Portland: ready to yeet this cursed year into the void?

Levitate NYE is back at 45 East, and they’re bringing trance titans Cosmic Gate to blast your soul into 2026. Lights, lasers, and full-body euphoria ’til sunrise. You bring the chaos — we’ll bring the free tickets. Enter now. Start 2026 at 140 BPM.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Veganizer's third annual World Vegan Month is taking over November, with dozens of local spots serving up limited-time vegan specials. Eat well, feel good — a portion of every bite goes to local causes. Skip the meat, save the world.*

  • Dead Prez shows feel like boot camp for the mind. Militantly funky, politically sharp, and louder than a cop car speaker. Get tickets for the Let’s Get Free 25th anniversary at The Get Down.

  • Cat Power announced two shows at Revolution Hall to celebrate ‘The Greatest’ 20th anniversary in February.

  • CMAT writes country songs for chaotic pop girls with philosophy degrees. Yeehaw but make it existential. See the international pop star at Crystal Ballroom.

  • Jim Gaffigan is back to whisper-scream about food, parenting, and the slow collapse of society. Secure your tickets to the Everything Is Wonderful Tour next June.

TRIBUTE SHOWS & DANCE PARTIES

A Norah Jones cover night for the feelings, a Britney Spears dance party for the drama, an Allman Brothers tribute for the jam heads, and a New Wave bash for the synth romantics. Throw in a few more and you’ve got the kind of lineup that only happens in fever dreams (or really good venues).

THIS WEEK

🤠 Patterson Hood + Craig Finn

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (9PM)

Two of America’s best barstool poets, one stage. Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers) and Craig Finn (The Hold Steady) trade songs, stories, and hard-earned truths about small towns, big feelings, and the weird shit in between.

🎶 Margo Price

Tomorrow @ Wonder Ballroom (8PM)

Margo Price plays country like she’s dragging it through the dive bar, setting it on fire, and still hitting every damn note. Grit, glitter, protest songs, and pedal steel. She’s the real deal.

📣 Malaa

Tomorrow @ REALM PDX (9PM)

Malaa shows up in a ski mask and leaves with the crowd in a trance. Bass-heavy, shadowy, and built for dark rooms with too many strobe lights.

🤘 Shudder To Think

Tomorrow @ Star Theater (8PM)

Shudder to Think made glam post-hardcore before anyone knew what to call it. Art rock? Punk cabaret? Whatever it is, it still slaps decades later.

🌊 They Are Gutting a Body of Water

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (9PM)

They Are Gutting a Body of Water sounds like a shoegaze mixtape duct-taped to a malfunctioning VHS deck.
