3OH!3 is on fire right now, and the flames are catching. The Boulder-bred electro-pop/crunk duo, noted for its infectious beats and snotty lyrics, will return triumphantly to the Front Range for a headlining show at the Fillmore Auditorium — its biggest Colorado show yet.

Tickets for 3OH!3’s Dec. 19 concert at the Fillmore are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday — and at this price, they’ll go fast. ($21, ) “When Elmo Grows Up” is the latest themed production from Sesame Street Live, a colorful, kid-oriented stage show with Broadway-style musical numbers and costumes.
