BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY

11/7 at 8 Amid a bidding war on this melodic hip-hop group’s final album, E. 1999 Legends—a single copy was pressed and is being auctioned off starting at $1 million—the group swings by to play its career-launching 1995 LP E. 1999 Eternal front to back. $40–$100. Portage Theater, 4050 N. Milwaukee. ticketfly.com

 

JANET JACKSON

11/3, 4, and 6 at 8 After four years off the road and seven without an album, Janet Jackson mounts her Unbreakable world tour, named for her forthcoming LP. Based on early reports, the pop star is going big, delivering hit-heavy 32-song sets and previewing new material featuring Missy Elliott. Sold out. Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State. stubhub.com

LAURA STEVENSON

11/12 at 8 This New York singer-songwriter has been no stranger to Chicago in recent years—she’s played Lincoln Hall, the Abbey, Riot Fest, and at least two street fests since 2014. It’s a testament to her live show that fans keep coming back. Matt Pond PA headlines. $16–$18. Subterranean, 2011 W. North. ticketfly.com

TIGERS JAW

11/6–7 For a band built on the sanctity of friendship, this Scranton punk quintet surprised fans when it survived three members’ departures in 2013. What’s more, remaining members Brianna Collins and Ben Walsh have retained the railing live show, as evidenced by their bonkers Bottom Lounge headliner earlier this year. $28–$50. Concord Music Hall, 2047 N. Milwaukee. clubtix.com
