March 21, 2025

Ah, Friday—you glorious enabler of bad decisions and good stories. As you mentally clock out and plot your weekend mischief, let us toss a little leather-clad cherry on top: we're giving away tickets to Billy Idol and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts on 9/23 at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre. Yes, really. Sneer, strut, and maybe even win your way in.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Quartyard is turning 10, and they’re throwing a weekend-long rager to prove they’ve still got it. Three nights, three killer acts: Willis 4/4, Adrian Younge 4/5, and Rubblebucket 4/6. Here’s to a decade of good times!

  • Ringo Deathstarr hits Soda Bar 5/26 with glam-punk priestess Taleen Kali and local fuzz merchants Sledges. It’s reverb, eyeliner, and wall-of-sound worship—bring earplugs or don’t, we’re not your mom.

  • Chase West makes his Palms Beach Club headliner debut on 6/7. Tickets to the Fngrs Crssd gig at Beach House dropped today.

  • Psychedelic Zambian legends WITCH (aka We Intend To Cause Havoc, and yes—they do) land at Belly Up 9/4. It’s like finding your dad’s coolest vinyl, only louder, sweatier, and way more alive.

  • Plus, other Just Announced shows from Perfume Genius, Urika’s Bedroom, The Detroit Cobras, Rotimi, Sidekick, and more!
