Happy Friday, KC! We made it. The emails are answered (mostly), the week is wrapping up, and it's officially time to start thinking about what you’re doing TONIGHT!

My only goal for the next few days is to do something fun that doesn't involve staring at a screen... which is funny because here I am writing you this email. But hey, we're all doing our best.

Whether you want to sing along to iconic throwback hits with TLC, Salt-N-Pepa, and En Vogue, catch Kacey Musgraves live with special guest Charles Wesley Godwin, or pack your bags for a Chicago adventure with The Black Keys, we've got your ticket dreams covered.

Enter to win one, or try your luck at winning them all, it’s Friday!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Calling all pop queens. Diva! takes over Warehouse on Broadway on July 18th with a dance floor full of powerhouse anthems from the biggest divas in music.

• Cargo shorts optional. KCeMO's Divorced Dad Rock hits Warehouse on Broadway on July 18th with wall-to-wall alt-rock, post-grunge classics, and enough nostalgia to have you screaming every word. Tickets are going fast.

• Few groups changed hip-hop quite like Cypress Hill. Catch the legends behind classics like “Insane in the Brain” as they bring decades of West Coast rap to Uptown Theater on July 22nd.

• Dreamy synths, shimmering guitars, and late-night nostalgia—that's the world of 54 Ultra. The indie-pop artist brings his hazy bedroom-pop sound to The Truman on July 27th.

• Trade the festival fits for frills, bows, and neon because Kawaii Rave is turning Warehouse on Broadway into an anime-inspired dance party on August 22nd. Expect high-energy EDM, J-pop remixes, cosplay, and chaos. Tickets anyone?
