Every week, we present a curated list of live music in a wide range of genres around the Valley, and this week’s column is a feast for the eyes and ears with a movie singalong and a song that was in a movie, sort of.
November 20 November 22 November 22 November 22 November 25
Aqua
The Europop group’s version of their hit “Barbie Girl” didn’t make the soundtrack of the movie based on the Mattel doll, so they’re taking it out on the road instead. 8 p.m., $50, The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix, 480-659-1641, livenation.com
LP
The singer-songwriter, who uses they/them pronouns, is perhaps best known as one of the scribes of the Rhianna hit “Cheers (Let’s Drink to That),” but the release of their seventh full-length album Love Lines should change that. It’s a collection of sunny, anthemic songs that display their confidence in who they are. 8 p.m., $37.50, The Van Buren, 401 W. Van Buren St., Phoenix, 480-659-1641, livenation.com
