Avicii Homecoming Show at Barton Hall, 8 p.m. on Saturday:  Cornellians showed Avicii some Superlove, when tickets to his Homecoming show sold out in a record 35 minutes. The Swedish D.J. and record producer is best-known for his electro-synth tracks. Already one of the most recognized D.J.s in Europe, Avicii has steadily been gaining popularity in the U.S. as well, thanks to his radio-friendly hit “Levels” and current North American tour. For those lucky enough to procure those tickets, the Cornell Concert Commission promises a night of glowstick mania and raucous excitement. — Charley Du

Rusted Root at The Haunt, 9 p.m. on Wednesday: You may only know them for their mind-bending and catchy 1995 hit, “Send Me On My Way”  — if you don’t know it, don’t look it up, for it will haunt your dreams forever.  But Rusted Root offers more than simple one-hit-wonder nostalgia. Drawing from a potent blend of African, Native American, and Latin American influences, Rusted Root has sold three million albums worldwide. The band’s music has appeared in films like “Ice Age” and “Matilda.”  Doors open at 8 p.m. — Sam Bromer

Glee Club Homecoming Concert at Bailey Hall, 8 p.m. on Saturday: Didn’t get tickets to Avicii? The Cornell University Glee Club offers a happy alternative.

The Hangovers will also be making an appearance.  — Meredith Joyce
