The 34-date global tour will make a stop at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Friday, Nov. 13, just one night after the North American leg kicks off in Wheatland, California. From San Francisco, Tyla will continue on to cities including Vancouver, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Released July 24 via FAX and Epic Records, APOP* features 14 tracks, including “CHANEL,” “IS IT,” “SHE DID IT AGAIN” and

Suki Waterhouse looked like she’d stepped out of one of her own songs. As the band eased into the opening moments of “Supersad,” a silver mirrored heart pi

St. Vincent didn’t so much walk onto the Davies Symphony Hall stage Thursday night as materialize there. Following a brief introduction from the San Francisco Symphony, a pulsating, almost tribal drumbeat began rumbling through the hall. Then Annie Clark appeared beneath crimson lights, looking like some slightly sinister marionette brought suddenly to life. She wore black tights, bright red shoes, a blue schoolgirl-style outfit and matching red lipstick. Even her movements seemed theatrical. She tiptoed across the stage like a ballerina, bent her body into mime-like poses that recalled Charlie Chaplin, then grabbed a guitar and shredded with startling force.

Outside Lands opened Friday in its usual Golden Gate Park fashion: too many good options, too much ground to cover and the nagging feeling that something great was happening at the stage you just left. Die Spitz got the day moving with a ferocious set of distorted guitars and punk energy, sounding less like an opening act warming up a festival crowd than a band intent on making sure everyone within earshot knew they had arrived. Wet Leg brought their dry humor and indie-pop hooks to a much bigger stage. Geese followed with their wiry, unpredictable rock, while Turnstile pushed

There are certain artists whose music becomes something else entirely in person. Not necessarily louder or bigger, but more alive. The kind of performance that sends you back to albums you already love and makes you hear them differently. The xx delivered one of those sets Saturday night at Outside Lands. Opening with “Crystalised,” the trio reached all the way back to the beginning. The song comes from their 2009 debut, xx, and immediately established that this reunion would not shy away from the material that first defined them. But the set never felt trapped in nostalgia. That matters because The

Public Enemy didn’t come to Stern Grove on Saturday just to play the hits. They came to remind the crowd why hip-hop mattered in the first place. The entire day felt like a love letter to the culture’s roots. Between sets, DJs spun old-school tracks with a strong Bay Area flavor while breakdancers worked the crowd. Then LaRussell took the stage and nearly blew the roof off the park. Backed by an Oakland choir, surrounded by young dancers and joined by family members, the Vallejo rapper turned his set into a celebration of community. At one point, he walked straight
