When I was in high school, I published a monthly zine called “Frenzy” in which I featured my own and my friends’ essays, poems, drawings and other art. (Shoutout to my mom for using her office copier to make prints.) So this event has a special place in my heart. It features more than 30 local zine makers selling or giving away their handmade magazines. Open to all ages. Noon-4 p.m. Free. 44 S. Huling Ave. More info here. — Phillips

Hayley Williams, best known as the lead singer of pop-punk/emo band Paramore, broke out on her own for a solo career a few years back. The band is reportedly still together but on a break. Meanwhile, Williams is touring for her Grammy-nominated solo album, “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.” And this show will be a bit of a home-state homecoming for Williams, who was born in Meridian, Mississippi, before moving with her family to Franklin, Tennessee. 7 p.m. $32-$92. 6285 Snowden Lane, Southaven. More info here. — Phillips

Modest Mouse at Satellite Music Hall, Monday:

Modest Mouse’s first album is called “This is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About,” and that kind of captured the restless, headlong tone of their music, discursive even by 1990s indie-rock standards. That was nearly a decade before Isaac Brock’s Pacific Northwest band scored a fluke hit with “Float On,” which turned “indie” into “modern” and small clubs into bigger ones. More than 20 years later, they’re still playing the bigger ones, and one they’ve never played before at the new Satellite Music Hall this week. 7 p.m. General admission $71.50. 1291 Autumn Ave. See here for more info. — Chris Herrington
