MISC: ANGRY F*GS “It’s only terrorism if it doesn’t work. When it works, we call it a revolution.” That’s the tagline for Topher Payne’s dark comedy about “left-wing terrorism, which will be on stage during Vegas Pride and the run up to midterm elections—deliberate timing. “Now with gay rights under attack throughout the country, and the insane amount of dog whistling from our right-wing political leaders, we’re showing solidarity with our queer community with this hysterical and provocative play that unfortunately becomes more relevant with each news cycle,” Artistic Director Troy Heard said in a statement. Starring Andrew Young and Ray Winters, Angry F*gs centers around two best friends who find recourse through rage after seeing their rights—and those of other gay men—tossed to the side and stepped on one too many times. It’s a wild ride of sabotage, assassination and fear. Through October 23, dates & times vary, $40, majesticrepertory.com. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: LOST IN DREAMS It’s only Year 2, and already Insomniac’s Lost in Dreams has blossomed into a full-fledged festival experience, complete with two nights of music and two adjacent parties: a Day 1 afterparty at nearby Discopussy with Dr. Fresch, Drezo and Syence; and a Day 2 pool party at Daylight at Mandalay Bay starring San Holo, Mitis, Autograf and Danny Olson. The main event returns to three stages spread across the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, surreal setups designed to maximize the ethereal qualities of future bass, melodic dubstep and other vocal-driven dance music genres. Seldom-seen-in-Vegas artists helping you get lost this year will include Codeko, Hex Cougar, Juuku, Pauline Herr, Xan Griffin, William Black, Lione and Friendzone. Familiar faces Slander, Audien and Madeon are also slated to perform. September 30 & October 1, 6 p.m., $65+, lostindreamsfestival.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: WALLOWS Those who follow the Gen Zers of Hollywood might recognize Dylan Minnette’s work. The LA actor has starred in some of TV’s most hotly tipped productions, including Netflix’s hit teen drama 13 Reasons Why and blockbuster slasher films like Don’t Breathe and the new Scream. But between those silver-screen gigs, Minnette also fronts Wallows, an indie rock band with contagious hooks and windows-down West Coast flavor. The trio’s debut, Nothing Happens, soared up the streaming charts in 2019, thanks in part to a hit collaboration with singer-songwriter Clairo on “Are You Bored Yet?” and star treatment from producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Future Islands). Wallows’ sophomore LP, March’s Tell Me That It’s Over, has all a similar recipe for success, with Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Adele) producing and Minnette evolving as a leading force. With Empath, 7 p.m. $40-$60, Brooklyn Bowl ticketweb.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: THE EVENT Pitbull and H.E.R. just signed on for this second-year fundraising gala and open-to-the-public concert event that benefits the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’s mission to support local communities. They join an already stellar lineup that includes Maren Morris, Maroon 5 and comedian John Mulaney (who recently canceled a Vegas tour date at T-Mobile Arena). With his fast-casual eatery Big Chicken and his Wynn Nightlife residency as DJ Diesel, Shaq’s local presence continues to grow, and he’s giving back to Vegas by kicking proceeds from The Event to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and Communities in Schools of Nevada. If you’re not one of those well-heeled types buying tables and bidding on auction items, standard concert ticket prices start at $50 so you can still enjoy the big-name talent and pitch in for the cause. 8:45 p.m., $50-$525, MGM Grand Garden Arena, axs.com. –Brock Radke

Sunday, October 2

PARTY: CAM’RON & JADAKISS The DJ Franzen-anchored House Party series at Drai’s reaches a frenzied climax Sunday when two emcees from the upcoming 3 Headed Monster tour join forces onstage. One of the most buzzed-about battles among last year’s Verzuz streaming events matched the Lox against Dipset (aka the Diplomats), a celebratory collision of late ’90s NYC rap. Now the lyrical leaders of each crew will revisit their respective hits at Drai’s as a sort of warmup for the tour, which starts October 19 in Connecticut with Bad Boy hitmaker Mase joining in on the fun. But when you have countless classic tracks from Cam’ron and Jadakiss—two hip-hop artists who make albums, not just memorable hits—two is too much. 10 p.m., $40-$60, Drai’s Nightclub, draisgroup.com. –Brock Radke

PARTY: THE GLITCH MOB From the day The Glitch Mob released debut album Drink the Sea back in the summer of 2010, the sound of the LA-based electronic trio—still Boreta (Justin Boreta), edit (Edward Ma) and Ooah (Josh Mayer)—has been a tough one to pin down. Their bass sound nods toward dubstep, but they never fully engage with the wob-wob-wob cliches of that form, keeping only its insane lower end rumble. Their name obviously includes the word “glitch,” but compared to some of their contemporaries— Pretty Lights, say, or Nobukazu Takemura—they don’t lean too far into glitch either. And though their hard rock-like intensity could place them in the industrial realm, their stuff is too pretty for the rivetheads. (And the issue is further confused by their latest single “The Flavor,” which is an early-’90s-era techno throwback that Messiah, Moby or The Prodigy would be proud to claim.) Suffice to say, The Glitch Mob’s sound is hard-driving and melodic, and it’s gonna move you one way or another—either physically, or toward nostalgia for old-school techno. Maybe both at once. With Anna Morgan, lwkylky, 10 p.m., $20. Discopussy, discopussydtlv.com. –Geoff Carter
