Pussy Riot
St. Paul landed the second stop on the balaclava-masked Russian punk-rock feminist protest performance troupe's first-ever U.S. tour, so it's hard to know what to expect. At least we know the tour is still on, after two of the members were purportedly missing after being held by police in Crimea last week — another headline-grabbing clash with authorities like the anti-Putin church stunt that landed two other members two-year jail terms in Moscow. Sounds fun. (9 p.m. Sat., Turf Club, St. Paul, sold out.)
Ja Rule & Ashanti
It's been a decade and a half since these two longtime cronies topped the pop charts together with "Always on Time" and "Mesmerize," around when Ashanti also landed her own big hits "Rock Wit U" and "Foolish." It'll probably be a few more decades before Ja Rule lives down the disastrous Fyre Festival, which left thousands of young partyers stranded on an island. They've both been earning good marks so far on their co-headlining reunion tour. (8 p.m. Sat., Myth, 3090 Southlawn Dr., Maplewood, all ages, $50-$70, mythlive.com.)
