5 Weekend Events in Boston: Oysters, Van Halen and More

1) Worlds collide at  Saturday at 3 p.m. when the Arnie Roth, the Video Game Orchestra and Choir Força perform "". Tickets start at $43.50.

2) Would anyone ever pay $31 to see a cover band? They would if it’s The Dan Band, the delightfully foul-mouthed musical and comedy act ready to suck the class out of the Wilbur Theater Saturday at 9:45 p.m.

3) Farmer’s market season is right around the corner, but folks in the know can get delicious, locally grown food and handcrafted wares at the . The market opens Sunday at 6 a.m.

4) If you’re looking for cheap, good eats this weekend, check out  at . Oysters are a buck apiece, and you can wash them down with a $3.50 Narragansett tall boy. The shuckable feast starts Sunday at 4 p.m. and ends when the oysters are gone.

5) Sunday night’s the biggie: the reconstituted Van Halen comes to the Garden in support of their new album. For those long-suffering fans whose hearts sank hearing the first single, “Tattoo,” listen to snippets of "As Is" and "China Town" before you make up your mind. Tickets are scarce and start at $47. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
