Must-see concerts in Toronto this March are especially dense with world-famous pop stars, but there are also a few indie titans we haven’t seen in a while, a pair of punk bands from New Jersey, and at least two former Polaris-Prize nominees. Here’s what’s on tap.

      Rebel
    • Lights

      Lights
      Our homegrown electropopster embraced her nerdier side last year with Skin & Earth, an album that doubled as a comic book series about a post-apocalyptic universe. With the final issue now in the can, she’s set out on a North American tour.
      The Danforth Music Hall
    • Häxan
      March 3
      Häxan
      For your friendly neighbourhood underground metal fix, check out this bill featuring the proto-metal screams of young locals Häxan, Mercedes Lander (of Kittie)’s The White Swan, doomy Hamiltonians Astral Witch and T.O. sludgelords Hammerhands.
      Coalition
    • Tune-Yards
      March 6
      Tune-Yards
      Eclectic and inventive as ever, Merrill Garbus officially made her indie-pop project a duo with longtime collaborator Nate Brenner, and they’ll bring their politically centred new tunes to the Danforth.

    • Plants and Animals

      2008 was a scary time: stock markets crashed, Twilight was popular and cell phones had flip-out keyboards. But one of the bright spots was this Montreal band’s debut LP. They’ll celebrate Parc Avenue’s 10th birthday with a full performance.
      Horseshoe Tavern
    • Justin Timberlake
      March 13

      It’s cool that Mr. “Man of the Woods” (a.k.a “sometimes I wear more flannel now?!”) kicks off his world tour with us, but let’s hope he brings more than his Superbowl game to the ACC over two nights.
      Air Canada Centre
    • Titus Andronicus
      March 13

      Jersey’s normally “Dimed Out” punks decided to turn things down to brooding-ballad level with latest release A Productive Cough, and in that light are embarking on their first acoustic tour.

    • Screaming Females

      Conversely, these other Jersey punks are about as loud as ever and extending the fury over their first double album.
      Hard Luck
    • Our Lady Peace and Matthew Good
      March 16
      Our Lady Peace and Matthew Good
      To us late-90s kids who read Chart Attack in print, this is the mild Can-Con equivalent of Axl Rose and Slash finally making peace for a reunion. The pair of alt-rock vets apparently like each other now and are touring hand-in-hand across the country.
      Rebel
    • MGMT
      March 19
      MGMT
      It’s been a quiet few years (and maybe a couple weird ones before that), but the duo is back to making their trademark psychedelic-pop earworms for the masses.
      Massey Hall
    • P!nk
      March 20
      P!nk
      MTV’s reigning Video Vanguard winner is coming to Canada on her Beautiful Trauma world tour, and you just KNOW girl is gonna work out some dope aerial choreography for it. Bonus: Jack Antonoff’s Bleachers will open the show.
      Air Canada Centre
    • Lorde
      March 29

      Not only was Melodrama one of the few mega-popstar albums of the past year that actually lived up to the hype, but Lorde has assembled a pretty amazing lineup for its massive tour: Run the Jewels and Mitski open the T.O. dates.
      Air Canada Centre
    • Yamantaka // Sonic Titan
      March 29
      Yamantaka // Sonic Titan
      The “noh wave” collective’s new incarnation is at last ready for a full unveiling of new tunes, five years after the Polaris-nominated Uzu, and it sounds like they’re in their most progressive form yet.
      The Baby G
    • Yo La Tengo
      March 31
      Yo La Tengo
      The eternally beloved indie band is about to release their 15th studio LP and will bring their gentle jams to the Phoenix for one night only.
