Nelly Furtado: at Agganis Arena, June 5. Furtado (right) pulled off one of the more surprising, and commercially viable, makeovers last year when she morphed from a world-pop ingenue to a glammed-up club queen. She and producer Timbaland collaborated on "Loose," an eclectic collection of dance tracks and chill-out tunes. Now she aims to re-create the album's vibe on the road in a splashy show inspired by the city of Miami, where the album was recorded: white palm trees, back-up dancers, costume changes, the works. Tickets are $35 and $45 at ticketmaster.com. or 617-931-2000.
