There's a lot to do this weekend in Sacramento, with the Amgen race on Saturday and all its attendant events; and then there's Second Saturday, with a number of great openings at local galleries.

But if you're up for music, there's a bit less to choose from. Still, there's enough to check out, and quite a bit to look forward to. Tickets are going on sale this Saturday and Sunday for a number of upcoming shows. More about that in a moment. 

First, perhaps the most interesting live music event of the weekend is the Mega Bollywood Show this Valentine's Saturday, at the Crest Theatre. Colleen Belcher's story about the event on SacramentoPress.com says it all about a show that is going to be shamelessly over-the-top. Check it out.

And if you're down with local artists - and we here at SacramentoPress.com are, above all, local - then you've got two great opportunities:

One is the Secretions show Friday at Javalounge on 16th Street and Broadway, an all-ages show that is guaranteed to rock your bad self. Get there early-ish, this is a small venue.

Another is the triple-threat showcase of local singer/songwriters Saturday night at Luna's Cafe. Autumn Sky, Ricky Berger and Justin Farren will share their tales of love and longing on the most romantic day of Walgreen's year.

But if you're looking for news on big shows, the deal is tickets on sale. Topping the list is Saturday's on-sale date for Coldplay's only NorCal show, at the Shoreline Pavilion in Mountain View on July 13. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. 

Another big show is the Il Divo show July 23 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose. Tickets go on sale Sunday at 10 a.m.

Finally, and more important, locally, tickets for the April 8 Memorial Auditorium show by Fall Out Boy go on sale Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Others on the show are Metro Station and Cobra Starship.
