Here is a guide to notable arts events taking place throughout the state, through March 25.

POP/ROCK/ROOTS

• Justin Timberlake‘s fifth studio album, Man of the Woods, was released in February to mixed reviews, but his hit-filled, high-tech Man of the Woods Tour, which began last week in Toronto, is still shaping up to be one of the biggest tours of the year. It comes to the Prudential Center in Newark, March 25 at 7:30 p.m., with The Shadowboxers opening. There will also be shows at Madison Square Garden, March 21-22 and Oct. 24; and the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, June 2 and Dec. 17.

• Miranda Lambert, a mainstay of the country charts for the last 15 years or so — most recently with “Vice,” “Tin Man” and “We Should Be Friends,” all from her 2016 The Weight of These Wings album — will perform at the Prudential Center in Newark, March 22 at 7 p.m., with Jon Pardi and Charlie Worsham opening.

• Alcohol and art are co-headliners at the Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival, taking place at the Atlantic City Convention Center, March 23-24.

• Rickie Lee Jones released her self-titled debut album nearly 40 years ago, and went on to earn a Top 10 hit (“Chuck E.’s in Love”) and a Best New Artist Grammy Award with it. She has remained, since then, one of the most distinctive artists in the pop-rock world, and will perform at the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College in Toms River, March 22 at 7:30 p.m., in a show that is being billed as “An Intimate Evening With Rickie Lee Jones.”

But New Jerseyans will also have a chance to see them at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, March 22 at 6:30 p.m., when they head a bill that also includes Boston Manor, Free Throw, Hot Mulligan and Jetty Bones.
