Happy Monday, happy June, happy Pride! It’s really starting to ramp up in Seattle, and it’s feelin’ like summer! Like… this summer's lineup of events here is actually so stacked, and I’m sooo excited to share it with you all. I hope y’all had a great weekend and enjoyed some sunny weather. Let’s get into it!

I gotta tell ya, I am NOT a runner, but a 5K feels a lot more appealing when there’s a Diplo concert waiting at the finish line. Diplo’s Run Club returns to Seattle Center on 9/12 with a city run, post-race festival, and live DJ set. Use code DO206-15 for 15% off registration and enter to win a pair of GA tickets.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Trapsoul changed the sound of modern R&B, and Bryson Tiller is bringing that legacy to Seattle on 11/1 with The Neo Trapsoul Tour. Climate Pledge Arena hosts the singer’s return to the stage, and tickets officially go on sale 6/5.

• French Police brings its brooding post-punk sound to The Crocodile on 10/9. The Chicago trio pulls inspiration from New Order and Depeche Mode, blending driving rhythms, shimmering guitars, and dark-wave atmosphere into something that feels both vintage and fresh. With Social Order opening, it's a strong night for anyone who misses when dance music got a little gloomy.

• Queer pop bangers, hyperpop favorites, and enough Heated Rivalry obsession to fill a dance floor are headed to Nectar Lounge on 6/4. Crash The Cottage Chemistry celebrates everyone’s favorite rivalry with a night dedicated to dancing, flirting, and losing your voice.*

• Hot air balloons glowing against the evening sky make a pretty strong case for getting out of the house on 7/25. Kla Ha Ya Days Balloon Glow brings live music, food trucks, local vendors, and family-friendly fun to Harvey Airfield. Enter for a chance to win a pair of tickets.*

• Plus other just announced shows from Jeff Bernat, Lauren Sanderson, and more!
