Adelitas Way at the Loft, Thursday, July 23

Virgin Records-signed band Adelitas Way launched into the mainstream with its 2009 single, “Invincible.” The breakthrough song was picked up as the theme song for professional wrestling TV program “WWE Superstars.” Since then, the melodic hard-rock outfit has released a string of albums and toured alongside Guns N’ Roses, Three Days Grace and Seether. The Las Vegas-based band’s latest LP, 2014’s “Stuck,” features “Dog on a Leash” — the hit single reached No. 7 on Billboard’s Active Rock Chart. The band headlines an all-ages show at the Loft Thursday. Warming up the stage is Bad Seed Rising, the youngest band ever to sign with Roadrunner Records. The group, led by 17-year-old vocalist Francheska Pastor, released its third EP, “A Place Called Home,” in May. Also opening are Assume Nothing and St8 of Mine.

AC/DC, the Replacements cover bands at the Avenue, Friday, July 24

Two of Lansing’s edgiest tribute bands, ICY/DICEY (AC/DC) and Bastards of Young (The Replacements), return Friday to the Avenue Café. ICY/DICEY got its band name from saying “AC/DC” with a skewed accent, but it’s also a nod to Michigan’s treacherous winter roads. According to the band’s bio, its set list is “98.32% Bon Scott-era material,” so fans of pre-“Back in Black” AC/DC should be satisfied. Meanwhile, Bastards of Young play plenty of the Replacements tunes from the “Tim” LP, as well as other select alt-rock classics. Last month, the (actual) Replacements re-broke up after a successful reunion tour, so Bastards of Young might be the closest thing you’ll see for a while. Opening the show is Cosmonaut, an original Grand Rapids-based post-punk outfit. Cosmonaut’s 2014 “Killed by a Blushing Crow” EP was recorded in Chicago with famed recording engineer Steve Albini at his studio, Electrical Audio.
