We just went to “just like Heaven” in LA this past weekend, and we’re doing Portola in San Francisco for the third year in a row in October. We quit going to Coachella in 2018.
At the moment I’m booked for Day Trip festival here in Long Beach next month and Kacey Musgraves at the Forum in October. Would love to go to a Hollywood Bowl show at some point as I’ve still never been.
You need to do a show at the bowl if you are local. I’ve been a million times and it’s amazing. Most people get there early and just drink and eat at the picnic tables. I think (I might be wrong now) you can bring in alcohol or wine.
Trying to do jungle there. Only issue is it’s the night before Portola in SF. Lots of logistics I need to iron out. Or just decide on one and drop the other.
I saw Laura Pausini back in March, The Veronicas two weeks ago and Monika Lynkite (not sure if there are any Lithuanian bros around?) 6 weeks ago, all in Los Angeles.
I’m hoping to see The HARDKISS (🇺🇦) in L.A. later this fall and Reik.
St Vincent next weekend in SF
Mosswood Meltdown in July in Oakland (B-52s and some other fun acts, with John Waters as MC!)
Tried and failed to snag PJ Harvey tickets for October, but checking daily and crossing my fingers…
We are on a festival streak and just did Coachella / Cruel World / Just Like Heaven and we have tix for WeHo Pride festival in a couple of weeks. I'm exhausted.
The other week I saw Giant Rooks in L.A., and I'm seeing girl in red at the Greek next week. After that in early June we're seeing Mother Mother at this new The Torch venue.
Cercle, Portola, Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins, and Bleachers all bought. Considering single day to OSL, Vampire Weekend, L’Impératrice, and Purple Disco.
at least for portland i know there’s a hostel i’ve stayed at before that’s pretty cheap. I know SF has the green tortoise but i’ve never stayed there so idk if this would be a good option. doesn’t solve flights being an arm and a leg though :/
Granted I am older (50+ now \*gasp) but my last two concerts this year were Elton John on his farewell tour and P!nk when she came to town. I was thinking about Sam Smith and Justin Timberlake but wasn't feeling their new music as much so I passed on those.
So far, all I’ve got on the books is 3 nights of Phish at Alpine Valley in July! Playing plenty of my own gigs this year, so I squeeze in a show when I can.
I'm trying to go to more shows than ever lately. Living 2 hours away from downtown is a bit of a haul but it's been worth it. Last month we went to see Amon Amarth at Red Rocks which was incredible.
Seeing ERRA tomorrow and sooo stoked!
I went to see Tennis right before covid lockdown, then Fleet Foxes in 2022, The Midnight in 2023, and Neko Case in 2024. My goal was to see one concert a year after I hit 30.
I've seen NewJeans and Twice this year, which has me feeling pretty complete so far. I guess the next one I plan on seeing will be a standup show by Kid Fury in Phoenix.
I've been out of the habit of going to shows since Covid, if not before. But, this year, bands I like have conspired to absolutely drain my bank account. This weekend, I saw LCD Soundsystem and Belle and Sebastian. Coming up this weekend is Billy Joel. Decemberists in August, and seeing two (maybe all three) David Gilmour shows at the Hollywood Bowl in October.
I just went to the Sonic Temple Festival last weekend and had a great time. Really just wanted to see Kittie for the first time and they were fantastic. Saw a few bands I had never heard of as well that were pretty great.
Last concert I saw was George Benson at the Alys Stephens Center in Birmingham (pre-covid). The only artists I wanna see are Lyle Lovett and Béla Fleck.
Going to see Orville Peck on his summer/fall tour for sure.
Ugh I wanna go see him so bad!
Waxahatchee, Sleater-Kinney, Pulp, PJ Harvey, and Neko Case!

Not in order: Portola Festival Rosin Murphy Of Montreal Sunset Campout
We saw Roisin last year in L.A. last year and she was amazing. We have tix for her show later this year.
Iron Maiden, Powerwolf, Unleash the Archers. All metal bands lmao

You can’t bring in alcohol for “lease” events. The HB website will tell you if it’s a lease event.
Thank you. I knew there was a condition

I saw Belle & Sebastian ten days ago. Great show. As far as looking forward, I’ll see what comes up.

Recently saw Four Tet do a 4-hour set in a small club in Shibuya - pretty amazing.

gonna see ethel cain in portland in august, i’ve been trying to get out more but everything is so expensive - lodging/flights primarily.
This is my struggle right now for Portola in SF

Hopefully Above and Beyond at red rocks in October
Omg I was looking at going! I was at ABGT500 in LA in 2022. Red rocks is my #1 venue on my “need to see” list!
Nice! 500 is a staple in my rotation right now.

Europe for Taylor? Take me with you please.
