Tickle Me Pink, a Fort Collins rock quartet, has seen more than its share of ups and downs in its short history, including a rise to local fame on the heels of a hit radio single and the death of bassist/guitarist Johnny Schou the same day its major-label debut, “Madeline,” was released almost a year ago. The band plays the Gothic Theatre on Saturday with I Hate Kate, Life in Electric and Hearts Like Lions. $12. TicketWeb

Celtic Woman brings its new show, “Isle of Hope,” to Red Rocks Amphitheatre for a pair of concerts Wednesday and Thursday — a nod toward the popularity of the Irish vocal group’s powerful, emotive harmonies. The act’s songs, from originals by composer David Downes and Brendan Graham to traditionals like “Danny Boy,” “The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun,” have become a staple of the adult contemporary music diet. $43-$110.
