Thursday, MARCH 16

MUSIC: FLOGGING MOLLY With Anti-Flag, Skinny Lister, 7 p.m., the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com.

MUSIC: WEEN  It’s a real occasion when Dean and Gene Ween play Brooklyn Bowl. The band takes over the stage for multiple nights, and even the kitchen gets in on the action: In past years, Brooklyn Bowl has actually changed its menu for the duration of Ween’s visit, replacing the names of all its plates with band-related puns. (My favorite: “Help Me Scrape the Hummus Off My Brain.”) But what matters most to the hardcore fans are the songs, and judging by past Brooklyn Bowl visits, they’ll need to attend all three nights to get the full brown experience—an option Brooklyn Bowl offers for $179. That’s not to say you couldn’t drop in for one night of “Pork Roll Egg and Cheese” and “Bananas and Blow.” By the way: Those are Ween songs, not menu items. And if you’ve got a taste for them, Ween’s serving up a proper feast. March 16-18, 7 p.m., $60-$65 (3-day pass $179), Brooklyn Bowl, ticketweb.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: OV7 8 p.m., Pearl Concert Theater, ticketmaster.com.

PARTY: TWO FRIENDS Picking a name for your DJ duo can be a treacherous task, but Matt Halper and Eli Sones decided to keep it simple. They’re lifelong friends and musical collaborators, having met in seventh grade while growing up in LA, then cutting their teeth making hip-hop beats and visiting Coachella’s EDM tent. Flash forward to 2023, and they’ve announced the Planet Two Friends tour, along with Disco Lines, Matoma and others. Their annual Big Bootie Land event touches down in Chicago in June, and they’ve secured plenty of spring dates at XS and Encore Beach Club at Wynn. Vegas is a fitting destination for an act that broke through on the strength of a viral remix of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” and new single “No Saving Us” has that light, feel-good vibe that tends to show up during sets like Friday’s at the sunny EBC on the Strip. 11 a.m., $30-$55+, Encore Beach Club, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: STEVIE NICKS  Black chiffon, grace, grit and the high school cheerleader/book club president who told me I had to listen to Bella Donna in the ninth grade: That’s what comes to mind when I think of Stevie Nicks. That album will turn 42 later this year, yet it remains as timeless as ever, as does its creator, who made a name for herself with hits like “Dreams” and “Rhiannon” during her days with Fleetwood Mac. Nicks has been an inspiration to multiple generations, and hearing her husky voice work through such iconic pop melodies feels like the perfect way to celebrate women’s history month. 7 p.m., $70-$550, T-Moblie Arena, axs.com –Evelyn Mateos

Monday, MARCH 20

MISC: QUEENS OF ROCK After starring in more than 200 performances of her female-driven, classic-rock whirlwind Queens of Rock at the now-shuttered Mosaic Theater from 2020 through 2022, Canadian singer Elyzabeth Diaga received a hero’s welcome upon her return to Montreal. “It was crazy, sold-out venues, people screaming,” she says. “There was definitely more excitement back home for our series of shows after Las Vegas. People were impressed.” Diaga and her veteran Vegas-based backing band enjoyed that initial run, and now the gang returns for a new residency at the 850-seat Orleans Showroom, kicking off this week. Expect the same show stacked with Diaga’s powerful renditions of hits from Heart, Blondie, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar and more, just on a bigger stage. “And what I like about being in this beautiful casino is that the Strip was mostly tourists only … I don’t think locals go on the Strip to see shows much. This is so cool, because the Orleans has both locals and tourists.” 9 p.m., March 20, 23, 24 (& 7 p.m. March 25), $55, Orleans Showroom, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

ARTS: READING: NGUYEN PHAN QUE MAI “Only through honesty can we learn about the truth,” grandma Dieu Lan tells her 12-year-old granddaughter Huong. It’s one of many proverbs sprinkled throughout the 2020 novel The Mountains Sing, which tells of one North Vietnamese family’s experience with war. Black Mountain Institute hosts a reading with author Nguyen Phan Que Mai, whose dynamic narrative touches on the historic legacies of French colonization during the 19th century, Japanese invasion during World War II and the United States’ Vietnam War. It has been 48 years since the end of the American military’s involvement after the Fall of Saigon, yet nearly five decades later, “the wounds that divided our country and families, both at home and in the diaspora, remain profound and painful,” Que Mai wrote in a 2020 essay in Women Writers, Women’s Books. With her internationally acclaimed novel—her first written in English—the author paints a vivid portrait of Vietnamese culture, people and resilience. The reading will also feature performances by the Vietnamese American actress and audiobook narrator Quyên Ngô. 7 p.m., free, Rogers Literature & Law Building at UNLV, blackmountaininstitute.org. –Shannon Miller
