We spent the whole weekend celebrating grads, and honestly? Kansas City’s future is looking real good right now. Big cheers to everyone tossing caps, finishing chapters, and stepping into what’s next.

Alsoooo, I still need to pick a winner for the Amble show. If you haven’t entered yet, go smash that link real quick and let me hook you up.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• OUTLOUD Music Festival returns June 5th–7th to WeHo with JADE, Ava Max, The Pussycat Dolls, and more. Enter to win VIP tickets, a hotel stay, and a $600 travel credit.*

• Some bands don’t just soundtrack an era, they become part of people’s personalities. Rilo Kiley returns to Uptown Theater on May 27th with all the indie sleaze energy, sharp lyrics, and emotional whiplash you could ask for.

• Pop chaos, couture, and a setlist that’s guaranteed to take over your camera roll. Doja Cat brings the Tour Ma Vie World Tour to T-Mobile Center on October 6th, and this one is going to feel like the internet came to life.

• Two decades later, and indie kids are still emotionally attached to Menos El Oso. Minus the Bear hits The Granada on September 11th for a nostalgia-heavy night of mathy riffs, late-night feelings, and songs that somehow still sound ahead of their time.

• A guitar legend walking into an arena with decades of classics behind him still feels unreal. Eric Clapton takes over T-Mobile Center on September 17th for a night packed with blues, rock history, and the kind of solos that stop a room cold.
