It's been the refrain for a couple of weeks, but the concert calendar is getting a nice infusion of arena-level events and exciting local album releases and residencies.

The former includes two nights of Lady Gaga at Grand Casino Arena, as well as another Orpheum Theatre visit for Steve Martin and Martin Short. In the latter category, Charlie Parr has shared details for his annual January residency at the Turf Club, and there are album release shows coming up from Lazerbeak and Yellow Ostrich.

You'll also find details on the just-announced show from Tina Schlieske, Anderson .Paak's DJ alter-ego, Mclusky, Pert Near Sandstone, Curtiss A's annual John Lennon tribute, and a holiday show starring Aimee Mann and Ted Leo.

Here are this week's just-announced concerts around the Twin Cities.
