Friday
Unfortunately, you’ll never get to see Nirvana in all of its grungy glory live ever again. But you can see one hell of a tribute act, Nirvanna, keep the spirit alive. Based in Orlando, this cover band not only sounds like Nirvana in its hey-day — rockin’ to classics such as “Lithium,” “Rape Me” and “Come as You Are” — but has the look down as well. You’ll want to catch ‘em before they head over to Europe for some gigs in Italy and France. 8 p.m. on Friday at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; jointherevolution.net. Tickets cost $15.
Saturday

Tickets cost $25 for adults with various discounts available.
Adam Sandler always keeps it fresh. And apparently he’s getting even fresher, as his 2019 100% Fresher tour rolls into the BB&T Center on Saturday. Sure, he’s been on Saturday Night Live, in Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore and a bazillion other movies, but on stage is where he continues to bring his A-plus game. For this tour, he’s promising new material and perhaps even a new song or two. 8 p.m. on Saturday at the BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; thebbtcenter.com. Tickets cost $55.25 to $170.
Ooh, that smell! Lynyrd Skynyrd once sang about that smell and this weekend you’ll be wondering what the hell that smell is. Well, it’s the South Florida Garlic Fest in all its glory. There’s more to this massive fest than seemingly everything garlic, from ice cream to BBQ. You can catch a set by The Mighty Mighty BossTones at 9 p.m. on Saturday, and on Sunday, Steel Pulse will tear the garlic-y house down. 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday at John Prince Park, 4759 S. Congress Ave., Lake Worth; garlicfestfl.com. Admission costs $12.

Okay, Valentine’s Day is on Thursday. But there’s also this thing called Galentine’s Day, where ladies celebrate other ladies. So, to celebrate Galentine’s Day, Death or Glory Bar in Delray has teamed up with Ready Set Party Events for a succulent wreath making party.

Supergroup alert! The Magpie Salute, comprised of former Black Crowes and Hookah Brown members, among others, is coming to town. The bluesy, southern-rock group formed in 2016 and, a year later, released a self-titled LP. Last year, it followed up its debut with a new LP, High Water I. If you’re yet to catch on to the Magpie madness, its single “Send Me an Omen” is quite the deliciously twangy and rockin’ single. 8 p.m. on Tuesday at Parker Playhouse, 707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale; ticketmaster.com. Tickets cost $26 to $46.
Wednesday
