The Lot at Zidell Yardsāa new outdoor event space that neighbors OHSU's buildings on the South waterfrontāannounced a full lineup of summer concerts and film screenings this morning. Planned musical acts include Ural Thomas & The Pain, Y La Bamba, and Federale, and tickets for some shows are already on sale.
The new slate of acts is welcome news for those who hope to achieve some level of post-vaccination revelry this summer, as it's still unclear when indoor concert venues will be willing and able to reopen in Oregon. While some movie theaters have reopened, attendance capacity is still limited. Zidell Yards bills itself as "our city's premier socially-distanced, outdoor performance venue," meaning attendees won't have to worry about being thrown back into a big crowd after a year of avoiding contact with most other humans.
The venue's summer movie lineup is mostly done in partnership with the Hollywood Theatre, and features beloved classics rather than new releases. Some films are paired with an opening musical act, meaning you can listen to the Portland Cello Project before watching E.T. on May 28; local country-rock group Roselit Bone before Thelma and Louise on June 15; and hip-hop duo Cool Nutz and DJ Fatboy before Coming to America on June 26.
Additionally, Zidell Yards will host Pride Pics: An Outdoor Film Experience, curated by the QDoc Film Festival, during Pride week in Juneāone of the few in-person Pride events folks will be able to attend this year.
Check out the full lineup, courtesy of a Zidell Yards press release, below. Tickets are now for sale unless otherwise indicated; you can buy them here. Tickets appear to be selling fast, so you'll want to act sooner rather than later.
