FRIDAY
Tegan and Sara
About a decade ago, the twin sisters from Canada transitioned from acoustic roots-folkies to indie rockers. In the past few years, Tegan and Sara have morphed into a couple of the most underrated pop stars in existence. Their 2013 album “Heartthrob” started the movement, which continues on their excellent eighth album, “Love You to Death,” released this year.
With Torres. 8 p.m. Nov. 11. $36. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
SATURDAY
Kelsea Ballerini
Fresh from her summer stint as host of the fun throwback show “Greatest Hits” with Arsenio Hall, the country darling is still riding the success of her 2015 debut, “The First Time,” which has spawned the No. 1 hits “Peter Pan,” “Dibs” and “Love Me Like You Mean It.” The album’s fourth — and final — single, “Yeah Boy,” hit radio last month.
With Morgan Evans. 8 p.m. Nov. 12. $21. Buckhead Theatre, 3110 Roswell Road, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
Sheila E.
The still-awesome percussionist has been thrust in the spotlight this year because of her close relationship with Prince (expect a tribute song or two). She’s also expected to perform the new song “Girl Meets Boy,” which she wrote a month after his April death.
9 p.m. Nov. 12. $34-$39. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
MONDAY
Pet Shop Boys
For this Super tour, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will unveil new tracks from their “Super” album, released earlier this year, as well as provide fans with a reminder of their vital electro-pop catalog with hits “West End Girls,” “Suburbia,” “It’s a Sin” and more.
8 p.m. Nov. 14. $42-$105. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

Pentatonix
To commemorate the release of their second holiday album, “A Pentatonix Christmas,” which arrived last month, as well as perform material from their self-titled debut of nonfestive material, the Texas quintet specializing in a cappella songs is hitting the road for more than a month on a tour that began Oct. 17. With Us the Duo and Abi Ann.
8 p.m. Nov. 16. $29.50-$75. Infinite Energy Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth. 1-888-929-7849, infiniteenergycenter.com.
David Crosby
The legendary musician will be joined by Snarky Puppy’s Michael League, New York singer Becca Stevens and Canadian songstress Michelle Willis for his Lighthouse tour, named for the album — his fifth solo effort — that arrived last month. Cros also is an active Twitter participant, so if you have a question, pose it to him in 140 characters or less.
