Few acts hold cult status in the Orlando music canon like Rocket 88.

Ever since their emergence in the early 1990s, they’ve been the city’s flaming gold standard in rockabilly, with their flamboyant stage spectacles and high-voltage rock & roll. Rocket 88 don’t play out as much these days and this will be their first show in three years, so expect maximum liftoff.

Garage-rock kings The Tremolords, of course, always bring 1960s animalism with evergreen thrill. Finally, credentialed cowpunk combo Big Jef Special will start the party with a stomp. No other show this week will pack this much living Orlando history on one stage.

8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, Conduit, conduitfl.com, $15
