Japanese Inspirations plus Godzilla

All weekend - Phipps Conservatory

This is the final weekend to catch the fall flower show at Phipps Conservatory. It's called "Japanese Inspirations." It's like taking a tour of Japan's exuberant festivals and gorgeous botanical design as journey where the colorful chrysanthemum is king. And what better way to do that than with a screening of the original 1954 "Godzilla" film in the botany hall auditorium!

Lee Terbosic: In Plain Sleight

All weekend, various times - Liberty Magic

Liberty Magic is a new magic-centric speakeasy theater in the heart of the cultural district.  With fewer than 70 seats, the venue provides an intimate, up-close experience with talented magicians from all around the world. Right now, though, it's a Pittsburgh native taking of residence there for the month.
It's illusion, sleight of hand and mind reading all rolled up into one amazing 75-minute show. 

The Neighbourhood

Friday, 7 p.m. - Stage AE

American rockers the Neighbourhood will be bringing down the house. You know them for their massive hit "Sweater Weather". The band has been putting out hits ever since its first full-length album "I Love You" in 2013. They have played Coachella and venues all over the world.

Bob Dylan

Tool

Friday, 7 p.m. - PPG Paints Arena

It's been 13 years since prog metal masters Tool released an album, but we suppose great prog metal takes time.
