My Morning Jacket’s live prowess precedes the Louisville, Ky., act, and deservedly so. Less a jam band and more a hard-charging, delightful­ly shapeshift­ing indieroots group, the Jim James-led outfit will headline the FirstBank

Center for what promises to be a lively trio of New Year’s Eve performanc­es. Tickets for the Dec. 29-31 all-ages dates in Broomfield are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. Openers include The Revolution

(Dec. 29), Tune-Yards (Dec. 30) and Charles Bradley & His Extraordin­aires (Dec. 31). Tickets are $51 for Dec. 29-30 and $76 for Dec. 31, or $168 for all three days (altitudeti­ckets.com)

Not to be outdone, jam band Umphrey’s McGee will also play a trio of New Year’s Eve shows Dec. 29-31 at the Fillmore Auditorium. Tickets for Dec. 29-30 are $39.50-$45, while Dec. 31 is $79.50-$90. Three-day passes are $149.50. All shows, which are 16-and-up, are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. (Ticketmast­er)

Kesha’s first solo tour since 2013, the “Rainbow Tour,” plans to visit the Fillmore on Oct. 24. Tickets went on sale last week. ($42.50-$48, Ticketmast­er)

“An Intimate Evening With Yanni” bills itself as “pure Yanni,” meaning the long-maned composer will be performing his work only on an acoustic piano, ready to answer audience questions between songs. Tickets for the Nov. 9 concert at Buell Theatre are on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 11. ($39.50-$99.50, axs.com)

Dayton, Ohio, indie rock legends Guided by Voices are returning about a year after their last Denver visit — a lengthy set at Summit Music Hall — following the release of their new album, “How Do You Spell Heaven” (lead singer Robert Pollard’s 101st release overall). Tickets for the Oct. 25 Bluebird Theater set are on sale. ($27.50-$30.50, axs.com)
