Nothing sucks more than waking up in the morning thinking it's Friday only to realize that it is, in fact, just Monday.

We've all been there. And yes, it's a crappy feeling. But hey, at least you've got some pretty good music to comfort you.

Just check out the five best concerts going down this week, from Lyle Lovett at the Arsht Center to Foster the People and Porter Robinson at the Fillmore.
