MUSIC: THE 1975 Good British pop bands like The 1975 never stick to the same formula for long. Each album feels like the start of a new era, with frontman Matthew Healy introducing an imaginative web of new stories, color palettes and sonic experimentation that run the gamut from blissful pop and ethereal alt-rock to jazz and even a bit of gospel. With the band’s October LP, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, Healy pulled producer Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey) into the studio to create an accessible and heartfelt record made for lovers. Some argue it’s The 1975 “at their very best,” which also happens to be the name of the band’s latest tour, they could be right. Shows have already received critical praise for their dazzling set design. And after strange sightings of Healy eating raw steak onstage, there’s no telling what this Las Vegas show will bring. With Blackstarkids, 7 p.m., $39-$250, Theater at Virgin, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

UNLV Football vs UNR

SPORTS: UNLV FOOTBALL VS UNR 3 p.m., Allegiant Stadium, unlvtickets.com.

PARTY: STEVE AOKI It’s only been a couple months since Steve Aoki dropped Hiroquest: Genesis, a pandemic-era full-length that finds the global trendsetter fusing his raw rock roots into a dance-ready soundtrack without restraint, augmented with guest spots from Lil Xan, Kane Brown, Bryce Vine and Taking Back Sunday. Now, the Tao Group Las Vegas resident DJ and producer has already upgraded, unleashing a remixed version of the album that includes a collaborative remake of Taking Back Sunday’s 20-year-old smash “Cute Without The E.” It’s a meta musical moment that could only come from Aoki. “So much of my career has been steeped in the rock and alternative worlds that it felt like the best time to add a new spin to one of their biggest hits,” he said in a statement. “We teamed up with a lot of incredible acts for these new remixes and I can’t wait to take these songs on the road.” That road starts this weekend with his birthday celebration at Omnia. 10:30 p.m., $30-$50+, Omnia Nightclub, events.taogroup.com. –Brock Radke

UNLV Jazz Festival

UNLV Jazz Festival

MUSIC: UNLV JAZZ FESTIVAL Thru 11/30, 7:30 p.m., Alta Ham Fine Arts, unlv.edu.

MISC: DIJON BREEZION: AMERICAN ICON Writer and performer Ernest Hemmings has tried on so many personalities onstage, one could rightly wonder if he’s been possessed by an entire airport terminal, with arrivals and departures on the hour. This year alone, the founder of experimental theater company TSTMRKT has explored the lives of corporate drones in his play The Proletariat, stepped into the boots of “locally famous” hustler Dick Ripper in Everyone Loves Dick—and now, just under the wire, he dons the tall wig of Las Vegas’ “favorite public access television hostess” Dijon Breezion in a 75-minute solo performance augmented by TSTMRKT-like video clips and audio montages.

Hemmings says Dijon’s epic journey, like Dick Ripper’s before her, began in TSTMRKT. “Everyone Loves Dick and Dijon Breezion … basically pick up from when the audience first met them [in TSTMRKT],” he says. “Dick was selling a car. Dijon was selling her... ‘talent.’” This time, Dijon’s journey takes the audience from a Vegas hotel room to a Florida funeral to a “disastrous” off-Strip hibachi restaurant, while our tour holds onto reality “by a thread.” November 28-29, 8 p.m., $25-$35, Vegas Theatre Company, tstmrkt.com/dijon. –Geoff Carter
