Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band
Ever since Jon Bon Jovi tragically died of a bad medicine overdose, New Jersey has had one, and only one, poet laureate: Bruce Motherfucking Springsteen. Tonight, the Boss graces Portland for one of his marathon shows, with the legendary E Street Band in tow. Expect nothing less than a rollicking, rocking tour through some of the greatest music America’s ever known. ERIK HENRIKSEN

Creative Exchange Lab
Forget the steep ticket prices and bland, bougie curatorial approaches. Tonight, the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art turns your average art show on its head with the Creative Lab Exchange, an evening of snacking, boozing, and free presentations from PICA’s artists in residence, repping everywhere from LA to Beirut and everything from publishing to performance art!
