Beloved San Antonio music festival La Semana Alegre\u2019s reboot is now in its second year, and while it still misses the \u201cSemana\u201d part of its name by five days, it has amassed a party-ready bill long on \u201980s stars and local luminaries.

Bad Suns, Little Image<\/p>\n
Since forming in 2010, Los Angeles band the Bad Suns has been in steady rotation on the alternative charts, most notably for their 2013 single \u201cCardiac Arrest,\u201d which was first released online and led to debut studio album Language & Perspective, a subsequent charter in the indie top 10. Christo Bowman\u2019s voice and lyrical style suggests the influence of The Cure\u2019s Robert Smith, while the band\u2019s sound has evolved from a darker alt-rock sound to a more pop sensibility, especially on its 2025 release Accelerator. $37.00-$53.50, 8 p.m., Aztec Theatre, 104 N.

Purity Ring<\/p>\n
Canadian duo Purity Ring have kept the indie flag flying high since dropping its debut album in 2012. While much of the act\u2019s discography consists of hip-hop beats intertwined with pop-infused electronic melodies, its latest release takes on a dreamy folk flair. Vocalist Megan James and instrumentalist Corbin Roddick only seem to drop a new release every five years or so, which means fans may not want to sit this show out. $36.11-$177.45, 8 p.m., Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary\u2019s St.,\u00a0papertigersatx.com. \u2014 Brianna Espinoza<\/p>\n
