Pop & Rock

ALT 92.3 PRESENTS NOT SO SILENT NIGHT at Barclays Center (Dec. 5, 7 p.m.). On the heels of a 2017 merger and subsequent repositioning, this onetime contemporary hits station has tasked itself with filling a noted alt-rock void on New York City’s airwaves. For 92.3’s second annual holiday bash in Brooklyn, they’ve recruited some of the genre’s biggest names. Vampire Weekend, still riding the high of a suite of recently announced Grammy nominations for this year’s “Father of the Bride,” will appear, as will Cage the Elephant, who also received a nod from the Recording Academy for their recent album “Social Cues.” Also performing are the folk-rock stalwarts Mumford & Sons and the veteran emo band Jimmy Eat World.

BERHANA at Elsewhere (Dec. 3, 8 p.m.). The tracks on this singer’s debut album, “Han,” are punctuated by short interludes that riff on in-flight announcements — a nod to the record’s international origins. Recorded in Japan by the Atlanta-born artist, a son of Ethiopian immigrants, “Han” laces R&B grooves with filtered vocals and vintage synth sounds, taking cues from the Japanese singer Yukihiro Takahashi, as well as American forebears like Prince. The album builds on the promise of early singles like the buoyant bop “Janet,” from 2016, and “Grey Luh,” which garnered attention after it was featured on an episode of “Atlanta.”

CHER at Madison Square Garden (Dec. 3-4, 7:30 p.m.). Already a legendary performer, this pop titan has had a preternaturally large presence in New York this year, thanks to a biographical musical, “The Cher Show,” which ran on Broadway through August. As for the subject herself, she’s hardly been scarce: In May, her “Here We Go Again” tour — named in honor of ABBA, whose songs she’s taken to performing live after releasing an album of covers last year — made stops at Barclays Center and across the Hudson at the Prudential Center. On Tuesday, she returns to the area for a two-night stand at the Garden, during which she’s expected to perform her own classic hits, like “Believe,” as well as pay tribute to the Swedish supergroup.
