It’s giving locker room anthems and main-character meltdowns.

We’re sending you to Heated Rivalry: A Jockstar Rave — A Night of Gay Party Boy Anthems, where the playlist is sweaty, the sing-alongs are unhinged, and the dance floor feels like a championship game (but hotter).

JUST ANNOUNCED

• You have four chances to see Brandi Carlile from March through May. Two shows were just announced at Hayden Homes Amphitheater on May 20+21.

• Death Angel is pulling up with riffs sharp enough to draw blood. The Bay Area thrash legends are still killing the game. Get tickets for June 16 at Hawthorne Theatre.

• Ali Wong is bringing the heat to Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall this August, and no one is safe — not husbands, not babies, not you in Row G.

• Earth, Wind & Fire are levelling up this September (8th, not 21st, unfortunately) at The Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene.

• Soda Blonde is sliding into Mississippi Studios with shimmering alt-pop that feels like crying in the club but in a chic, main-character way.

PORTLAND SPRING GUIDE (WE'RE ALMOST THERE)

Spring in Portland is that magical window where the rain chills out (a little), the cherry blossoms show off, and suddenly we all remember we love it here. Our Spring Guide has your farmers market circuit mapped, the ice cream shops worth the line, rooftop bars for your first “it’s warm enough” drink, happy hours that hit just right, and a bunch more excuses to leave the house. Vitamin D season starts now….or soon enough.

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY

• If you’ve ever yelled “That’s what she said” at the wrong time, this is your Super Bowl. The Office Trivia Night is coming in hot at The Social Spoon, with Dundie-worthy prizes and questions that separate the Michaels from the Tobys on March 20.

• A brand new festival hits Waterfront Park this June. Me Gusta Festival unites Sublime with Cypress Hill, The Interrupters, Long Beach Dub Allstars, and more. Tickets are on sale now!

• Survivor 50 watch parties are going down every Wednesday at Jackie’s, and yes, alliances will be formed over tequila sodas. Come yell at the TV, argue about blindsides, and pretend you would’ve “totally seen that coming.”
