Bon Iver
If you’ve ever listened to the northern Wisconsin group’s “Skinny Love” off their album For Emma, Forever Ago, you’d be justified in your belief that you’re in for a quiet night under the stars. Though Justin Vernon’s guitar is typically acoustic, the songwriter, who’s collaborated with Taylor Swift on her last two albums, rocks it like he’s in a heavy metal band. 6:30 p.m., $65-$85, Mesa Amphitheatre, 263 N. Center St., Mesa, 480- 644-2560, mesaamp.com.

The legendary Latin pop singer, who has collaborated with everyone from Enrique Iglesias to Marc Anthony, kicks off his world tour in downtown Phoenix. 8 p.m., $34.50-$244.50, Footprint Center, 201 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix, 602-379-7800, footprintcenter.com.

Yachtley Crew
Led by Philly Ocean, this Los Angeles-based six-piece isn’t here to play sea shanties to landlocked Arizonans. They play the smooth songs of the ’70s they love, including Billy Joel and The Bee Gees, with no trace of sarcasm. $30-$60, 9 p.m., Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe, 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.

Billie Eilish
By the time the 20-year-old “Bad Guy” singer arrives in the Valley, she could be two awards away from EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) status if she wins the Oscar for the theme for the James Bond film No Time to Die. 7:30 p.m. $35.50-$145.50. Gila River Arena, 29400 W. Maryland Ave., Glendale, 623-772-3200, gilariverarena.com.
