Since its 2015 launch in Hamburg, Germany, Meute has been gaining international attention for reimagined techno hits, along with original compositions.

MUSIC: THE KILLERS There are a lot of asterisked performances between today and the last time The Killers played a proper show for a hometown audience: “Pre-recorded set for BBC Radio 2,” “Part of the iHeartRadio Living Room Concert Series,” that sort of thing. Without getting too deep in the weeds on what constitutes “a proper show,” we’re willing to bet that you haven’t seen The Killers live in person in two years or longer. That means the band has two albums’ worth of new material (2020’s Imploding the Mirage and 2021’s Pressure Machine) that you’ve never heard played live—to say nothing of the even newer material the band is reportedly working on now, some of which it may road-test. And oh yeah, The Killers still have a whole catalog full of songs that you—and Las Vegas—kinda grew up with, surely a huge reason all three of their Chelsea shows were sold out at press time. Just remember, where there’s a will (and a Stubhub), there’s a way. April 15-17, 9 p.m., $64+, the Chelsea. –Geoff Carter

PARTY: SICKICK We had to arrive in 2022 in order to get a masked, mysterious DJ who’s gone viral with mashup remixes combining Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” with Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” and Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” with Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Sickick simply couldn’t have existed until our current reality, where TikTok is more important than a deal with a record label. Still, there’s something to these sounds, as evidenced by Madonna’s recent release of Sickick’s remix of “Frozen” with additional vocals by Nigerian singer Fireboy DML. The rising star DJ has joined the party at Virgin’s Élia Beach Club and will likely be back throughout the summer. 11 a.m., $40, eliabeachlv.com. –Brock Radke

PARTY: BRETT RUBIN The Strip hasn’t yet seen a full season of Moonbeam, Ayu Dayclub’s tropical, Tulum-inspired Sunday-night pool party that has already featured a stellar group of artists including Duke Dumont, Jamie Jones and the Martinez Brothers. The soundtrack will continue to expand as Resorts World evolves through 2022 with return visits from Disclosure and Green Velvet, but a local artist starring in this event is a rare occurrence. DJ and music and event producer Brett Rubin steps into that role in this latest installment of Moonbeam, bringing the seductive house sounds that have been blistering Beatport charts and setting the tone at his Terrace Afterhours sessions at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club. 10 p.m., $20-$30+, zoukgrouplv.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: DRAGONFORCE London’s DragonForce brings a lesson in power metal to the House of Blues, where the band swoops in with its first world tour in two years. “You’re not going to just see a few guys jamming out and having a drum kit around. It’s a full-on show,” guitarist and founder Hermani Li tells the Weekly. “You can’t even blink, because there’s so many things happening on our stage.” DragonForce prides itself on playing speed metal so fast, it damn near broke Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock; The band’s featured song in that game, “Through the Fire and the Flames,” plays at 200 beats-per-minute, making it the hardest track to beat in GH3 and possibly the whole franchise. We chatted with Li about metal spectacle, the power of video games and … Celine Dion? Head to lasvegasweekly.com for the full interview. With Battle Beast, Seven Spires. 7:30 p.m., $27, House of Blues, houseofblues.com. –Amber Sampson
