Lyle Lovett, the four-time Grammy winner who always makes it a point to play Colorado, was added this week to the already-packed lineup of the 37th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival, June 17-20. He joins Alison Krauss & Union Station, Sam Bush Band, Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer, Yonder Mountain String Band, Brandi Carlile, Leftover Salmon, Josh Ritter and many more.

Carrie Underwood has added a June 4 show at Colorado Springs’ World Arena to her Colorado swing, which already includes a June 3 show at Broomfield’s 1stBank Center. Tickets for the June 4 concert with Craig Morgan and Sons of Sylvia are on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. ($35-$55, TicketsWest)
The Eagles’ “Long Road Out of Eden” tour, which continues to milk the multiplatinum country-rockers’ 2007 album of the same name, plays the Pepsi Center on May 20. Tickets are on sale Monday. ($60-$185, TicketHorse)
Public Image Ltd. will return to the U.S. for the first time in nearly two decades for a tour, including an April 24 show at the Ogden Theatre. Fronted by former Sex Pistols leader John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten), the genre-blurring band is wending its way around the continent to celebrate last year’s string of U.K. reunion shows. And wouldn’t you be happy to be alive if you were Johnny Rotten? Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($39.50, Ticketmaster)
Julian Casablancas returns to Denver for the first time without his main gig, the Strokes, to promote his so-so solo album “Phrazes for the Young.” Casablancas is an unpredictable showman — sometimes laconic and middling, sometimes on fire — so expect the unexpected at this concert. Tickets for the April 21 Ogden show are on sale at 10 a.m. today. ($25-$30, Ticketmaster)
OK Go, whose gimmicky viral videos are far more interesting than the band’s actual music, will play the Bluebird Theater on April 14 with Earl Greyhound and the Booze. Also announced this week for the Bluebird: Split Second Massacre (March 31), Green River Ordinance (April 5), the B Foundation with Pigeon John (April 15), Politic with Sofo, My Orange Crush and Everfound (April 17) and Mono with the Twilight Sad (May 15). Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. today. (Various prices, Ticketmaster)
