Friday night’s L.A. concerts, and there’s no shortage:

► Reunited punk rockers Babes in Toyland headline the cheekily named Riot Grill Fest, a food-rock-comedy event at the Regent Theater organized by “Bitchin Kitchen” chef Nadia G, whose band the Menstruators will play along with Le Butcherettes and Slutever.
► Big night at the Figat7th Downtown Festival — the free series brings to the stage Peanut Butter Wolf, with Dam-Funk and Mayer Hawthorne (DJ set), along with Mild High Club.
► Tame Impala does a second consecutive night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
► Sheryl Crow does the first of two nights with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra at the Bowl. Alex Cuba opens.
► Sky Ferreira performs as part of the kickoff to Sundance Next Fest, which includes a screening of director Noah Baumbach’s “Mistress America” and the premiere of L.A. trio Superhumanoids’ new video for “Anxious in Venice.”
► Gaby Moreno plays the free Grand Performances series at California Plaza along with Jorge Drexler.
► And Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin plays the Satellite behind the new album “The High Country,” with Green Gerry and Midnight Faces opening.
