It’s a huge week for music in the Bay Area, highlighted by two enticing classic-rock bills set for AT&T Park in San Francisco. Here are some of the top picks for the week (Sept. 20-26):

Eagles

The year 1976 was a very good one for the Eagles. It’s when the band released its first compilation record, “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975,” and their seventh studio album, “Hotel California.” To say that both were successful is a vast understatement. “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975” now ranks as the top-selling album of all time in the U.S. “Hotel California” ranks at three on that same list. Wow. The Eagles performs Sept. 20 at AT&T Park in San Francisco. Rounding out the bill are country-rockers Zac Brown Band and San Jose’s own the Doobie Brothers.

Details: 5 p.m.; $69.50-$229.50; www.ticketmaster.com.

Journey and Def Leppard

Just can’t get enough classic rock? Then head back to AT&T Park on Sept. 21 for local band Journey and Def Leppard’s co-headlining show. And when you can claim Foreigner as an opening act, you know you have a stadium-worthy show on your hands.

Details: 6 p.m.; $39.50-$176; www.ticketmaster.com.

J Balvin

The reggaeton star, known for such hits as “Ay Vamos,” “Ginza,” “Bobo,” “Mi Gente” and “I Like It,” performs Sept. 20 at Oracle Arena in Oakland.

Details: 8 p.m.; $39.95-$129.95; www.ticketmaster.com.

Slim’s 30th anniversary

The landmark San Francisco club continues to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Upcoming shows include ska-pop act The Aquabats (7 p.m. Sept. 20; $30 advance/$32 door) and the Blues & Soul Revue featuring Elvin Bishop, Wee Willie Walker, Terrie Odabi and The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra (7:30 p.m. Sept. 21, $25-$30 advance/door).

Miguel

The R&B star visits the Event Center at San Jose State University on Sept. 20 in support of his fourth studio album, “War & Leisure.” DVSN and Nonchalant Savant are also on the bill.

Details: 7:30 p.m.; $49.50; www.ticketmaster.com.
