Call them power-pop, punkpop, rock-pop. It really doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that this quartet of Australian cuties has skyrockete­d from YouTube nobodies to openers for One Direction to amphitheat­er headliners in the span of three years. It also wouldn’t matter if they were any good, considerin­g their main audience is non-discrimina­ting teen girls. But, guess what? They are. Songs such as “She Looks So Perfect,” “Amnesia” and “Good Girls” won’t be remembered for lyrical depth, but their taut catchiness is undeniable.

With Hey Violet. 7:30 p.m. $25-$69.50. Aaron’s Amphitheat­re at Lakewood, 2002 Lakewood Way, Atlanta. 800-7453000, livenation.com.
