October 01, 2025

The gloom is officially back, Portland! While we get comfy in the grey, take a moment to win tickets for avant-pop band Stereolab on October 19.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Taylor Swift is in her Showgirl Era, and Holocene is throwing the sparkliest damn party this side of the Eras Tour on October 9. Win free entry, skip the line, and unleash your inner “Mirrorball.”*

  • Karen and Georgia are hitting the stage live, and if you don’t have tickets yet… what are you doing?? Grab ‘em before they vanish like a 1970s hitchhiker in a small town with one cop and too many secrets.*

  • Portland’s fall calendar is stacked, but this one’s a standout: Kurtis Conner live at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on October 10. His mix of sharp stand-up and storytelling has fans around the world hooked. Enter now for your chance to win tickets!*

  • Doja Cat is coming to Portland next October, and frankly, reality may not survive. Expect latex, lasers, and at least one moment where you question the fabric of space-time.

  • Wet Leg is headed to Crystal Ballroom, and the girlies (and the guys and the gays) are already spiraling. Expect chaotic dance moves, cheeky lyrics, and at least one person screaming “Is your muffin buttered?” at full volume.

WHERE TO DRINK CHAI IN PORTLAND

Sure, pumpkin spice gets the press. But real ones know fall belongs to chai. Milky, spicy, a little sweet, it’s the cozy hug your mouth deserves. Portland’s got some top-tier cups, and we sipped our way through the best so you don’t have to.

TOMORROW

🤠 Clem Snide

Tomorrow @ Polaris Hall (8PM)

Clem Snide makes music for people who cry at commercials and still believe in ghosts. Think: heartbreak, healing, and weird little lyrical miracles. Show up, zone out, feel everything.

🤘 Circle Jerks

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (8PM)

Circle Jerks are bringing their decades-deep chaos to Portland, and it’s gonna be loud, fast, and beautifully unhinged. Hardcore history in the flesh.

🎶 aurorawave

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Imagine if your favorite dream had a synth soundtrack and was performed under a planetarium dome. Catch aurorawave live and float all the way home.

🔥 BUNT.

Tomorrow @ REALM PDX (8PM)

BUNT. is coming to Portland with the kind of feel-good, sun-drunk energy that could make a tax seminar slap. Stompy beats and folk-pop hooks are coming up quick.

🇲🇽 Palomozo Norteño

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (8:30PM)

Palomozo Norteño is pulling up with boots stomping, brass blazing, and corridos that hit straight in the chest. Portland’s about to get a proper dose of norteño heat.
