Fall A&E: Your guide to this season`s top music, theater, comedy, art and more

Anderson .Paak, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizzard, Tems, Tears for Fears

Anderson .Paak (September 28, BleauLive Theater) Some know him as DJ Pee .Wee, others see him as the Soul Train reincarnate in R&B duo Silk Sonic. But before all that, Anderson .Paak blasted his way up the charts as the funky, alternative rapper, producer and drummer, penning earworms like “Come Down.” The Free Nationals will reunite with .Paak for a rare performance of his 2016 album, Malibu, played in full. —Amber Sampson

Still Woozy with Gus Dapperton and PawPaw Rod (September 30, Theater at Virgin) The solo project of Sven Eric Gamsky, Still Woozy’s heavily prescribed dose of garage pop swirls with ear candy hooks and the euphoric embrace of summer love. His chill catalog has earned him the right to collaborate with Remi Wolf and Omar Apollo, and also co-write and co-produce “Too Late” off of SZA’s SOS album. Need we say more?—AS

Tems (September 29, Theater at Virgin) A darling of the Nigerian R&B scene, Tems captivated listeners with velvety vocals on Wizkid’s sleekly produced Afrobeat hit “Essence.” We’ve been jonesing for her debut album, Born in the Wild, ever since. On her first world tour, Tems sets out to make an even greater impression. —AS

Conan Gray with Maisie Peters (October 11, the Chelsea) Bearing a striking resemblance to a modern-day Disney prince, Conan Gray’s restoring the voice of expressionistic pop for his generation. The 25-year-old singer amassed a fan base for his stinging accounts of unrequited love (“Heather”) and his biting wit toward the occasional ex (“Maniac”). See him in a mid-sized venue while you can. He won’t stay there long. —AS

Hans Zimmer Live (October 12, T-Mobile Arena) The Oscar-winning composer of the scores to The Lion King, Dune, Inception and more has achieved rockstar-like standing on music streaming services. Onstage, he proves that he deserves it. Zimmer’s large, insanely gifted ensemble and winning setlist of straight-up bangers will melt you in your seat. —Geoff Carter

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard(November 8, PH Live) They’ve made prog records. They’ve made psychedelic records. They’ve made electronic records. Truly, only two things tie King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard’s discography together: The Melbourne band’s eagerness to try anything … and their contagious joy in jamming it all out on stage. —GC

Tears For Fears (October 30-November 2, BleauLive Theater) The amazing thing about Tears For Fears isn’t the sheer number of hits they racked up in the 1980s, including “Shout” and “Mad World.” It’s that Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith don’t behave like a nostalgia act. Years after their heyday, they come on like they still want to rule the world.—GC
