What’s your ‘80s groove?
The week offers a choice for music fans who remember the ‘80s. On Monday night, starting at 7:30 p.m., rock duo Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, creators of such hits as “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “We Belong” and “Love Is a Battlefield,” perform at Red Butte Garden, 301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City. Saturday night, starting at 7 p.m., singer-guitarist Kenny Loggins — who performed the soundtrack hits “Danger Zone” (for “Top Gun”), “Footloose” (for “Footloose”) and “I’m All Right” (for “Caddyshack”) — will bring what he says will be his final tour to Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater at Deer Valley, Park City. Both shows are sold out, though resale tickets are available.
