Bela Fleck is back touring with his original lineup, the Flecktones, an incarnation in which the banjo wizard plays anything but traditional bluegrass. Flanked by innovative bassist Victor Wooten, Fleck makes progressive music that bridges the gap between jazz fusion, jam bands and Appalachian bluegrass. The group wowed many of us at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival earlier this year, which you can revisit in its entirety at . Catch the tour at the Ogden Theatre on April 8. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday.($35, )
Big Gigantic was once considered a local band, but the Boulder duo has made a national name for itself with major festival appearances coast-to-coast over the past year.

Collins, Boulder, Denver) before wrapping up at the Ogden Theatre on Jan. 21. Tickets, for the Ogden show, are on sale at 10 a.m. today.($22, )
Puscifer is the experimental music and comedy side project of Tool/A Perfect Circle front man Maynard James Keenan. Known for his ventures into multimedia performance with the aforementioned hard rock bands, Keenan’s newest group is more of a variety-hour spectacle than a traditional concert. The roadshow will hit Denver’s Paramount Theatre for one night only on Nov. 10. Tickets are on sale today at noon. Carina Round will open.($35-$45, TicketHorse)
Game was once part of hip-hop’s most exciting new crew, G-Unit, though the troubled MC quickly fell out of synch with rap mogul and group leader 50 Cent. Perhaps as a result, Game never matched the success of his 2004 debut “The Documentary,” though he still retained name recognition in the worlds of both pop and hip-hop. Touring behind his August release, “The R.E.D. Album,” Game will hit the Ogden Theatre on Nov. 3. Tickets are already on sale. ($29.50, )
