Our regularly scheduled free block party is back! I’m pretty excited to catch a dj set by Washed Out. I’ve seen em live at festivals but I wonder if he’s a good dj. Only one way to find out. Lots of cool stuff going on downtown all night.
FREE Downtown First Thursdays | July 3
I always like supporting my local djs, including my friend Starfari. Never a disappointing set. Great venue, this is going to be awesome. Kikimora seems like it’s gonna be a dope live set of R&B, Acid Jazz, and Neo Soul!
Mark Quark | DJ M3 | Starfari | Kikimore (live)| FSQ | Mo'ski | Playstation @ The Great Northern | July 3
This annual 4th of July weekend block party is always a hit! The Midway is an awesome venue and this lineup won’t disappoint
IllUM Block Party w/ Alan Walker + Audien @ The Midway | July 5
Illenium always draws a huge crowd, especially in SF. He’s got some good trance style music that you do not want to miss. Bill Graham is one of my favorite venues in the city too.
ILLENIUM @ Bill Graham | Jul 11, 2025
For my Cannabis lovers! 7/11 is “Oil Day” which is like 4/20 but for concentrates and hash. Looks like there will be some cool brands and activations. This will take place at the Midways new warehouse next to the venue.
SF Hash Week Warehouse Party @ The Midway | July 11
A great underrated dj! Love catching his dj sets. Apparently he’s starting this whole new persona with a new music vibe. Expect uplifting house music with catchy vocals. Yum.
Ross From Friends presents BUBBLE LOVE @ Great Northern | July 11
Get that R&B soul fix from the legendary Macy Grayyy! One of the coolest venue locations in the city, the Palace of Fine Arts is a work of magic.
Macy Gray - On How Life Is @ Palace of Fine Arts | July 12
Yes, that Luigi haha. I guess that didn’t take long to come out with a music about Luigi Mangioni. Now, this is at the Independent so it’s no broadway spectacle, but should be interesting. We can always use some satire in our lives.
Luigi: the Musical @ The Independent | Jul 13
This is gonna be soo cool. The YYYs are an icon band and Karen O is a beast. This tour puts them aside an orchestra!! I wish I knew about this sooner. The tickets are a bit pricey but this will be quite a spectacle.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Hidden In Pieces Tour | Jul 14
This sounds so nerdy and might be pretty epic for my friends of scientific research. 3 very interesting topics, check out these awesome presentations:
Danielle Bezalel - 1,000 People Masturbated… for Science!
Trace Dominguez - Iocaine Scandal: Was ...
Nerd Nite SF #153 @ Rickshaw Stop | July 16
The space traveler is coming to SF. This will definitely be an interesting show. I don’t think KP will ever disappoint, it might even get pretty silly. Chase Center is usually a good time.
KATY PERRY - THE LIFETIMES TOUR @ Chase Center | Jul 18
Let’s dance in the forest! This is one of my favorite camping festivals in one of my favorite places in California, right on the Eel River. Do not miss Jungle and Zeds Dead!
Northern Nights x Dirtybird Campout @ Humboldt-Mendocino County Line | July 18-20
I haven’t been to a show at the ballpark yet, but this is gonna be an awesome emo throwback. I watched Kendrick Lamar from my friends rooftop patio recently and it looked cool. They will be performing The Black Parade for its 20ish year anniversary! ...
My Chemical Romance @ Oracle Park | Jul 19
Make it rain gurl make it rain! This is gonna be a doozy. Yaeji has some cool tracks and a fun stage presence. Don’t miss this iconic star.
Yaeji @ The Midway | July 19
Mamas coming to SF! This tour looks to be one of Gaga’s wildest acts yet. Her set at Coachella blew us all away (I watched from home lol), I wonder if the tour will match that amazing performance.
Lady Gaga: The MAYHEM Ball | Jul 24
Ok here’s another throwback show for the month. These guys bring all the ska and rock vibes from the early 2000’s! Don’t miss this energetic show at a great venue .
Streetlight Manifesto @ The Regency Ballroom | July 25
Shameless ear plug pluggg! If you’re going to concerts often, don’t make the same mistake I did in my 20s - not wearing hearing protection at music events. Hearing damage can happen quick, just wear em. These new ones are cool, now you can adjust the...
