MUSIC—It’s time to gambol down memory lane with a double bill of pop masters from the past. The Psychedelic Furs have soundtracked all your favorite films (hello, Pretty in Pink and Valley Girl!), and Richard Butler’s deep croon still stirs the prom-goer within us all. Evan Dando and the Lemonheads open—hopefully with a load of sugar-spun gems from their great 1992 album It’s a Shame about Ray. COURTNEY FERGUSON

JACK-O’-LANTERNS—If there’s one thing the Mercury loves, it’s making a mess, which is why we’re your perfect hosts for a boozy pumpkin-carving contest! Take your costume out for a dress rehearsal, use your squash-transforming skills to win big prizes, or just spectate and drink “creepy” cocktails. You’re not scared, are you? MARJORIE SKINNER
