MISC: ANGRY F*GS Its only terrorism if it doesnt work. When it works, we call it a revolution. Thats the tagline for Topher Paynes dark comedy about left-wing terrorism, which will be on stage during Vegas Pride and the run up to midterm electionsdeliberate timing. Now with gay rights under attack throughout the country, and the insane amount of dog whistling from our right-wing political leaders, were showing solidarity with our queer community with this hysterical and provocative play that unfortunately becomes more relevant with each news cycle, Artistic Director Troy Heard said in a statement. Starring Andrew Young and Ray Winters, Angry F*gs centers around two best friends who find recourse through rage after seeing their rightsand those of other gay mentossed to the side and stepped on one too many times. Its a wild ride of sabotage, assassination and fear. Through October 23, dates & times vary, $40, majesticrepertory.com. Shannon Miller

MUSIC: WALLOWS Those who follow the Gen Zers of Hollywood might recognize Dylan Minnettes work. The LA actor has starred in some of TVs most hotly tipped productions, including Netflixs hit teen drama 13 Reasons Why and blockbuster slasher films like Dont Breathe and the new Scream. But between those silver-screen gigs, Minnette also fronts Wallows, an indie rock band with contagious hooks and windows-down West Coast flavor. The trios debut, Nothing Happens, soared up the streaming charts in 2019, thanks in part to a hit collaboration with singer-songwriter Clairo on Are You Bored Yet? and star treatment from producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Future Islands). Wallows sophomore LP, Marchs Tell Me That Its Over, has all a similar recipe for success, with Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Adele) producing and Minnette evolving as a leading force.

MUSIC: THE EVENT Pitbull and H.E.R. just signed on for this second-year fundraising gala and open-to-the-public concert event that benefits the Shaquille ONeal Foundations mission to support local communities. They join an already stellar lineup that includes Maren Morris, Maroon 5 and comedian John Mulaney (who recently canceled a Vegas tour date at T-Mobile Arena). With his fast-casual eatery Big Chicken and his Wynn Nightlife residency as DJ Diesel, Shaqs local presence continues to grow, and hes giving back to Vegas by kicking proceeds from The Event to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and Communities in Schools of Nevada. If youre not one of those well-heeled types buying tables and bidding on auction items, standard concert ticket prices start at $50 so you can still enjoy the big-name talent and pitch in for the cause. 8:45 p.m., $50-$525, MGM Grand Garden Arena, axs.com.

PARTY: CAMRON & JADAKISS The DJ Franzen-anchored House Party series at Drais reaches a frenzied climax Sunday when two emcees from the upcoming 3 Headed Monster tour join forces onstage. One of the most buzzed-about battles among last years Verzuz streaming events matched the Lox against Dipset (aka the Diplomats), a celebratory collision of late 90s NYC rap. Now the lyrical leaders of each crew will revisit their respective hits at Drais as a sort of warmup for the tour, which starts October 19 in Connecticut with Bad Boy hitmaker Mase joining in on the fun. But when you have countless classic tracks from Camron and Jadakisstwo hip-hop artists who make albums, not just memorable hitstwo is too much. 10 p.m., $40-$60, Drais Nightclub, draisgroup.com.

PARTY: THE GLITCH MOB From the day The Glitch Mob released debut album Drink the Sea back in the summer of 2010, the sound of the LA-based electronic triostill Boreta (Justin Boreta), edit (Edward Ma) and Ooah (Josh Mayer)has been a tough one to pin down. Their bass sound nods toward dubstep, but they never fully engage with the wob-wob-wob cliches of that form, keeping only its insane lower end rumble. Their name obviously includes the word glitch, but compared to some of their contemporaries Pretty Lights, say, or Nobukazu Takemurathey dont lean too far into glitch either. And though their hard rock-like intensity could place them in the industrial realm, their stuff is too pretty for the rivetheads. (And the issue is further confused by their latest single The Flavor, which is an early-90s-era techno throwback that Messiah, Moby or The Prodigy would be proud to claim.) Suffice to say, The Glitch Mobs sound is hard-driving and melodic, and its gonna move you one way or anothereither physically, or toward nostalgia for old-school techno. Maybe both at once. With Anna Morgan, lwkylky, 10 p.m., $20. Discopussy, discopussydtlv.com. Geoff Carter
