Tickets are going fast to see My Favorite Murder Live at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on October 12. Don’t miss the true crime comedy queens on what may be their final tour.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • If your spine isn’t vibrating, are you even at Bass Canyon? Excision’s annual bass baptism is back at The Gorge, and it’s gonna hit harder than a brick to the sternum (in the best way).

  • If it goes bump in the night and wears eyeliner, it’s on the playlist at Goth Night.
    Pulsing dark beats. Goth. Industrial. Darkwave. EBM. Post-punk. And everything deliciously bleak in between.

  • Color Green sounds like if Neil Young took mushrooms and joined a jam band.
    Their cosmic Americana hits like golden-hour road trip fuel. Get tickets to see them with Glyders at The Showdown in November.

  • Space: the final frontier. Now with a full damn symphony. Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage beams iconic scenes from across the franchise onto the big screen with a live orchestra blasting the most legendary scores in sci-fi history at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.

  • Ben Rector writes the soundtrack to your sentimental main character moments.
    Whether you’re falling in love, moving cross-country, or just reorganizing your feelings, don’t miss his bright-eyed pop and piano hooks live in March.

THE BEST PIZZA IN PORTLAND

Portland pizza is in its cocky era — and it should be. From wood-fired Neapolitan to 2am grease goblins, this city’s dough game is unreasonably strong. We mapped out the meltiest, crispiest, most fight-your-friends-over-a-slice spots in town.

THIS WEEK

🛠️ Nine Inch Nails

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (7:30PM)

Trent Reznor just booted up the machine again. Nine Inch Nails are back on tour, dragging all that industrial rage, beauty, and synth-scorched catharsis with them.

🪩 Jamie xx

Tomorrow @ Pioneer Square (7PM)

Jamie xx makes music for dance floors and existential spirals. The producer/DJ/genius behind your favorite remixes and the prettiest parts of The xx is hitting the road.

🎧 Claude VonStroke

Tomorrow @ The Den (10PM)

The Dirtybird boss is back, flinging weird, wobbly, body-moving house music wherever he lands. Expect basslines that flirt and drops that confuse with Claude VonStroke.

❤️ Heart

Tomorrow @ Gorge Amphitheatre (8PM)

Before your favorite band existed, Heart was already melting faces. Ann and Nancy Wilson have been breaking barriers (in heels, nonetheless) for decades. This tour’s a masterclass in power ballads, banshee wails, and guitar solos that could summon thunder.

🌹 Weeed & Oh, Rose

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Weeed and Oh, Rose are teaming up to melt minds and feelings. Weeed brings the psych-drenched jams that stretch time like taffy; Oh, Rose answers with raw, poetic catharsis that cuts straight to the gut.
