Music: Matchbox Twenty, Alanis Morisette, Mute Math

Safe, predictable Top 40 radio-favorite MATCHBOX TWENTY is touring to support its recent Exile on Mainstream, a greatest-hits collection. The openers on this odd bill are far more interesting. Middle-slot tourmate ALANIS MORISETTE is previewing new material from her upcoming album (to be released this spring) along with her more familiar songs. And it might just be worth the price of admission to see how the intricate cleverness of crafty openers MUTE MATH (pictured) fares in the big, cavernous sports arena Mon., JAN. 28. $45-$75. 7 p.m. Philips Arena, 1 Philips Drive. 404-249-6400. www.philipsarena.com. ­
