Hey KC, welcome back to the week. Shake off the Sunday scaries, we’ve got something better.

Bad Suns bring the ACCELERATOUR to The Madrid on March 30th, and we’re sending one of you for FREE. Indie-rock hooks, late-night-drive energy, and the kind of set that makes a Monday feel like a Friday. Enter to win a pair of tickets and secure your spot.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Basketball season deserves a proper send-off. The BIG 12 Basketball Tournament Afterparty lands at Kansas City Live! on March 14th with DJ Khaled behind the booth. It’s time for an all-caps celebration.

• Post Malone doesn’t do small. The BIG ASS Stadium Tour pulls into Kauffman Stadium on July 15th, turning a summer night into a full-scale singalong. Fireworks energy, chart-toppers for days, and 40,000 of your closest friends.

• Flatland Cavalry rides into Starlight Theatre on August 21st with the kind of Texas country that feels honest and loud. Think harmonies under the open sky and songs built for windows-down drives.

• Brunch, but make it a sport. The Pitch’s Brunched returns to The Guild on April 4th for its seventh year of boozy breakfast. Show up hungry, pace yourself, and prepare to argue about who makes the best bite in the city.

• Black skinny jeans optional, feelings mandatory. Emo Nite takes over Warehouse on Broadway on May 1st for a night of scream-it-back anthems. Hydrate accordingly.

THIS WEEK

News Without the Noise (Or the Nervous Breakdown)

If your morning news feels like it chugged three energy drinks, maybe try something calmer. 1440’s editors scan 100+ reliable sources, cut the noise, and deliver a sharp 5-minute rundown of what actually matters in politics, business, science, and culture. No spin. No bots. No drama. Just clear, levelheaded news — always free.*

LOCALS ONLY

• Longer days mean more time at the Zoo. Beginning this spring, weekend hours extend to 9:30 am–5 pm, while weekdays continue at 9:30 am–4 pm. Find more about the Spring schedule, here.

• The former Kansas City Star building at 17th and McGee has traded typewriters for taps. Ricochet, an Iowa-based bar-and-games concept, now fills the historic space with shuffleboard, darts, Skee-Ball, cornhole, and Miller High Life!
