Halloween meets harmonic convergence in Florida's Suwannee forest.

We're including primitive accommodations beneath ancient oaks plus $600 travel credit. Experience 70+ artists where jam bands dance with electronic wizardry in one of America's most atmospheric festival settings.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Get tickets to ZZ Top, Bright Eyes, Tennis + Real Estate, Gregory Alan Isakov, and more at venues around Portland. PS, we even have tickets for some of them!*

  • Taylor Tomlinson is coming to Portland with jokes so sharp they should come with a warning label. This is stand-up for people who’ve been ghosted, gaslit, and diagnosed. Wanna go for free? You can.*

  • Win your way into Reggae Rise Up Oregon to enjoy two days of roots, rhythms, and reckless amounts of sunshine. Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Damian & Stephen Marley, Iration, Cypress Hill + 40 more. Take your shot at tickets now.*

  • Natalia Lafourcade is pure magic. Don’t miss folkloric soul wrapped in poetry, voice like a spell, and songs that feel older than time at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall next June.

  • Peter Hook & The Light just announced a run that dives deep into the Joy Division / New Order songbook. The bad news is they aren’t hitting Crystal Ballroom until September 2026. The good news is you can secure tickets today.

FREE STUFF FRIDAY

This week’s free haul is peak chaos: Simpsons Trivia for the nerds, a full-blown Tomato Festival for the sauce freaks, a boat parade because… why the hell not, and a bunch more no-cost fun to fill your summer.

THIS WEEKEND

🇲🇽 Los Tigres Del Norte

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (8PM)

Los Tigres Del Norte bring the kind of norteño anthems that turn every show into a multigenerational sing-along.

🤠 Jesse Daniel

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Jesse Daniel is keeping honky-tonk alive with twang, grit, and the kind of heart that belongs in a smoke-filled roadside bar.

📼 Drive-In of the Dead

Tomorrow @ 99W Drive-In (12PM)

Vinyl. VHS. Artists. Vendors. Horror. Find it all at 99W Drive-In, followed a double feature of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Fright Night.

🎶 Yuno

Sunday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Yuno blends bedroom pop, R&B, and indie rock into smooth daydreams that feel tailor-made for late nights and long drives.

🤘 Young Widows

Sunday @ Star Theater (7PM)

Young Widows deal in noise-drenched heaviness with sludgy riffs, post-hardcore bite, and a darkness you can bang your head to.
