GO

Experience Hendrix Until we figure out time travel, this is the next best thing to witnessing Jimi in concert. Steve Vai, Living Colour, Ernie Isley, ex-Hendrix bandmate Billy Cox and other dudes with impressive credentials will play the songs. May 20, 8 p.m., $69-$99, Las Vegas Hilton.

H2X The South Point Arena goes undercover this weekend—as the “world’s largest swimming pool.” The 600,000-gallon puddle will be a spectacle in and of itself, and the watercross racing, jet ski stunts and wakeboarding? Not too bad, either. May 20 & 21, 8 p.m., $20-$60.

Rammstein Mention German industrial-metal, and involuntary memories of the swollen riffs in “Du Hast” will fly. The live show promises to be delightfully nightmarish. May 21, 8 p.m., $66.50-$96.50, Thomas & Mack.
