THIS WEEK

🎤 Beabadoobee

Tomorrow @ Theater of the Clouds (7:30PM)

Beabadoobee is the indie darling you didn’t know you needed but absolutely can’t live without. Clearly raised right on a steady diet of 90s alt-rock and bedroom pop, she’s the Gen Z poster child for dreamy nostalgia with a grunge-kissed edge.

🚨 Ryan Montbleau

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (8PM)

Ryan Montbleau’s sound is like a mixtape you didn’t know you needed. Folk? Check. Funk? Absolutely. Soul? You bet. Reggae? Why not.

😂 David Nihill

Tomorrow @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

Irishman David Nihill turned a fear of public speaking into a global comedy career, and somehow made storytelling cooler than Netflix binges. Don’t miss the Shelf Help Tour.

🔥 Sam Fender

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (7PM)

Popular UK artist Sam Fender is proving that his anthems of everyday struggles translate just as well across the pond as they do in Newcastle pubs. His latest album, People Watching, is a technicolor indie-rock masterpiece.

🪩 80s Kids

Tomorrow @ Star Theater (7PM)

Let’s be honest—while 80s music is often dismissed as cheesy, it’s undeniably the decade that delivered some of the catchiest hits per capita. Get tickets to 80s Kids to hear Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Human League, and more.
