JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Seattle’s calling. Our friends at Do206 wanna send you to Bumbershoot with GA+ passes and a hotel stay. Two days of art, music, chaos, and pineapple bathrobes. Say less.*

  • Kyp and the crew are back - and no, you're not hallucinating. TV On The Radio just dropped tour dates like it’s 2008 again. Get tickets for Revolution Hall on October 9.

  • TRSH is crawling out of Missouri’s gutter and onto the stage, bringing the kind of noise that makes your mom pray harder. Get tickets for Polaris Hall on November 12.

  • Respect your elders - especially when they invented the blueprint. Raekwon + Mobb Deep aren’t just doing a nostalgia lap. They’re running through 30 years of New York rap’s grimiest, most iconic moments at Crystal Ballroom on November 13.

  • London’s own Sorry makes music for the heartbreakers and the heartbroken. Warped, wounded, and weird, their sound is like glitchy indie pop laced with bad decisions. Catch the blokes at Mississippi Studios on December 17.

HOW TO DO SUMMER IN PORTLAND

Look, summer’s not gonna do itself. That’s your job. And lucky for you, we just dropped the ultimate guide to doing it right. Whether your vibe is rooftops and rosé or BBQ and bad decisions, we’ve got the goods.

THIS WEEK

🤠 Giovannie and The Hired Guns

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (7:30PM)

Giovannie and The Hired Guns are what happens when small-town heartbreak meets big-ass distortion pedals. Think country roots dipped in tequila and dragged through a dive bar jukebox.

😊 Sharpie Smile

Tomorrow @ Holocene (7PM)

Straight outta LA’s underbelly, Sharpie Smile is a glittery, grimy mix of punk, alt, and pure emotional damage.

🪩 3L3D3P

Tomorrow @ Polaris Hall (9PM)

Welcome to the haunted rave. 3L3D3P is LA’s cryptic sonic force - bending darkwave, trip-hop, and electro-noise into something that feels like both a séance and a protest.

🎤 Creed

Tomorrow @ Cascades Amphitheater (7PM)

Say what you will - Creed ruled your cousin’s CD changer for a reason. Post-grunge anthems. Emotional overload. Power ballads for dudes who cry in trucks.

💨 Wiz Khalifa

Thursday @ Cascades Amphitheater (5PM)

Wiz Khalifa is a walking playlist of hazy anthems and laid-back flexes. From the frat parties to the dispensaries, he's been soundtracking chill chaos since the MySpace era.

LOCALS ONLY

  • The annual Soapbox Derby is back this weekend - and no, your cousin’s beer cooler on wheels still isn’t street legal. Homemade chaos hits the hill Saturday at 10 AM.

  • Enjoy Hawthorne Boulevard’s free summer concert series beginning this Thursday at 5 PM and running through September 14 on select dates.

  • The End of Summer Pearl Party on September 13 will feature live music, food & drinks, football, raffles, and more.

Song of the day: Night Vision - Kiwi Jr.
