HAIM are the ones to look for on Wednesday, and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke performs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.
Saturday brings another amazing encore from PBS's Austin City Limits: the one-hour set by Gary Clark Jr., which originally aired in October 2019 and features Clark performing songs from his latest album, This Land. Look for that show starting Saturday, May 2.
