As you gear up for the incoming atmospheric river this weekend, use the time to catch up on Halloween movies! Once your eyes start to glaze over, enter to win!

New Zealand’s smoothest export since Lorde’s side-eye? That’d be LEISURE—dropping velvet-layered funk, psych, and soul like it’s nothing. Win tickets to catch their groove-drenched set live.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Atmosphere’s hitting the road with a full freakshow of underground legends.
    The Winter Carnival Tour is rolling deep with Sage Francis, R.A. The Rugged Man, Kool Keith, Mr. Dibbs. Get tickets for Roseland Theater in February.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS EVENTS

Honor the spirits, indulge your senses, and celebrate life (and the afterlife) with our favorite Día de los Muertos events around town. We’re talking vibrant markets, late-night fiestas, soul-stirring storytelling, and a tasting menu that’ll make you weep—in a good way. Whether you're lighting candles or just showing up hungry, there’s something for every soul.

TOMORROW

🎤 Destroyer

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

Destroyer’s cryptic croon, loungey detours, and existential sleaze hit different live. Get lost in the swirl at Dan’s Boogie Tour tomorrow night.

🔪 Shonen Knife

Tomorrow @ Star Theater (9PM)

Shonen Knife is blasting pop-punk joy straight from Osaka. Ramones energy, Hello Kitty vibes, and songs about food, friendship, and shredding—this cult trio has been ruling since the ‘80s, and they’re still unstoppable.

🎛️ Sickick

Tomorrow @ REALM PDX (9PM)

Sickick is the masked maestro turning emotional damage into EDM gold. Dark drops, hypnotic mashups, and a vibe that lives somewhere between heartbreak and the afterparty.

😂 Sal Vulcano

Tomorrow @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (7PM)

Sal Vulcano is stepping out from the pranks and into the spotlight. The Impractical Jokers legend brings his awkward charm and offbeat stand-up to the stage—less hidden camera, more oversharing in public.

🎸 Saturdays at Your Place

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Saturdays at Your Place is making big feelings sound like basement anthems. Earnest emo riffs, shouted choruses, and just enough twinkle to break your heart.
