Trying to escape the discourse?

INIKO makes music that feels like it’s beamed from another galaxy — ethereal vocals, cosmic bass, vibes for days. We’ve got free tickets to their show at Wonder Ballroom next week. Enter now, ascend later.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Amos Heart is the kind of band that makes heartbreak feel cinematic — lush indie soundscapes, soaring hooks, and a little sting of nostalgia. Get tickets to their “local love letter” show at Mississippi Studios on October 15.

  • Keola Beamer & Henry Kapono bring the aloha spirit to Aladdin Theater with slack-key mastery, island soul, and songs that feel like sunset on the beach.

  • Weval bends electronic music into something hypnotic — part club, part dream sequence, all vibe. Expect heavy drops, hazy synths, and goosebumps at Holocene in February.

  • Monolink blurs the line between concert and rave — live guitar, aching vocals, and deep-house beats that hit like sunrise after a long night. Catch the trip at Wonder Ballroom in March.

  • Patrick Watson crafts dreamlike indie ballads that float between Jeff Buckley’s soul and Sigur Rós’ atmosphere. Expect goosebumps, tears, and maybe an out-of-body moment at Wonder Ballroom in April.

UPCOMING COMEDY SHOWS

Laughter marathon incoming: Esther Povitsky, Michael Yo, Kathleen Madigan, and more comics are rolling through with sets that’ll leave your face sore. Grab tickets now and treat yourself to the funny.
