Hey Do206ers! Today’s a special day because our Head of Ad Revenue, Ashley, is in town, and we’re excited to show off how cool Seattle is. We’ve got a day full of meetings followed by a team dinner at a spot that’s been on my list forever, so I’m especially excited for that. We love rolling out the red carpet for visitors around here. What are your go-to spots to take friends, family, or coworkers when they visit Seattle?

It’s also a special day because I’ve got a pretty wild offer exclusively for Do206 readers:

Buy one, get one tickets are officially on the table for The Black Keys at Remlinger Farms on 5/29 when you use code DO206. The Peaches ‘N Kream tour promises dirty riffs, bluesy swagger, and rock songs built for losing your voice outside.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Fifteen years of heartfelt lyrics and road-tested anthems are getting the full symphony treatment when Ben Rector hits Benaroya Hall on 6/24. Jon McLaughlin joins the night, which means Seattle is getting an unusually strong concentration of piano-driven feelings all at once.

• Neo-soul legend Bilal lands at The Crocodile on 9/19 alongside Yaya Bey for a night packed with velvet vocals, jazz instincts, and the kind of groove that makes standing still feel medically impossible. Philadelphia soul meets downtown NYC cool in the best possible way.

• Everything Everything celebrates 10 years of Get to Heaven on 9/21 with the frantic art-pop album that made existential dread feel surprisingly danceable. The anniversary tour hits The Crocodile for a night of chaotic hooks, nervous energy, and deeply committed indie fans.

• Nostalgic in the best possible way, The Smashing Pumpkins bring The Rats In A Cage Tour to Climate Pledge Arena on 11/6 with towering guitars, dreamy angst, and arena-sized choruses built to shake loose old memories. Tickets go on sale 5/21.

• And soooo many more just announced shows for you to check out here!
