CONCERTS

If you've ever wondered what it's like to see about 20 dudes on a single stage pumping out feel good rock 'n' roll anthems that would make Axl Rose jealous, then you don't want to miss Boston's Bang Camaro June 12 at The Bowery Ballroom. [On Sale: Friday April 11 at noon]

There seems to be a trend these days of seminal indie bands playing entire sets of classic albums. (Did you catch Sonic Youth doing Daydream Nation last summer at McCarren Park Pool?) Add Mission of Burma to that list. The 80s punk rock legends are scheduled to perform the album Signals, Calls, and Marches on June 14 at The Bowery Ballroom, and the album VS the following night. [On Sale: Friday, April 11 at noon]

Calling all former Goth kids: Peter Murphy of Bauhaus is coming to The Blender Theater at Gramercy on June 26 and 27. [On Sale: Saturday, April 12 at 10 a.m.]

First R.E.M., then the Breeders, and now Pearl Jam! When will the comebacks end? The Seattle grunge progenitors play MSG June 24 and 25. [On Sale: Friday, April 11 at 10 a.m.]

Speaking of comebacks ... Rancid? Seems like punk's not dead after all! It's just that it now comes in the form of a Live Nation concert package at Irving Plaza on Aug. 13, 14, 16 and 17 at Irving Plaza. [On Sale: Saturday, April 12 at 10 a.m.]

THEATER

From Playbill:

"The eagerly awaited revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus, a hit at London's Gielgud Theatre, will begin previews Sept. 5 at the Broadhurst Theatre, which is currently the home of the acclaimed revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. As previously reported by Playbill.com, Daniel Radcliffe and Tony and Olivier Award winner Richard Griffiths — who played to sold-out crowds in the London revival — will reprise their work for Broadway audiences. Radcliffe will star as Alan Strang with Griffiths as Dr. Martin Dysart. Opening night at the Broadhurst is scheduled for Sept. 25, and the production will play a 22-week engagement through Feb. 8, 2009." [On Sale: Saturday, April 12 at 9 a.m.]
