It’s time for another look at the top concerts of the week in the Bay Area, highlighted by an appearance from one of the biggest rock bands of all time. Here are some of your best bets:

Rolling Stones

It’s finally time for the Stones to roll back into the Bay Area, bringing along with them, of course, one of the most legendary songbooks in rock ‘n’ roll history.

You know you want to sing along to such first-tier classics as “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Wild Horses” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” so come on out to see Mick Jagger and company during their No Filter Tour stop at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Aug. 18.

The show was postponed from May so singer Mick Jagger could get heart valve replacement surgery. Reports from recent make-up dates on the tour say the frontman looks to be in top shape.

Details: 7:30 p.m.; $140 and up, www.ticketmaster.com

Young the Giant, Fitz and the Tantrums

Check out this co-headlining tour featuring two cool SoCal acts on Aug. 15 at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Young the Giant’s best-known songs include “My Body” and “Cough Syrup,” while Fitz and the Tantrums check in with such favorites as “The Walker” and “HandClap.”

Alice Merton is also on the bill.

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

Avett Brothers, Lake Street Dive

Here’s another cool doubleheader set for the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. This one is a two-night stand, Aug. 16-17, featuring popular North Carolina folk-rock act the Avett Brothers and the Boston indie-pop-soul outfit Lake Street Dive.

Details: 8 p.m.; $45-$119.50, www.ticketmaster.com

Jason Mraz

The singer-songwriter — whose recent single “Have It All” stands as one of the sweetest pop songs in recent memory — performs a benefit for Harmonic Humanity on Aug. 17 at the Fillmore in San Francisco. Luc & The Lovingtons and Ace of Cups are also on the bill.

Details: 8:30 p.m.; $99, www.livenation.com
