Fans of electronic/trance should make sure they're at Phoenix tonight for a performance by DJ/musician/producer Tiësto aka Tijs Verwest. The Dutch artist is currently on the U.S. leg of his Club Life World Tour in celebration his brand-spankin'-new compilation Club Life: Volume One Las Vegas. A legend when it comes to spinnin' throbbing tunes with monumental beat-building elements, Tiesto is gifted at churning out new material and putting new twists on his greatest hits. His 2009 acclaimed Kaleidoscope album — featuring guest appearances by Calvin Harris, Tegan & Sara, Nelly Furtado and more — was remixed in 2010 due to popular demand. He's that good. Need I say more? Don't miss him when he's in Charlotte. $55. 9 p.m. Phoenix, 300 N. College St. 704-375-8765. www.phoenixofcharlotte.com.
