Daily Email - Thursday - 5/8/2025

Thursday’s here, and so is that vague sense of time collapse where April felt like two days ago and July is somehow around the corner. Speaking of summer speeding at us: Father John Misty, Lucinda Williams, and Hamilton Leithauser are sharing a bill at Cal Coast on 7/23 – and we’re giving away tickets. Go ahead, enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Duckwrth rolls into The Observatory on 9/28 for his All American Freak Show Tour, fresh off his latest album All American F**kboy. Known for blending rap, funk, punk, and R&B, his shows feel like a fever dream and you should be there. Grab your tickets tomorrow!

  • Grease the hair and gas up the hearse – Reverend Horton Heat and Messer Chups are doing a two-night takeover at Casbah, 9/25 and 9/26. Tickets went on sale today to listen to their three decades’ worth of surf-goth live!

  • There’s loud, and then there’s 8/24 at The Observatory. That’s when Yungblud storms the stage – platinum hair, plaid pants, and all. He’s made angst into anthems and mosh pits feel like group therapy. Bring your volume.

  • Soft-spoken vocals, sad-boy swagger, and production chops – Keshi brings his Revolves Tour to SOMA on 8/13. With a fanbase that treats every lyric like gospel, this one’s for the heartbreakers, the heartbroken, and everyone in between.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Benson Boone, Nekromantix, Grandaddy, Jackie Greene, Steve Miller Band, and more!
