The Australian pop-rock group INXS has been trying to rekindle its ’80s-era hitmaking magic for years now. In 2005 they even appeared in a reality series to pick a new permanent lead singer, to replace Michael Hutchence, who died in 1997. But Canadian singer J.D. Fortune hasn’t managed to take our breath away, to paraphrase the big hit from Berlin, the ’80s band now opening for INXS. So if you go, be sure to get there early: You could say Berlin’s Terri Nunn is still something of a suicide blonde. Monday, Aug. 8, at 8 p.m. Wolf Trap, 1645 Trap Road, Vienna. Tickets are $25 to $42. Call 703-255-1900 or visit wolftrap.org.
