MUSIC PICKS

TODAY Wilco

Earlier this month, Jeff Tweedy and the gang released “Ode to Joy,” their first album since 2016’s “Schmilco” and the band’s return from a yearlong hiatus. This is also their first North American tour in two years.

7:30 p.m. Oct. 18. $35.50$179.50. Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park, 4469 Stella Drive NW, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

Jackyl

Led by the irrepressible Jesse James Dupree, who still lives in the Atlanta area and spends a good chunk of his year showcasing his business acumen, Jackyl continues to overload the amps with heavy ‘90s-era rockers such as “The Lumberjack” and “Push Comes to Shove.” 8 p.m. Oct. 18. $22.50$45. Buckhead Theatre, 3110 Roswell Road, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

Post Malone

As part of the Super Bowl hoopla this year, the rapper-singer opened for Aerosmith in the same venue he will now headline. (He also commanded the main stage at Music Midtown in 2018.) “Posty,” as he’s known to fans, just released his third album, “Hollywood’s Bleeding.”

With Swae Lee and Tyla Yaweh. 8 p.m. Oct. 18. $94.50-$480. State Farm Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

SATURDAY Carrie Underwood

Country’s endearing princess announced her “Cry Pretty” tour more than a year ago but didn’t launch until May so she could settle in with the birth of her second child.

Like her 2016 “Storyteller” tour that played Duluth, Underwood will employ an in-the-round stage, allowing fans an unobstructed view.

With Maddie & Tae and Runaway June. 7 p.m. Oct. 19. $49-$340. State Farm Arena, 1 Philips Drive, Atlanta. 1-800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.
