Some noteworthy concerts are happening on this Thurs., July 21. Breakdown below…

Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa Two of hip hop’s biggest ganja lovers – one veteran of the game, Snoop Dogg, one fast-rising and rather prolific upstart, Wiz Khalifa – have come together for this giant arena tour. Dogg needs no introduction; he’s a virtual pop culture celebrity who’s done some experimenting with his swagger here and there (7 Days of Funk was righteous, and reggaefied Snoop Lion was pretty cool, too – yeah, I said it). But he always seems to come out on top, surrounded by a cloud of haze and pimping new material; this date finds him fresh off dropping his 14th studio album, Coolaid, and its first single “Kush Ups” features his tour buddy. Wiz Khalifa has been charting singles since 2010’s "Black and Yellow"; his latest across-the-boards No. 1 hit, "See You Again" (featuring Charlie Puth), was written for the Furious 7 soundtrack. He has a sixth solo LP out right now, Khalifa, in addition to his second collab with Snoop, Mac & Devin Go to High School Part 2. Expect a lot of onstage love at this one, with support from Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko, Casey Veggies and DJ Drama. (MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Tampa)–Leilani Polk

Never Shout Never with Hundred Handed, Me Like Bees Should you ever shout "never ever"? Isn't that a sign of bad luck? Never should I ever get a bad haircut and start an indie rock band? Never Shout Never did that, and because of it, formed a sizeable following. Fashion aside, they captured an attentive audience via crisp harmonies Cristofer Drew's versatile vocals, which can hit high notes and immediately sink to a bass-y croon. Oh, and the lyrics are cute. Mostly. Hundred Handed's electro-pop sensibilities are bolstered by infectious sing-along choruses and Me Like Bees’ fuzzy garage sound and plucky, weighty and groovy tunes balance the more mellow-minded headliners. (Orpheum, Ybor City) –Brian Roesler

Beres Hammond The soulfully romantic Jamaican reggae balladeer and lovers rock vet switches from his regularly scheduled Jannus stop to deliver his serenades at classier theater digs, which is kind of synchronistic considering his music will be making its debut on another sort of stage when the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica mounts its 54th season with Beres on Love, a love-themed episodic work inspired by and set to his music. In a recent interview with the Jamaican Observer, associate artistic director Marlon Simms explained that Hammond was a great storyteller and his songs an ideal canvas for painting a picture with dance. “His stories are the stories of our people with that universal theme of love.” (Mahaffey Theater, St. Petersburg)–LP
