Top concerts this week include Kiss, MØ, Marc Anthony, 2Cellos and Atmosphere.

2.4: Travis Scott

The Houston rapper’s latest album, Astroworld, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200, was certified Gold in its first week of release, and follows 2016’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight as Scott’s second No. 1 album. And if that wasn’t enough, the Astroworld Tour features a fully functional roller coaster that operates above the crowd. Scott’s other claim to fame: Being Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy.

2.5: Gang of Four

Their name may say differently, but pioneering post-punkers Gang of Four have spent most of their career as a two-man mob. And until 2012, that was singer-guitarist Andy Gill and lead vocalist Jon King. The politically minded English quartet still features Gill, but now features John “Gaoler” Sterry on vocals.

2.7: KISS

The long-running, Kabuki-costumed rockers are finally (I mean, so they say) hanging it up. Calling this last run “The End of the Road” tour Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer head to Viejas Arena for one more night in San Diego filled with their trademark pyrotechnics, showmanship and arena-sized rock tunes.

2.7: Marc Anthony

The singer, actor, producer and multi-Grammy winner returns to Point Loma on his LEGACY Tour. And even if Anthony never makes a follow-up to his last album, 2013’s 3.0, the multi-faceted performer’s own legacy is well intact. He released a pair of singles recently, Está Rico with Will Smith and Bad Bunny, as well as Adicto with Prince Royce, and has sold over 12 million albums worldwide.

2.8: Destructo

Former CEO and founder of HARD Events, and current president of LiveStyle, Gary Richards has somehow still found the time to DJ quite regularly for the last 20 years.
