✔️ Das Ich w/00tz 00tz/13th Angel Das Ich’s influence reaches all the way back to the early '90s when its debut album, Die Propheten, was issued on German darkwave imprint Danse Macabre Records. The band’s sound adopted a more danceable, up-tempo style throughout the decade, and its records have been the soundtrack to many goth kids’ most formative years. Expect to see those kids (now grown up) at Orpheum on Tuesday, and you can follow them to the after-party at The Castle when the show lets out. (Orpheum, Ybor City) INFO

✔️ The Wormhole w/ANNA/Christian Martin/Alen P/Kyle Kinch/Rob Bello/Suddenly Strange If you’re one of the dance-music fans that went out to Lakeland’s Distant Dimension festival this winter, then you already know how trippy The Wormhole is going to be. Brazilian-born, Barcelona-based techno producer ANNA headlines this party alongside Dirtybird favorite Christian Martin. The party ends at 3 a.m., but there’s an after-party happening just one block away. Turn to p. 4 for more info on that one. (Nova 535, St. Petersburg) INFO

✔️ HDXII the Final Foot Long? w/Achilles the Conqueror/Beerwolf/Bendy Straw/Reality Asylum/The Porch Sessions/Purr Purr Purr/Fat Jim Morrison Crowbar readies itself for what is perhaps the final installment of its infamous pre-Fourth of July party.
