MUSIC
Katy Perry
It’s been a rough 18 months for Katy Perry since she wrapped her residency at Resorts World. She quit her “American Idol” gig after seven years. She was dragged for working with Dr. Luke on her feminist anthem “Woman’s World” — despite Kesha having accused the songwriter and producer of sexual assault. And she was roasted for her recent Blue Origin flight that even had the social media team at Wendy’s asking if she could be sent back to space. Still, the KatyCats probably will be out in force when Perry brings her “Lifetimes Tour” to T-Mobile Arena at 7 p.m. Saturday. Tickets start at $58; axs.com.

MUSIC
Eve 6
Social media made Eve 6 relevant in ways it hadn’t been since frontman Max Collins first sang about wanting to put his tender heart in a blender. Two decades after the band’s peak, Collins came out firing, churning up fake feuds with other late-’90s bands and even Patton Oswalt. But that was back when Twitter was Twitter. Now, your best chance to catch up with the band is when Eve 6 performs at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Side Lawn at Sunset Station. Tickets start at $43.50; ticketmaster.com.
