Every week, we present a curated list of live music in a wide range of genres around the Valley. This week’s column features the world’s oldest band (we think), the originator of “Antmusic,” and one of the bands that played a significant role in the 21st-century post-punk revival.

The Rolling Stones
More than 60 years after the band’s inception, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood continue defying the odds and are hitting the road again, this time to support their excellent new album, Hackney Diamonds. Ironically, their latest tour is sponsored by AARP. 7 p.m., $93-$443, State Farm Stadium, 1 Cardinals Dr., Glendale, 602-379-0102, rollingstones.com
May 8
Interpol
Though the New York post-punk band has a new album to promote, the well-received The Other Side of Make Believe, they’re also celebrating two decades of their landmark album Antics, so here’s hoping they play the fan-favorite track “Slow Hands.” 6:25 p.m. $50-$55, Mesa Amphitheatre, 263 N. Center St., Mesa, 480- 644-2560, mesaamp.com
