Don't call it a comeback! The long-awaited reunion of LABELLE – Sarah Dash, Nona Hendryx and Patti LaBelle – resulted in one of the most anticipated albums of the year, Back to Now. Finally, after more than 20 years, the funky trio is fabulously back in action, belting out hits from the '70s to today. Known as the Anti-Supremes with their searing vocals, dazzling stage presentations, and soulful blend of disco, funk, gospel and glam rock, Labelle became known as Manhattan's avant-garde of music, art and fashion. In 1975 they scored a No. 1 single with "Lady Marmalade," a seminal anthem of the burgeoning gay disco subculture. Their reunion tour brings three voices together in signature, gorgeously harmonized glory. And with each member in her 60s, they show no signs of stopping. $56-$86. 8 p.m. Atlanta Civic Center, 395 Piedmont Ave. 404-817-8700. www.ticketmaster.com.
