England-based punk-rock group Basement is headlining tonight’s show at Union Transfer. Their melodic hardcore sounds are influenced by early-90s grunge acts–like Nirvana. Swoon.

For those who have a secret soft spot for the perpetually tanned, Margarita-sipping crooner: You can savor summer’s final days singing along with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band’s island-themed anthems at the Susquehanna Bank Center this Tuesday. Scoop up your tickets here. Tuesday, August 19th, 8 p.m., $49.50+, Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, NJ.
Brooklyn-based band Bear in Heaven are hitting Johnny Brenda’s Wednesday night with their catchy electronic indie vibes.

Doors open at 8 p.m. Wednesday, August 20th, 8 p.m., $12-14, Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave.
If having firsthand involvement in a heated rap battle is on your bucket list, here’s your chance. The two hip-hop superstars will take the stage at Susquehanna Bank Center this Thursday, performing battling sets back and forth as audience members are invited to utilize a downloadable app which will count votes in favor of one rapper or the other. Not like Mr. Started-From-Degrassi-Now-I’m-Here and the Young Money exec needed an excuse to take the stage together—they are both platinum status—but this one should be interesting. Tickets are available here. Thursday, August 21st, 7 p.m., $35+, Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbour Blvd., Camden, NJ.
Fans of the legendary English rock band will dig this: The Trocadero Theater is hosting The Smiths Social, a party celebrating the music of The Smiths–the next best thing to seeing them in the flesh.

Friday, August 22nd, 8 p.m., $5, The Trocadero Theater, 1003 Arch Street.
Seeing the legendary Rod Stewart live is definitely worth the drive to The Shore this weekend.

Tickets are available here. Saturday, August 23rd, $95+, Mark G. Etess Arena at Trump Taj Mahal, 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ.
