(213) 413-8200. https://www.attheecho.com.

Peter Frampton His golden locks may be shorn, but the British guitar virtuoso is still making sweet music. The Grammy-winning musician just released a new record, “Thank You Mr. Churchill,” but his current world tour celebrates the 35th anniversary of his massively popular live album, “Frampton Comes Alive!” It will be performed in its entirety. Fox Performing Arts Center, 3801 Mission Inn Ave., Riverside. 7:30 p.m. $54.60-$132.45. (951) 779-9800. https://www.foxriversidelive.com.

Lykke Li Li’s beguiling second album, “Wounded Rhymes,” is full of charged contradictions. She’s a mediocre singer with a very interesting voice, a fan of classic handmade pop and the ways laptops can serrate it, and a writer obsessed with sex and with sexing up obsession. Greek Theatre, 2700 N. Vermont Ave., L.A. 7:30 p.m. $27.50-$35. greektheatrela.com
