Wednesday’s here, and if you’re already daydreaming about ditching the heat (and your inbox), this is your sign. Enter one of our coolest giveaways yet: a cocktail class for two at Tipsy Scoop’s new ice cream barlour, tickets to the boundary-pushing Tomorrow Theater, and a night at Hotel Vintage – Portland’s downtown gem with wine tastings, bold design, and a game lounge built for grown-ups.

The Stay Cool Summer Staycation is calling. You in?

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Marina is back, bringing glamor, grit, and a whole lotta goddess energy to Keller Auditorium on September 10. Expect big feelings, bigger vocals, and maybe a sparkly cape. The Princess of Power is here to rule — grab your tickets now.

• Project Pabst hits Waterfront Park July 26–27. Iggy Pop brings the fire, Devo breaks it down, Death Cab gets reflective, and Japanese Breakfast delivers a late-night set worth staying for. Win tickets now.*

• Conor Oberst returns to rip open your heart (in the prettiest way possible). Bright Eyes plays the Grand Lodge on August 28 — outdoors, under the stars, ideally after a few tears. Lock in those lawn spots now.

• Bad Suns are back with their Acceleratour, hitting Wonder Ballroom on October 10 with hooks, heat, and a fresh tank of indie-pop fuel. It’s fast, it’s loud, it’s on sale now.

• Plus, other just announced shows from Disney's The Lion King, Rico Nasty, Marc Rebillet, Neko Case, and more!
