JUST ANNOUNCED

• Gen Z rapper Nettspend went viral on Twitter (yes, really) and has been on the rise ever since. Catch his tour landing at Crystal Ballroom on April 10.

• John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, and Mike Birbiglia are linking up for a night of razor-sharp bits, unhinged impressions, and wildly specific rants about things like jazz drummers and hospital snacks. They’re hitting Bend and Eugene this May.

• Kenny Mason’s bringing bark and bite to Hawthorne Theatre in May. The American BULLDAWG Tour is locked in—loud, raw, and ripping through walls between rap, rock, and rage.

• The band that soundtracked your most questionable teenage decisions is back with the same fire, riffs, and throat-shredding hooks that made you punch your steering wheel in 2002. Get tickets for Saliva at Hawthorne Theatre in June!

• Thee Sacred Souls and La Lom are sharing a stage at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and it’s gonna feel like slow dancing under a desert moon on August 12.

LUNAR NEW YEAR EVENTS

We rounded up the best Lunar New Year events around Portland. Lion dances, lantern viewings, food specials, a rave, and plenty of ways to start the Year of the Fire Horse with a bang (and a snack).

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• The community has rallied around Leach Botanical Garden after it expressed an imminent closure due to a lack of funding. They have raised over $88,000, enough to operate through the middle of May. Go support so we don’t lose another important local institution!

• The Waterfront Blues Festival is bringing the heat this Fourth of July weekend with a stacked lineup featuring Tank and the Bangas, The Revivalists, and Durand Jones & The Indications, plus a deep bench of blues, funk, soul, and roots acts.

• Whether you’re into hoagies, bánh mì, tortas, melts, or whatever unhinged creation your neighborhood deli just invented — this is your Super Bowl. And your lunch plans. See 88 specials for Sandwich Week.
