Pink has never had a No. 1 album, but as the pop star might say, so what?
She headlines KeyArena on Tuesday night, bringing her Funhouse tour to Seattle with acrobats and elevated dancers.
The show was originally scheduled for the WaMu Theater, but the singer, who scored a massive international hit in 2008 with “So What,” was upgraded to a larger venue.
The Ting Tings join her on the tour. The indie pop duo broke into the mainstream with the dance floor-ready track “That’s Not My Name.”
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, KeyArena, 305 Harrison St., Seattle; $39.50; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Def Leppard with Poison: You know it’s a nostalgia tour when both headliners had most of their hits in the 1980s.
Def Leppard ruled the charts with a mix of big hair and bigger hooks on tracks such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Photograph.”
Poison also had some big hits — “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” anyone? — but frontman Bret Michaels may be best known now as the reality star of VH1 sleaze fest “Rock of Love.”
7 p.m. Saturday, White River Amphitheatre, 40601 Auburn Enumclaw Road, Auburn; $25 to $99.50; livenation.com or 877-598-6659.
Keith Urban: Things just keep getting better for Mr. Nicole Kidman.
Urban, whose songs land in the poppy middle ground between country and rock, topped the Billboard 200 for the first time earlier this year with “Defying Gravity.”
He brings his world tour to the Tacoma Dome on Saturday.
8 p.m. Saturday, Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D St., Tacoma; $20 to $59.50; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Miley Cyrus: The Radio Disney juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down.
The singer, who also plays Hannah Montana in theaters, scored the best debut of her career when her new single, “Party in the USA,” landed at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
7 p.m. Wednesday, Tacoma Dome, 2727 E. D St., Tacoma; $39.50 to $79.50; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Flogging Molly: Led by a Dublin native, this Los Angeles group is like the Pogues for the Hot Topic set.
The group’s rousing mix of folk rock and punk have gained a wide audience during the past decade. Its most recent album, 2008’s “Float,” hit No. 4 on the Billboard charts, a career best.
6:30 p.m. Thursday, Concerts at Marymoor, 6046 W. Lake Sammamish Parkway NE, Redmond; $29.50; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Collective Soul: The new millennium hasn’t been kind to Collective Soul. All the group’s No. 1 hits — “Shine,” “The World I Know,” and five others — came in the 1990s.
The group continues to tour, however, and is making a grab at its success on a new self-titled album, which came out Aug. 25.
8 p.m. Wednesday, Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; $30; stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Gov’t Mule: Fans should expect to hear some new material when Gov’t Mule hits Seattle.

7 tonight, Showbox SoDo, 1700 First Ave. S., Seattle; $30; ticketmaster.com or 800-745-3000.
Porcupine Tree: Singer and guitarist Steven Wilson has slowly built a following for his group.
The experimental prog rock outfit can be tough to nail down; its highest charting album to date was 2007’s critically lauded “Fear of a Blank Planet,” a sprawling six-track concept record.
8 p.m. Tuesday, Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave., Seattle; $25; stgpresents.org or 877-784-4849.
Psychedelic Furs: John Hughes fans can pay homage to the late director in a roundabout way at the Moore Theatre.
