FRIDAY
Demi Lovato
From Disney moppet to “X-Factor” judge to author (her “Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year” topped the New York Times best-seller list) to straight-up pop star, Lovato has crammed a lot into her 21 years. And that’s not counting the personal struggles she’s overcome (bulimia, cocaine habit), making her a worthy role model to teens with similar issues. Lovato’s Neon Lights tour launched Feb. 9 and the shows, of course, include her hits “Heart Attack” and “Give Your Heart a Break.” Fans also will hear her belt “Let it Go,” the Oscar-nominated ballad from the animated Disney film “Frozen.”
With Little Mix and Fifth Harmony. 7:30 p.m. Feb. 21. $29.50-$65. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
Robin Thicke
Thicke couldn’t possibly have imagined that the past six months of his life would include Miley Cyrus grinding against him with a foam finger and ’70s icons Chicago joining him onstage at the Grammy Awards. But that craziness is sometimes the outcome of having a ubiquitous hit, as Thicke did last summer with “Blurred Lines.” Now on tour, he can remind people he had a pretty sturdy — albeit more under-the-radar — career before he became a pop culture fixture, and that the rest of “Blurred Lines,” the album, is quite great.
With K. Michelle and DJ Cassidy. 7:45 p.m. Feb. 21. $60.60-$116.40. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-855-285-8499.
Steven Curtis Chapman
For more than 25 years, Chapman has reigned as one of the pre-eminent figures in contemporary Christian music. After a few years of lackluster sales, Chapman experienced a bit of a revival last year with the release of his 16th studio album, “The Glorious Unfolding,” which hit No. 27 on the Billboard 200 album chart and No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart. The album contains Chapman’s signature mix of folk-tinged pop and spiritual messages.
With the Afters and Josh Wilson. 7 p.m. Feb. 21. $26 and $55. Piedmont Church, 570 Piedmont Road, Marietta. 1-800-965-9324, www.itickets.com.
SATURDAY
Jennifer Nettles
For her first solo outing, Nettles will be backed by a four-piece band as she supports her recently released "That Girl." But don't think she's totally dismissed her Sugarland roots. "I'm going out to support the album, so the majority of songs (in the set) will be from that," Nettles said in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I'll be peppering in some Sugarland songs in a different way so they feel fresh and new, and, from my usual fun book of covers, there will be some cool choices in there as well."
With Brandy Clark. 8 p.m. Feb. 22. $26.50-$61.50. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., Atlanta. 1-855-285-8499.
MONDAY
Eagles
Much like the Jimmy Buffett followers — but far less garish — ardent Eagles fans know exactly what to expect from the band’s show, and that’s precisely what keeps bringing them back. The California rockers kicked off their History of the Eagles tour last year in conjunction with the Showtime special/DVD of the same name. Shows have been formatted to blanket their extensive repertoire, with two sets (and usually, two encores) covering such ’70s-FM radio staples as “Witchy Woman,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Take It to the Limit,” “Heartache Tonight” and, yes, “Hotel California.”
8 p.m. Feb. 24. $53-$194. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
WEDNESDAY
Imagine Dragons
Since their thrilling, mud-soaked display at Music Midtown last fall, the Las Vegas rockers have continued to mine the success of their 2012 "Night Visions" album, which has now sold nearly 2 million copies. The band — which includes Atlanta native Daniel Platzman on drums — won a Grammy (best rock performance for "Radioactive") and thoroughly ignited that awards show's stage with its incendiary mash-up of "Radioactive" with rapper Kendrick Lamar. No worries that their breakthrough, "It's Time," would be a one-hit wonder.
With the Naked and Famous and Nico Vega. 7 p.m. Feb. 26. $29.50-$49.50. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000.
Teddy Geiger
In the mid-2000s, when he was barely out of teenhood, Geiger became a heartthrob thanks to exposure on VH1’s “In Search of the Partridge Family.” But even with his floppy hair and puppy dog eyes, there was no denying the songcraft in minor radio hits “For You I Will (Confidence)” and “These Walls.” He made a few more acting forays (anyone else remember the charming “Love Monkey”?), but Geiger continued his music career with a string of recordings. Last year brought the album “The Last Fears,” but, interestingly, Geiger’s greatest visibility recently was on DJ/electronic dance music kingpin Tiesto’s 2013 album “Clublife 3 Stockholm,” with the song “Love and Run.”
With Russell Howard. 8 p.m. Feb. 26. $14 (advance), $18 (at the door) and $70 (reserved table of four). Eddie’s Attic, 515-B N. McDonough St., Decatur. 1-877-725-8849.
