Total Bummer Festival announced at Knockdown Center this May. What a lineup! (Spoilers: Jesus and Mary Chain + Dinosaur Jr. + yes, even _____!)

Dan Deacon is playing Pioneer Works in April and I'm thinkin' we should definitely go.

Rostam is rocking Webster Hall in June. Swoon.

Go to Under the K Bridge Park this summer for a really big version of Boiler Room. Come sweaty and ready to dance or be looked at askance.

Friends and collaborators Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE and Surf Gang are coming to Brooklyn Paramount this summer. Whoa.

Before anyone did anything, Dogstar did everything.

See the (outdoor) lineup for LadyLand 2026!

Have pizza with Ra Ra Riot this Monday in Manhattan. Hawaiian is fine. Free with RSVP.

Canadian post ___ art collective Crack Cloud is coming to Bowery Ballroom this summer. They sound like nobody meets warm apple pie.

Hunx and His Punx are playing TV Eye in July and you can go see 'em for only 30 bucx.

This spring, acclaimed NYC noise lovers Lip Critic are playing Chinatown, a laundromat and inside a boxing ring.

See who's playing the WFUV High Line Bash 2026!

Franz Ferdinand is playing The Paramount in L.I. this summer. If you have wheels and a healthy gas budget, please take me out.

Unbelievably, EMF are returning to NYC in May. Would say more, but my purple prose just gives me away.
