Pop icon Cher’s previous world tour reached 5.5 million people, so it’s a good bet the 49 North American dates of her “Dressed to Kill” jaunt are just the starting line. Her dance club-courting new album “Closer to the Truth” is packed with big, shiny pop songs that will sit alongside older hits at her May 28 Pepsi Center show. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 11. ($29.50-$160, TicketHorse)
Imagine Dragons is headlining the Pepsi Center less than five years after forming, which is an accomplishment for any band of any genre. But it makes sense when considering the Las Vegas group’s almost scientifically engineered mix of pop, rock and electronic music that has propelled singles from last year’s debut “Night Visions” to the top of Billboard’s charts. Tickets for the band’s March 15 concert are on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 11. ($29.50-$49.50, TicketHorse)
Jumpy alt- and indie-rock pioneers Pixies are returning to Denver (sans founding bassist Kim Deal) as part of a new world tour with a Feb. 13 concert at the Fillmore Auditorium. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 11. ($49.50-$55, )
New Orleans jam-jazz act Galactic will bring songs from its “Carnivale Electricos” to the Fillmore Auditorium on March 8. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 11. ($29.50-$35, )
Chris Isaak’s easy stage presence and variety-host persona will come in handy when he introduces his “Holiday Show” to the Boulder Theater on Dec. 10, featuring both his retro-flavored originals and familiar Christmas tunes. Tickets are on sale. ($50-$75, )
Hip-hop MC Lupe Fiasco often rolls through Colorado as the support for bigger acts, but the Chicago-bred rapper will headline his own show at the Ogden Theatre on Nov. 24. Tickets are on sale. ($37.50, )
Longtime British art-metal band Hawkwind has moved its Oct. 22 show at the Gothic Theatre to March 18 at the Bluebird Theater. All previously held tickets will be honored and new tickets are on sale. ($25, )
The increasingly popular Michael Jackson tribute act Who’s Bad plays the Ogden on Jan. 4. Tickets are on sale at 10 a.m. Oct. 12. ($20.75, )
