Concerts: Rising stars, long-awaited returns, new venues and more

Harry Styles with Jenny Lewis (September 4, MGM Grand Garden Arena) The ex-One Direction lead and “Watermelon Sugar” star tenderized hearts with his 2019 release Fine Line; now catch him on tour with Vegas-born indie darling Lewis.

Gary Clark Jr. (September 11, the Theater at Virgin) The Texas blues-rocker—who won three Grammys, including Best Rock Song for “This Land,” in 2020—christens the redesigned venue formerly known as the (new) Joint.

John Legend (September 18, the Chelsea) Legend loves love, and it shows in every chart-topping R&B hit he’s ever made (doting ballad “All of Me” ring any wedding bells?). Catch this Bigger Love Tour stop—you might just find some of your own.

Alanis Morissette with Garbage & Cat Power (October 2, T-Mobile Arena) Alt-rock maven Morissette celebrates 25 years of her groundbreaking album, Jagged Little Pill, joined by the Shirley Manson-led Garbage and the eclectic Chan Marshall. Lady power!

Japanese Breakfast (October 5, Brooklyn Bowl) Michelle Zauner, Japanese Breakfast frontwoman, author and director, puts her sweat into every release—from dark, lo-fi debut Psychopomp to the joyful jaunt of Jubilee to her book, Crying in H Mart: A Memoir. Japanese Breakfast has played Vegas several times, and Zauner and her husband even got married here, so this occasion should mark a special sort of a homecoming. –Amber Sampson

System of a Down with Faith No More & Russian Circles (October 15, T-Mobile Arena) Three years after System played the same venue with At the Drive-In and Skeletonwitch, the metal giants return with two more must-catch openers. (And if you’re wondering, FNM hasn’t been seen in Vegas since the ’90s Huntridge days).

J. Cole with 21 Savage (October 16, MGM Grand Garden Arena) Cole shows no signs of stagnation on May LP The Off-Season, a flexible, lively body of work. Experience its power—plus album collaborator 21 Savage—live.

Machine Gun Kelly (October 16, the Theater at Virgin) The pop-punk rapper’s Tickets to My Downfall owned the airwaves in 2020, and his next release—with Blink-182’s Travis Barker—promises to rock even harder.

Wilco (October 22, Brooklyn Bowl) Jeff Tweedy, Nils Cline and the gang return for Wilco’s third-ever headlining gig here—and first in 12 years(!), for which fans can request specific songs at wilcoworld.net/shows.

Chicano Batman (October 23, Brooklyn Bowl) Holy Bowl return, Batman! The LA-based quartet has been brewing up badass psychedelic soul for more than a decade, and we still want more.

Erykah Badu (October 24, Craig Ranch Amphitheater) She might not release new music very often, but the way she changes up her classic material onstage, she doesn’t really have to. If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a hundred times: Never miss Ms. Badu.

Omar Apollo (October 25, Brooklyn Bowl) Frank Ocean. D’Angelo. Bootsy Collins. Lovelorn singer-songwriter Omar Apollo draws inspiration from those iconic artists and others to form a funky, soulful sound of his own.

Phish (October 28-31, MGM Grand Garden Arena) Phish went a decade between Las Vegas shows (2004 to 2014), but since returning, the Vermont quartet has firmly re-established its close connection to our town. In ’14, ’16 and ’18, the improv-rock heroes performed one of their beloved “costume” sets here on Halloween (they also did so back in 1998), and they’re set to renew the tradition again on the fourth of four more nights at their favorite local venue. (Note: Proof of vaccination or negative test will be required to get the goods in person; others can livestream.) And when the encores end, the party doesn’t have to stop, with the Disco Biscuits (October 28-30 at Brooklyn Bowl), Grateful Shred (October 28-29 at 24 Oxford) and Pink Talking Phish (October 30-31 at 24 Oxford) holding down the jam aftershow circuit. –Spencer Patterson

Jinjer (October 31, House of Blues) Trick or treat? How about some proggy Ukrainian metal in your goody bag, with bonus treats from openers Suicide Silence and All Hail the Yeti?

Raekwon, Ghostface & GZA (November 6, Brooklyn Bowl) With apologies to Method Man, if we could handpick a trio to rep for the full Wu-Tang Clan in concert, this would probably be it.

The Rolling Stones (November 6, Allegiant Stadium) What could be a final chance to catch one of rock ’n’ roll’s most enduring traditions will double as a chance to pay tribute to longtime Stones drummer Charlie Watts, who died on August 24. –Spencer Patterson & Amber Sampson

Above & Beyond will return to Vegas for one of the biggest dance music events of the year, its Anjunafamily Reunion Tour at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
