THIS WEEK

🚗 Late Night Drive Home

Tonight @ Hawthorne Theatre (8PM)

Late Night Drive Home makes music that feels like scrolling through old texts in a gas station parking lot while the world blurs by. Teenage melancholy and a splash of post-punk energy are at the forefront - don’t miss out!

🎸 MSPAINT

Tonight @ Polaris Hall (8PM)

MSPAINT slam punk, synths, and spoken word into a futuristic wall of sound that’s more movement than genre.

🔥 Shinedown

Tomorrow @ Moda Center (7PM)

Shinedown is arena rock built for emotional catharsis and high-volume singalongs. Expect big hooks, bigger choruses, and lyrics that shoot straight for the soul.

🦖 Dinosaur Jr & Snail Mail

Tomorrow @ Pioneer Square (6PM)

Dinosaur Jr. with Snail Mail is a fuzzed-out dream pairing we didn’t know we needed but now can’t live without. J Mascis shreds like the ‘90s never ended, while Snail Mail bleeds Gen Z heartache into every chord.

📣 Racoma

Friday @ Trout Lake Hall (8PM)

Seattle indie folk outfit Racoma brings an intimate front porch vibe to Trout Lake Hall with Jacob Miller. Get last-minute tickets to feel like you’re catching up with an old friend.
