I’m writing this at 2:32 AM because apparently the magnesium I’ve been taking was actually doing something. I ran out yesterday, Amazon failed me today, and now I’m wide awake. Another thing keeping me up? The number of you who haven’t entered this giveaway.
Wilco headlines Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday, 6/20, with fellow indie legends Yo La Tengo. The lineup alone should be enough to clear your calendar, but if it wasn’t, we’re adding free tickets to the mix. Enter to win.
JUST ANNOUNCED
Festival season just got busier. Join DoNYC MORE ($50 for 12 months!) and spend your summer saying yes to more concerts, festivals, and nights out across NYC. (Don’t thank me, thank DeWEE!)
If your ideal playlist includes Nirvana, Biggie, and songs you definitely burned onto a CD, this ’90s-themed singles mixer is calling. And chances are, anyone you meet there is on the same wavelength. Get tickets now.
Rising pop star ADÉLA brings her Red Bottoms Tour to Brooklyn Steel in September after a breakout run opening for Demi Lovato. Tickets on sale now.
