Of Monsters and Men
The anthemic Icelandic rock band that broke big with "Little Talks" in 2011 is back on tour touting its third full-length album, "Fever Dream." Co-leaders Nanna Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson have turned into rather sophisticated somber-pop songwriters but also threw some dancey numbers into the new collection. They're playing the last in what was an unequivocally successful season of concerts outside Surly. Baltimore's dreamy Lower Dens opens. (6:30 p.m. Sat., Surly Brewing Festival Field, 520 Malcolm Av. SE., Mpls., $45, eTix.com.)
CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
Vince Gill
On this summer's "Okie," the Oklahoma-reared country vet gets contemplative, waxing eloquent on "A World Without Haggard" and "Forever Changed," a graceful tune about sexual abuse. In concert, the 21-time Grammy winner with the heavenly voice, hot guitar licks and quick sense of humor is surveying his entire career, from the peppy "Liza Jane" to the regretful "I Still Believe in You" — but probably nothing from his concert stint with the Eagles. By the by, Gill is featured prominently in Ken Burns' new "Country Music." Aussie singer-songwriter Jedd Hughes opens. (7:30 p.m. Fri., Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $39.50-$89.50, 1-800-982-2787 or ticketmaster.com)
