Lots of great music on the way this weekend, but a word of warning: If you are heading to VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena for Friday's Scream Tour show with Bow Wow, Kayla Nicole, That Girl Lay Lay and others, you might want to turn around — the show's been "postponed." Get with your ticket outlet to find out about refunds.

Fortunately, that was far from the only thing planned this weekend in Jacksonville, so options abound.

Sing Out Loud

Mumford & Sons are in St. Augustine Saturday.

Wu-Tang Clan

Wu-Tang Clan is at Daily's Place this weekend.

Even if you know nothing about hip-hop, you've probably heard of Wu-Tang Clan, which was never really a band, more a group of like-minded hip-hoppers who enjoyed performing together — RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Capadonna. Nas and De La Soul open the show, which starts at 8 p.m. Saturday at Daily's Place. $49.50-$149.50.

'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial'

It's hard to remember today just how ubiquitous Steven Spielberg’s classic film was in the early '80s — if you hadn't seen it, you were nobody. The Jacksonville Symphony shows the film at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Jacoby Symphony Hall, while playing John Williams' immortal score live beneath the screen. $32-$85.

Gospel Superfest

Tosh is a Florida guy (Astronaut High School, UCF) who made it big with the less-than-politically correct Comedy Central clips show "Tosh.O." Standup is his first love, though, and he brings his Sweet T Tour to the Moran Theater at 7 p.m. Sunday. $42-$66.50.
