FRIDAY
Moody Blues
The iconic British prog-art-symphonic rock band will celebrate its 50th anniversary in May — and almost as impressive is the fact that one original and two near-original members are still touring. Singer-guitarist Justin Hayward, drummer Graeme Edge and bassist John Lodge will be backed by four additional musicians to re-create the lush sound of chestnuts such as "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon."
8 p.m. March 21. $37-$87. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-855-285-8499.
Tyler, the Creator
Even though he was arrested at the South By Southwest festival in Austin last weekend for allegedly inciting a riot at one of his shows, the rapper born Tyler Okonma was out on bond and ready to bring his sometimes controversial songs to another slew of fans this week. Tyler is also the creator of the L.A.-based hip-hop collective known as Odd Future. Don’t expect to see Atlanta’s B.o.B. at his show, though. The hometown rhyme-spinner was dissed by Tyler in his song “Yonkers.” But so were Bruno Mars and Paramore’s Hayley Williams, so … good company.
9 p.m. March 21. Sold out. The Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St., Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
SATURDAY
Crosby, Stills and Nash
What doesn’t kill David Crosby definitely makes him stronger. A few weeks after enduring heart surgery, Crosby kicked off CSN’s tour on schedule earlier this month and, along with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, has been making audiences swoon with nostalgic throwbacks that include “Southern Cross,” “Our House” and “Teach Your Children.”
8 p.m. March 22. $52-$92. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-855-285-8499.
George Strait
With Sheryl Crow. This is it, folks. The final go-around before the cowboy rides away from the stage for good with a blowout in Texas this spring. Strait alone would be worth the ticket price, but he’s chosen a worthy opener in Crow, who is making her own push into the country arena.
7:30 p.m. March 22. $79.50-$101.50. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
SUNDAY
Steve Earle and Shawn Colvin
The longtime friends will appear for Songs and Stories, Together Onstage, with a plan to swap songs, sing duets and tell stories. Colvin’s most recent album, “All Fall Down,” arrived in 2012, while Earle’s “The Low Highway” dropped last year and earned a Grammy nomination for the song “Invisible.”
7 p.m. March 23. $25-$76.50. Symphony Hall, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 404-733-5000.
THURSDAY
Aaron Neville
Postponed from January (remember the snow?), the concert now features Georgia artist Wycliffe Gordon opening instead of the originally scheduled Dirty Dozen Brass Band. When we talked to Neville prior to the January date, he said fans can expect to hear "a little bit of everything. We go from one thing to another and spread a little bit of (all of my music) in." Neville's most recent album, "My True Story," is a collection of doo-wop songs.
With Wycliffe Gordon. 8 p.m. March 27. $26-$86. Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, 2800 Cobb Galleria Parkway, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
