Your Friday fun, and there’s lots of it:

‣ Norah Jones’ new album is called “Little Broken Hearts” and tonight she takes on a big full amphitheatre, headlining the Hollywood Bowl. Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons open.
‣ Jack White does the first of two nights at the Shrine Auditorium behind his new album “Blunderbuss.”
‣ Massive night at Staples Center, where Reventon Super Estrella 2012 brings Café Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Hombres G, Beto Cuevas and Kinky to the stage.
‣ Just off a month on the Warped Tour, Welsh rock sextet Lostprophets headline the Roxy behind their new album “Weapons.” Cherri Bomb, Kill the Complex and Life Down Here support. That’s Lostprophets’ video for “Bring ’Em Down,” above.
‣ And Brooklyn’s Fang Island buzzes into the Troubadour behind its new release “Major,” supported by Zechs Marquise and Adebisi Shank. We rather like this song “Asunder”:
