ARTPOP: You’ve probably heard the tragic tale of how the Lady Gaga concert had to be rescheduled to accommodate a potential Game 6 of the Wizards and Pacers (we hope that actually happens). It looks like a lot of little monsters were unable to make the new date, or possibly the little monsters have just grown up, because there are quite a few seats left. Verizon Center (601 F Street NW). 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $43

MUSIC: Thaylobleu brings funk rock to D.C. Little War Twins, Bencoolen, and Ms. Fridrich’s Messy Ann Band also perform. Black Cat (1811 14th Street NW) 8 p.m. $12
