Erykah Badu

Erykah Badu

MUSIC: ERYKAH BADU Erykah Badu hasn’t released a new album since 2010 (2015’s But You Caint Use My Phone was a mixtape, mind you), but we’ll still help fill the pews in worship of this divine performer. Badu’s catalog is a lushly produced playbook of neo-soul that laid the foundation for the Ari Lennoxes, Janelle Monaes and Summer Walkers of the world. Generations lucky enough to experience 1997’s Baduizm in its prime would be hard-pressed to forget Badu’s lyrical acrobatics on “Appletree” and the easy listening of “On & On.” The debut put the eccentric visionary on track as one of the most innovative voices of her generation and genre, and that impact will surely stand the test of time. Accompanying Badu on her Unfollow Me Tour is none other than Yasiin Bey, the conscientious rapper formerly known as Mos Def. Together, they’ll surely bring an emotionally charged show to the stage. 7:30 p.m., $44-$133, Michelob Ultra Arena, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

Elvis Costello & The Imposters

Elvis Costello & The Imposters

MUSIC: ELVIS COSTELLO & THE IMPOSTERS  Funny thing about Elvis Costello: He gets better and better, the longer you listen to him. I’ve found that to be the case with his live shows—they end stronger than they begin, with Costello in better voice and delivering bigger hits—and, in a way, with his discography, too. That’s not to say that his most recent album, 2022’s The Boy Named If, is superior to 1977’s My Aim Is True, or even equal to it. But there’s something that happens when you allow yourself to really dive into his work, similar to what you feel when you begin bingeing a TV show: You find yourself with an appetite that can only be sated by listening to even more Elvis Costello. Luckily for you, he’s bringing some 46 years’ worth of music to the Palms, along with two great support acts in Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets. 7:30 p.m., $34+, Pearl Concert Theater, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter

Dive In Movies: Elvis

Dive In Movies: Elvis

MISC: DIVE IN MOVIES: ELVIS  For those of us too young to have seen Elvis Presley perform in Las Vegas, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is something of a revelation. Most of us grew up with the notion of Elvis as a character, a guy in a funny jumpsuit. Elvis, built around an all-time great Austin Butler performance, strips Elvis of the idol worship and commercial dross that’s been shellacked onto his name since his death, leaving only a man who wanted to make better music and much better movies. It’s weird that it took Luhrmann, a director who’s the very exemplar of style-first maximalism, to give Elvis’ time in Vegas a fair look. But it’s there on the screen: The film’s depiction of rehearsals for Elvis’ Vegas shows sends shivers down the spine, which are easily controlled by watching Elvis from the Cosmopolitan’s beachlike swimming pool. 7 p.m., $10-$15, Boulevard Pool, cosmopolitanlasvegas.com. –Geoff Carter

Fresh off a tour of his native U.K. and Europe, the 57-year-old producer and Metalheadz label founder visits Las Vegas for a planned three-hour marathon set under the illuminated octopus, sure to be a celebration of jungle, hardcore, and other electronic genres he has mined through the years. Goldie recently announced that his debut album, 1995’s Timeless, will be remixed and re-released next month with contributions from Break, Grey Code, Scar, Nookie, OneMind, Baby Boy and more.
