Prince: It’s been eight years since Prince played Chicago, so this three-night residency is long overdue. His last studio album, “20Ten,” came out in 2010, so he’s free to take these shows anywhere – an exciting prospect for Prince watchers, 8 p.m. Monday-Wednesday at United Center, 1901 W. Madison, $49.50 and $149.50; ticketmaster.com.
First Aid Kit: Swedish sisters Klara and Johanna Soderberg were one of the hits of Lollapalooza in August, mixing the close harmonies of folk, a hint of soul and a blast of metal with their hair-flailing, guitar-thrashing attitude, 7:30 p.m. Monday at Metro, 3730 N. Clark St., $21; metrochicago.com.
