Dan Auerbach, after rocking out with Black Keys band mate Pat Carney at last weekend's mud-covered All Points West finale, brings songs from his solo Nonesuch debut, Keep It Hid, to another of the summer's big festival events, Lollapalooza. He'll hit the stage in Chicago's Grant Park Sunday evening. The night before, Dan plays a more intimate, late-night set at Schuba's Tavern with Cage the Elephant.

The Low Anthem makes its way to Lollapalooza, as well, after playing a festival of a rather different sort, the 50th anniversary Newport Folk Festival, last weekend; the set begins at noon on Saturday. All this week, the band has been playing touring with fellow Newport Folk and Lollapalooza artist Joe Pug, a Chicago resident, who'll join the band for a Lollapalooza afterparty concert at the local venue the Hideout.

The Chicago festivities for The Low Anthem follow a performance with another Lollapalooza performer, Brooklyn's Langhorne Slim, at The Summit in Columbus, Ohio, tonight. They'll all hit the road together for several dates beginning next week in Newport, Kentucky.

Toumani Diabaté kicked off a two-week tour of the US and Canada with banjo master Béla Fleck earlier this week in a free concert and film screening at New York's Central Park SummerStage. "At its best," says Spinner in its concert review, "music is the universal language and Fleck and Diabaté treated fans to a unique instrumental dialogue. Their musical discussion ranged from fun to melancholic and, in the end, it was all deeply passionate and unique."

After sets in Maine and Vermont earlier this week, the tour heads South to the Shrine Mont Camp and Conference Center in Orkney Springs, Virginia, for the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival tonight. On Sunday, it's back up North for the tour's only Canadian date, at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival held in Edmonton's Gallagher Park.
