Is all the Halloween content too scary? Get tickets to the comedy show for a palate cleanser.

Nate Bargatze looks like a substitute teacher and delivers like a comedy assassin. He’s headed to Portland, and we’ve got free tickets for a few lucky folks who love jokes and hate paying for them.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Feeling festive? Comedy icons Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme can help with that. Win VIP access and meet these drag legends at The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show tour when it rolls through Portland!*

  • 20 years ago, Emery asked The Question—and a generation of scene kids screamed the answer back through eyeliner and heartbreak. Now they’re bringing the post-hardcore classic back on tour with Portland date in March.

  • Vandelux blends soul samples, slick synths, and late-night energy into something that hits like a rooftop set at golden hour. Start partying at Wonder Ballroom in April.

  • Chet Faker once vanished for years and came back like, “Yeah, I still got it.”
    Now he’s hitting the road with a synth-soul vengeance, and Roseland Theater is on the list.

  • 5 Seconds of Summer went from pop-punk heartthrobs to full-blown arena alchemists. You’re gonna scream every word at Moda Center in June.

🎶 Destin Conrad

Tonight @ Revolution Hall (8PM)

🎤 That Mexican OT

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (7PM)

That Mexican OT spits bars like he’s double-parked. Corridos meet trap meet cowboy chaos.

😮‍💨 D Smoke

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

D Smoke raps like a scholar raised on soul. Get tickets for bilingual bars, live instrumentation, and verses that hit the brain and body at once. It’s Inglewood intellect with a Grammy glow-up.

🎛️ Cut Chemist

Tomorrow @ The Get Down (9PM)

Cut Chemist cuts deeper than nostalgia this Halloween. Get pumped for OG Jurassic 5 wizardry, crate-digging magic, and turntablism that feels like time travel.

🎹 Rachael Yamagata

Friday @ The Old Church (7:30PM)

Rachael Yamagata writes ballads for the beautifully wrecked. Enjoy her smoky vocals, slow-burn heartbreak, and piano lines that ache in lowercase. Bring tissues. Or whiskey.
