Happy Pride, Happy Pride, Happy Pride. I know I’ve said that a lot over the last three days, but can y’all blame me? I’m excited. Maybe too excited, if that’s even possible.

This weekend, you’ll catch me at KC PrideFest, and honestly, I hope I catch y’all there too. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we’ve still got a few days to go. So let me try to contain my excitement for at least a minute.

Because Pride Month deserves a little extra fun, we're sending one lucky bestie to see Margaret Cho at Folly Theater on June 13th. Legendary comedian, iconic one-liners, and a free night out? Say less.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Remember when EDM ruled your entire personality? The Classics Only Tour hits Aura Nightclub on June 20th, with Morgan Page spinning the tracks. Add this one to your calendar.

• Kacey Musgraves brings her latest tour to T-Mobile Center on September 23rd with special guest Charles Wesley Godwin, and this one feels destined for singing along with strangers.

• Somewhere between indie rock, southern grit, and a road trip you never wanted to end, you'll find Futurebirds. Catch them at recordBar on July 8th for a night that feels like summer.

• Overthinking has never sounded this good. Courtney Barnett heads to The Truman on August 15th with Zoh Amba for a night of guitar fuzz and the kind of songs that make you feel seen.

• The eyeliner may be gone, but the emotional damage remains. Taking Back Sunday, Thrice, and Saves The Day are bringing a stacked lineup to The Midland on October 4th, and the crowd is absolutely going to know every word.
