MUSIC: MIRANDA LAMBERT 8 p.m., & 4/8-4/9, Bakkt Theater, ticketmaster.com.

ARTS: ANTHONY BONDI: SOLILOQUY It’s difficult to say which came first, Las Vegas’ visual arts scene or Anthony Bondi. The artist himself will tell you that the scene preceded him, but to my eyes he’s always been the caretaker here—elevating other artists, marshaling the city’s Burning Man forces year after year, and absorbing the city’s wild history and iconography, which he would dispense as gorgeous, hand-cut collage art or off-the-cuff history lessons. (It’s telling that when another worldly Anthony—Bourdain—came to town to shoot Parts Unknown, Bondi was one of a handful of locals with whom he broke bread. In fact, Bondi’s narration bookends the episode.) Core Contemporary’s Soliloquy gathers Bondi’s many parts in an “immersive multi-disciplinary experience” of photography, collage, large-scale interactive Burning Man sculptures, plus pieces from his exhaustive archive of Las Vegas arts in local media. In short, it’s a celebration of his work for those lucky enough to know him, and a worthy introduction for those discovering him for the first time.

MISC: HUNTRIDGE THEATER SIGN LIGHTING  It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to type the phrase “an event at the Huntridge Theater,” so if you don’t mind, I’m going to savor those words for a moment. And … there, I’m done. The historic Downtown theater, which once hosted movie premieres, community events and concerts by the likes of the Beastie Boys and Nine Inch Nails, has sat dormant for as long as an entire generation of Las Vegans has been alive. With a ceremonial relighting of the theater’s iconic Streamline Moderne sign and marquee, developer J Dapper formally begins the effort to restore this nearly 80-year-old icon—and in the process, he brings a real gosh-darn event to the Huntridge, with live music from The Rhyolite Sound, The Hypnotiques and The Dirty Hooks; food and drink from Yukon Pizza, Willie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner, Stay Tuned Burgers and Horse Trailer Hideout; and a gallery show of classic concert photos by Mike Hill. See you at the Huntridge, fellow kids. 5:30-8:30 p.m., free, Huntridge Theater, thehuntridge.com. –Geoff Carter

PARTY: DAVID GUETTA Apparently, Brooklyn-born singer Bebe Rexha is interested in making an all-dance record with David Guetta, unsurprising considering the success of their 2022 collaboration, “I’m Good (Blue).” That track, which heavily samples Eiffel 65’s smash “Blue,” has now spent 27 weeks atop Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, surpassing Guetta’s last stay in that top spot (in 2015 with “Hey Mama,” which also featured Rexha, along with Nicki Minaj and Afrojack and held the No. 1 position for 11 weeks). 

That’s just what this guy does. From “2U” with Justin Bieber to “Right Now” with Rihanna, Guetta has produced 20 top 10 dance hits and 75 tracks that have charted, and he’s going to play all of them at Encore Beach Club this weekend. Sorry, late April Fool’s joke there. But rest assured, he’ll cram in as many of his own recognizable smashes as possible. 11 a.m., Encore Beach Club, $65-$100+, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

PARTY: DJ FIVE Pool club season is kicking into high gear this month, and that means double-duty partying for you and for the DJs that keep those parties rocking. But while you might decide to take the night off after a sunny Sunday afternoon dancing and sipping drinks, local fave DJ Five doesn’t get to shut it down; he’s spinning at Ayu Dayclub and then joining forces with Eric DLux for a FAED set at XS at Wynn that night. How does he keep the energy level high for these Vegas marathons? “The strategy is I will definitely be consuming alcohol, but after the daytime set, I’ll go back to the hotel and rest up, have dinner and prep for the second set,” he says. “Honestly, it’s a good time, and Sundays are local days in Vegas anyways, so it’s going to be popping.”He’ll play for two completely different crowds at two primo venues, and besides, the guy’s a pro. He’s constantly traveling, keeping up his FAED University radio show and operating Headliner Music Club with DLux to assist other DJs with music and production. Plus, sharing duties on the decks with his longtime collaborator at XS takes some of the pressure off. “Eric and I don’t rehearse anymore, we freestyle it. We both have our own styles, but we both know how to rock a club, so we complement each other,” Five says. “So I’ll still be serving shots and taking shots, and just making sure everyone in the crowd and in the booth is having fun. Both sets are gonna be ragers.” 11 a.m., Ayu Dayclub, $75+, zoukgrouplv.com; 10:30 p.m., XS Nightclub, $30-$50+, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: KESHI  A lo-fi pop favorite among such K-Pop stars as BTS, Keshi has always been a captain of his own fate. The 28-year-old Vietnamese artist learned how to write, produce and engineer his own music by studying YouTube tutorials and watching Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh. The passion grew so serious that he quit his day gig as an oncology nurse, explaining to the Houston Chronicle that the balancing act doing both led him to wonder, “Why am I here and not making music?” Having signed with Island Records, the Houston pop star will embark on his first global headlining tour, in support of Gabriel, a highly stylized work of art, teeming with bass rattling beats that belie his sensitively delivered falsetto. Essential streams include, “Somebody,” “Westside” and the gorgeously honest “Limbo.” With No Rome and James Ivy. 8 p.m., $35-$175, Theater at Virgin, virginhotelslv.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: GORILLAZ  Don’t call it a comeback, because Gorillaz was just here (at the Life Is Beautiful festival, last September) and because, speaking strictly commercially, the Damon Albarn/Jamie Hewlett-led “virtual band” has never truly been out of the mix. Sure, it’s issued the occasional rushed effort (The Fall, The Now Now) and bangers that didn’t hit as hard as their early stuff (most of 2017’s Humanz). But there’s no denying that latest LP Cracker Island has got the stuff—the hits are hitting (“New Gold,” with Tame Impala and Bootie Brown, is a legit fixture on Sirius XFM), and the music press is largely on board (Cracker Island has scored a solid 80 on Metacritic). So if this one-night-only visit to Planet Hollywood feels like a big happening, well, you’re not wrong. If Gorillaz’s past visits have been an indicator, you can expect to hear 2-D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel dropping one hit after another at Bakkt Theater … and possibly tipping their cartoon hats to De La Soul’s Trugoy the Dove, a longtime collaborator. 8 p.m., $46-$219.
