Indie folk band Bon Iver rocks out Radio City Music Hall this weekend.

After grabbing a pair of 2012 Grammy Awards, the group is touring in support of its self-titled album.

Also in town: “I’ll Be Your Mirror,” curated by Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs together with All Tomorrow’s Parties, the traveling music festival.

Andy Warhol’s Brillo boxes, Campbell’s Soup cans and celebs like Marilyn and Mao are in the spotlight at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Such improbably different artists as Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons and Gerhard Richter were all influenced by the wigged Popmaster. Warhol’s preoccupations -- the elevation of the commonplace, the worship of celebrity, sex and gender identity, the recycling of pre-existing sources -- are all now cultural touchstones.

“Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years” runs at the Met, 1000 Fifth Ave. through Dec. 31. Information: +1-212- 535-7710; http://www.metmuseum.org.
