No reasons to be bored this week!

Thriller Live Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, Monday to Friday.

Direct from London’s West End where it’s now in its sixth year, Thriller Live is a spectacular concert celebrating the career of the late Michael Jackson.

non-stop hits pays homage to Jackson’s legendary live performances and innovative dance moves.

Songs include I Want You Back, Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller.

Paolo Nutini SSE Hydro, Glasgow, Monday and Tuesday.

This has been the biggest year yet for the Paisley singer.

Following the release of his third album, Caustic Love, which went straight in at No1, Paolo is on his largest tour to date.

Having already undertaken a tour of America, the 27-year-old has been headlining venues across Europe with his 10-piece band and plays his biggest Scottish shows this week with two appearances at the Hydro.

Lee Mack King’s Theatre, Glasgow, Wednesday to Friday.

The multi-award winning star of Not Going Out and Would I Lie to You? is back on the road with his first live tour in more than four years.

In Hit the Road, Mack, expect the funny man’s trademark brand of high-energy banter, well-crafted gags and sharp one-liners in one of the most hotly-anticipated comedy shows of the year.

The 46-year-old also plays the Edinburgh Playhouse on November 11 and 12.

Elkie Brooks Dundee Rep/King’s, Glasgow, Sunday to Tuesday.

Now in the fifth decade of her career and approaching her 70th birthday, Elkie is still proving to be one of the most powerful and versatile vocal talents in Britain.

Two years after the release of her autobiography, Finding My Voice, Elkie promises an evening filled with classic hits such as Don’t Cry Out Loud and Lilac Wine, as well as blues and jazz numbers in a setting where she’ll show that she does her best work live.

Horns Out Wednesday.

Daniel Radcliffe goes from Harry to horror in this supernatural thriller. Daniel is Ig Perrish, suspected of murdering his girlfriend.

Pressured by the investigation, Ig awakens one morning to find horns growing from his head and realises their power drives people to confess their sins and give in to their most selfish impulses quite a tool in his quest to discover the true circumstances of his girlfriend’s grisly end and exacting revenge on her killer.

Shane Filan Motherwell, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Carlisle, Tuesday to Friday.

The former Westlife man is now out on his own and touring.

The ex-boyband member, whose group was known for its ballads, big key changes and bar stools, has decided to mix things up a little and his solo effort features some up-tempo songs he wrote himself.

He plays Motherwell Concert Hall on Tuesday, Aberdeen Music Hall on Wednesday, Kilmarnock Grand Hall on Thursday and Carlisle Sands on Friday.

Priestley’s Dangerous Corner Theatre Royal, Glasgow, Monday to Friday.

All seems well at the Caplans’ publishing house until a can of worms is ripped open at Robert and Freda Caplan’s dinner party.

The cast includes Michael Praed, best known for his starring roles in Robin of Sherwood, Dynasty and Riders, Colin Buchanan (D.I. Pascoe in Dalziel and Pascoe) Kim Thomson from Emmerdale, Holby City and Matt Milne, footman Alfred Nugent in Downton Abbey.

Neil Sedaka Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Friday.

“I’ll never forget Pavarotti telling me that after 70 the voice will go down a couple of notches,” the 75-year-old told In10.

“I try not to shout in a noisy room, try to sleep enough and avoid icy drinks.

“I always have a drink before I walk out as it relaxes the larynx. The audience can pick up whether you’re tense or relaxed.

“The more you sing, the better you are. If you stop for a few months the first one back is like climbing a mountain.”

Festival of Remembrance Dundee Caird Hall, Saturday.

The festival from the Royal British Legion Scotland begins with the Parade of Standards and Muster of Contingents and features music from the Central Band of the Royal British Legion, Scotland and the pipes and drums of the Arbroath RBLS, with Kevin Veal on the Caird Hall organ.

Community singing is led by ex-Territorial Signalman Billy Naismith, and the ecumenical Act of Remembrance is led by the legion’s area chaplain, Rev David Taylor.
