THE MAVERICKS

Tuesday: After thrilling audiences at the Pantages Theatre three times, the mighty Mavericks, America's best dance band, return outdoors. Remember how the reunited 1990s retro country group ignited crowds at the Minnesota State Fair in 2012? Raul Malo and his pals have more exceptional new tunes, including "Summertime" and "All Night Long" from this year's super-satisfying "Mono," their second comeback album. Our steamy weather should be perfect for the must-see Malo, one of popular music's most well-rounded vocalists, and his Miami party kings. San Antonio's the Last Bandoleros open. (7:30 p.m. Tue., Weesner Amphitheater, Minnesota Zoo, 13000 Zoo Blvd., Apple Valley. $42-$58.50. suemclean.com/zoo)
