourning (alt-rock) and King Fun (post-punk). A lineup this stacked will undoubtedly rope in the community, and concert-goers can bring canned food donations with them for $5 off the entry fee at the door. 6:30 p.m., $20, Fergusons Downtown, blacksheepbooking.ticketbud.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: KHRUANGBIN The most beautiful song of 2024 is Khruangbin’s new single “May 9.” Calling it now. A gauzy, dreamlike, soft-shuffling ode to “a memory held too long,” “May 9” drifts over you like spring clouds shedding drops at random. It’s a wonder, though not exactly a surprise because Khruangbin— Mark Speer on guitar and vocals, Laura Lee Ochoa on bass and vocals, and DJ Johnson on drums, keyboards and vocals—has been tuned into this ethereal vibe right from the beginning, and the band has put it in service of everything from classic psychedelia to spacy disco-rock jams. The Houston-based Khruangbin—whose name is the Thai word for “airplane,” by the by—comes to Vegas in support of its just-released fourth album A La Sala (Spanish for “to the living room”), which is a quieter effort compared to 2020’s funky Mordechai, but don’t be fooled: It still has lots of unexpected, scenic twists and turns, which should spill out beautifully on stage at Brooklyn Bowl. With Hermanos Gutiérrez, 7 p.m., & 4/24, $60-$125, Brooklyn Bowl, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter
