Daily Email - Wednesday - 11/5/2025

November 05, 2025

Put those post-election night jitters away because we have a fresh giveaway for ya.

The Portland Holiday Market is coming to Portland Expo Center from November 14-16. Get all the gifts and goodies you need for the holiday season! Win your way in.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The Minus 5 feel like a fever dream scored by jangly guitars and 40 years of indie rock brainworms. They’re back. With friends. With deep cuts. With weird-ass energy on December 19.

  • High on Fire is back to rattle your ribcage, summon ancient gods, and remind you what guitars were invented for. Get tickets for January 2!

  • Dub sorcerer. Sonic disruptor. Adrian Sherwood is touching down at Holocene with a bag of records and a brain full of bass science in April.

  • The Summer Set is back like it’s 2011 and your whole personality is Warped Tour. Relive the glory days at Hawthorne Theatre in April.

  • “Sweater Weather” was just the start — the vibe runs deep with The Neighbourhood. Get tickets for next October at Moda Center.

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

Your Wednesday is mid. Our prizes are not. You could be ringing in the New Year at Levitate, vibing with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, or buying artisanal gnome soap at a Scandinavian holiday market. All free. All very winnable.

THIS WEEK

🎶 The Decemberists

Tomorrow & Friday @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (7:30PM)

The Decemberists write sea shanties for English majors — and somehow it slaps. Expect baroque bangers, murder ballads, and at least one song about a chimney sweep named Reginald.

🎤 Freddie Gibbs

Tomorrow @ Roseland Theater (7PM)

Freddie Gibbs could out-rap your favorite rapper in his sleep. Then wake up, light a blunt, and do it again over a Madlib beat.

📣 Triathalon

Tomorrow @ Show Bar (9PM)

Triathalon sounds like your favorite dream after one too many backyard mushrooms. Get tickets to hear their new album, Funeral Music.

🔥 Edna Vasquez

Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Edna Vazquez sings like she’s channeling the cosmos through a vintage mic. Rooted in mariachi and raised on revolution, don’t sleep on this one.

🎸 Algernon Cadwallader

Tomorrow @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Algernon Cadwallader is emo for people who own power tools. Twinkly riffs, throat-shredding joy, and the kind of chaos that makes you believe in basements again. Welcome back, mathy kings.
