Roger Waters will return in a big way when he performs Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety at the Coachella festival in Indio, Calif., on April 27. Three days later he hits the Pepsi Center to do the same before moving on to a handful of U.S. and European dates. Should we count ourselves lucky? Depends on how badly you want to hear the 64-year-old perform “Money” and other aging hits. Tickets for the April 30 show are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($55-$125, Ticketmaster)
Emmylou Harris and John Prine are a dream bill for lovers of classic country-rock and folk. The legendary vocalist and singer-songwriter will play Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 6. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Monday. ($49.50- $55, Ticketmaster)
Chevelle’s “Vena Sera” took knocks for failing to venture much outside the band’s aggro-rock sound. Tickets for the April 2 show at the Fillmore with Finger Eleven and God or Julie are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($23-$25, Ticketmaster) Dilated Peoples briefly flirted with mainstream success on 2004’s “This Way,” a Kanye West collaboration, but mostly the California hip-hop group has remained underground. Tickets for its March 2 Bluebird Theater show are on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. ($22.50, Ticketmaster)
Nada Surf last played Denver’s CityLights Pavilion, a venue that’s allegedly on temporary hiatus. The band will play the Gothic Theatre on April 1 with Sea Wolf. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($16-$18, Ticketmaster)
Dimmu Borgir, or Norse for “dark cities,” lives up to its name with menacing Norwegian black metal and hilarious song titles (“Foreshadowing Furnace,” anyone?) The band plays the Ogden Theatre on April 19 with Behemoth and Keep of Kalessin. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. ($22-$25, Ticketmaster) Justin Townes Earle, like Jakob Dylan, hopes to make a name apart from his famous father (Steve Earle). Fortunately, Earle’s jaunty country-folk carves a different path from his pop’s music. Earle plays the Larimer Lounge on March 25 with McCarthy Trenching. Tickets are on sale now. ($10, )
The Whigs have finally picked up real momentum, despite having toured with a who’s-who list of indie rockers and getting a push from Dave Matthews’ ATO label in 2005. The buzzed- about act plays the Larimer Lounge on March 6 with the Spinto Band. Tickets are on sale now. ($8, )
Morcheeba’s hypnotic tunes made for perfect dorm room soundtracks in the band’s ’90s heyday. The trip-pop act plays the Gothic Theatre on April 4. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($25, Ticketmaster)
Grand Archives, a mellow Sub Pop group led by ex-Band of Horses and Carissa’s Wierd songwriter Mat Brooke, will play the Hi-Dive on March 4 with Three Cheers Faraday and Roger, Roll. Tickets are on sale now. ($10, hi-dive.com)
