AMP Fest is taking over three days with bands like Camp Crush, OGRE, and Death Parade — plus rising youth artists from the Artist Mentorship Program (AMP). This thing’s about more than music. It’s about lifting up youth experiencing homelessness and throwing down for community, healing, and change.*

  • Mitch and the Melody Makers, Portland’s favorite party band, return to Mississippi Studios for this year’s Holiday Spectacular! Get tickets for December 12 before it sells out!

  • The psychedelic Americana dream machine floats through like cosmic tumbleweed—equal parts front-porch jam and interstellar drift. Get tickets for Rose City Band at Mississippi Studios on December 15.

  • The king of deranged one-liners, deep-voiced weirdness, and mid-set detours into dolphin impressions is back. Get tickets for Harland Williams at Revolution Hall.

20 UNDER $25

Ballin’ on a budget? We dug up 20 shows where the ticket costs less than your Postmates order. Punk nights, indie darlings, sweaty raves—twenty excuses to leave the house for under $25.
