The big gigs: Taylor Swift, Culture Club & B-52's

Her Reputation Stadium Tour has already broken her own record for biggest grossing concert tour by a woman — and she still has three months to go. Always known for her ambitious, wow-inducing stage productions, the country princess-turned-pop megastar is focusing heavily this time on material from her 2017 "Reputation" album, accompanied by fireworks, fountains and snakes. Well, inflatable snakes. Swift also sprinkles in different early career favorites each show as well as her pop smashes "Shake It Off" and "Bad Blood." Opening are British pop star Charli XCX and "Havana" hitmaker Camila Cabello, who was just named MTV's artist of the year at the VMAs. (7 p.m. Fri.-Sat. U.S. Bank Stadium, $47.50-$725, ticketmaster.com)

At Culture Club's triumphant 2016 comeback show at the Myth, the still delightfully outrageous Boy George (pictured) offered some new songs and promised a new Culture Club album. That project apparently was scrapped but a new record is reportedly in the works. Meanwhile, Culture Club can revisit "Karma Chameleon," "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and other oldies on this tour of '80s MTV favorites. The kitschy and catchy B-52's, those beloved new-wavers from the late '70s, made an MTV slash with "Love Shack" in '89 and "Roam" in '90. Last year at the Minnesota Zoo, the colorful B-52's were still suitably effervescent. Opening is Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins, remembered for 1983's "Hold Me Now." (6:30 p.m. Mon. State Fair grandstand, $35-$45, etix.com)
