Seemingly ageless power-pop armada Cheap Trick \u2014 seriously, these gents are in their 70s \u2014 are returning to Orlando with a new album of songs to show off. <\/p>\n

The band, anchored by stalwarts Rick Nielsen on guitar and vocalist Robin Zander, just released newest collection All Washed Up and are back in Florida already after gigs supporting Styx in February. Bassist Peterson recently told American Songwriter that they\u2019ll \u201ckeep going until they drop,\u201d and for fans of sugary-sweet earworm pop hooks melded to eccentrically arena-ready riffs and over-the-top solos, that\u2019s great (if not slightly dark-humored) news. <\/p>\n

8 p.m., Wednesday, March 11, Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com<\/a>, $80-$278.<\/p>\n
