4/1: The Chainsmokers at the Coca-Cola Music
The Grammy-winning electro-pop duo will also return in early May on the 40-city Memories … Do Not Open Tour, named for their forthcoming full-length debut, which has to suck for anyone who purchased tickets for the other show. The duo spent 12 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot with quadruple-platinum “Closer,” last year’s longest run at No. 1. Their other hits include the platinum “#Selfie” and the multi-platinum smashes “Roses” and “Don’t Let Me Down.” Their latest single, “Something Just Like This,” is their sixth Top 10 appearance on the Hot 100.

4/2: Aerosmith and Macklemore with Ryan Lewis at Capital One JamFest
Aerosmith launched their career in the ’70s, rocking arenas while ruling the airwaves with singles as timeless as “Sweet Emotion,” “Dream On,” “Last Child,” “Walk This Way,” “Back in the Saddle” and a cover of the Beatles’ “Come Together.” They went on to stage an unexpected, multi-platinum comeback after bottoming out in the ’80s and getting a slicker version of their mojo back on 1987’s “Permanent Vacation,” which added three hit singles — “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Angel” and “Rag Doll” — to their legacy. Subsequent hits include “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” “What it Takes,” “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” and “Jaded.” They’re joined by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Blink-182 and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats.
