If you are a live music fan, this is pretty much your week.  A rundown of what’s on tap:

Tonight: Weezer, Angels and Airwaves and Tokyo Police Club at Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie

Wednesday: Janet Jackson at the American Airlines Center

Thursday: Ben Folds at the Palladium Ballroom; Jason Mraz at Nokia

Friday: R.E.M. with opening act Dallas’ Old 97s at Nokia; Ray Lamontagne at the Majestic Theatre

Saturday: Edgefest 18 featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Fort Worth’s the Toadies and others at Pizza Hut Park; Alanis Morissette at Nokia; Willie Nelson at Billy Bob’s

Sunday: Tina Turner at the AAC; Randy Travis at Nokia.

There’s pretty much something for everyone in there somewhere., and I am having a tough time remembering such an action-packed week. If I had to pick one show to go to, I say gimmie Weezer. Here’s hoping they’re back to playing stuff off of Pinkerton.
