MUSIC
Greta Van Fleet
As polarizing as they are increasingly popular, these Led Zeppelin-esque young hard rockers have cheesed off plenty of old-timers because of how much they sound like Robert Plant and company. That’s fair. But give credit where credit is due: The group’s chart-topping debut, “Anthem of the Peaceful Army,” marked a rare win for rock at a time when the genre has never been less popular in terms of contemporary album sales. Besides, there are worse bands to take a cue from than the greatest hard rock act of all time. See Greta Van Fleet at 8 p.m. Friday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets start at $39.50; call 800-745-3000.

TELEVISION
‘Friends’
If your job’s a joke, you’re broke and your love life’s D.O.A, grab an acquaintance or two and take your mind off things with two mini-marathons of “Friends.” As part of the multitude of celebrations timed to the sitcom’s 25th anniversary, eight episodes will be shown in movie theaters. See “The One With the Prom Video,” “The One Where No One’s Ready,” “The One The Morning After” and “The One With the Embryos” — aka the episode with the trivia challenge — on Saturday and “The One With Chandler in a Box,” “The One With Ross’ Wedding Part 2,” “The One Where Everyone Finds Out” and “The One Where Ross Got High” on Wednesday. Check your nearest movie theater, because they’re being shown in more locations than not.
