WHAT NOT TO MISS THIS WEEK

The festival Dublin Sci-Fi Film Fest

A Saturday screening of the original Planet of the Apes and a matinee airing (also tomorrow) of 50s classic The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms are among the highlights as this celebration of fantastical, futuristic cinema returns. See dublinscifi.com.

Friday, Saturday, Light House Cinema, Dublin

The gig The Go! Team

Good times are always guaranteed with this British outfit whose music blends samples, retro grooves and indie guitars to joyous effect. Fifth album Semicircle reunites songwriter Ian Parton with his regular crew of collaborators, including rapper/vocalist Ninja (right). But it’s in the live context that the ensemble truly spreads its wings. Thursday, Button

Factory, Dublin

The musical Jesus Christ Superstar

The Andrew Lloyd Webber/

Tim Rice rock opera is revived by Limerick Music Society. Chronicling the days leading up to the crucifixion, the musical recasts Christ’s final moments as a battle of wills with the scheming Judas — a struggle soundtracked by more psychedelic 70s song and dance numbers than you could shake a holy water sprinkler at.

Thursday, Friday, University Concert Hall Limerick
