MISC: VIVA LAS VEGAS ROCKABILLY WEEKEND Coiff those pompadours and break out the high-waisted skirts, because Las Vegas’ annual rockabilly festival returns to the Orleans with more hot rods, burlesque and rock bands than ever before. Viva has been a pillar of the retro rockabilly scene for 26 years, attracting more than 20,000 fans from all over the world for a swingin’ weekend with a full lineup of performers. Founder Tom Ingram, who launched his first big weekender in England, debuted Viva Las Vegas at the Gold Coast in the mid-’90s before moving it to the Orleans. “I didn’t know if it was gonna be long term or not, so we treated each one as a special event,” Ingram told the Weekly last year. “But it got to a stage where the Gold Coast was bursting at the seams.” The festival has not only helped to preserve the culture of rockabilly, it has expanded upon it. Viva now boasts one of the largest 1960s-era car shows on this side of the country, along with fashion shows, tattoo artists, vendors, meetup groups, pool parties, wedding chapels and burlesque over the span of its four days. This year’s music lineup includes Charlie Hightone, The Bellfuries, Al “Lil Fats'' Jackson, Ruby Ann, Scotty Baker, Star Mountain Dreamers and the Flea Bops. $230, the Orleans, vivalasvegas.net. –Amber Sampson

PARTY: NINAJIRACHI With Izzy Camina, 9:30 p.m., the Wall at Area15, area15.com.

MUSIC: IGGY POP He’s just a modern guy. Iggy Pop has been making brilliant, fist-punch rock ’n’ roll for most of his natural life; the man born James Osterberg Jr., currently 76 years old, is nearly 60 years into his professional career. As the singer and lyricist of powerhouse Ann Arbor, Michigan, band The Stooges, he had a hand in creating punk rock—and as a David Bowie-produced solo artist, he similarly shaped the contours of post-punk (Joy Division is unimaginable without The Idiot). These days, he’s touring with a new all-star band, The Losers (Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, Josh Klinghoffer and Andrew Watt) and performing a batch of classic tracks mixed with some new songs that nod to every twist and turn of his career. Yeah, it’s a victory lap, but Iggy Pop is giving it all he’s got—as he will on the next few victory laps after this one, too. It’s entirely possible that Iggy Pop is immortal. 8 p.m., $54+.

PARTY: TYGA His headlines have long been dominated by gossip about his dating life, but in Las Vegas, Tyga’s best known for cranking up club parties on the Strip. In recent years, he’s been setting fire to Jewel and Tao Beach Dayclub, but the 33-year-old Compton rapper behind epic collaborations like “Taste” (with Offset) and “Freaky Deaky” (with Doja Cat) has spent plenty of Vegas downtime relaxing (and partying) at Wynn. It only made sense for him to launch a new residency there this year; it began in March and continues this weekend with a Sunday set at Encore Beach Club. As one of the rare non-DJ regulars, Tyga will bring a new dimension to Wynn all year long. Noon, $20+, Encore Beach Club, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: STEEL BEANS Jeremy DeBardi is Steel Beans, and Steel Beans is … well, that seems to depend on the prevailing winds. A “multi-genre” musical group and multimedia art collective of “like-minded weirdos” that varies in size from a solo act to a 10-piece ensemble with horns, there seems to be only one constant to Steel Beans, and that’s DeBardi himself—a mustachioed, enthusiastic showman who can chunk out mean, dirty blues-rock jams all by his lonesome. That is to say, he plays the drums with his right hand and both feet, and works the frets of his guitar with his left hand … Look, if you don’t believe it, search for “Molotov Cocktail Lounge” on YouTube and see for yourself. Better still, go to the Sand Dollar at the Plaza, and witness this miracle in person. 8 p.m., $15-$20, Sand Dollar Downtown, thesanddollarlv.com/downtown. –Geoff Carter
