Pete Yorn’s going full solo acoustic for one night only — just him, a guitar, and your feelings at Thalia Hall. The name says “very special evening,” and honestly... they’re not wrong. Save your spot.
Plus, Ruen Brothers, Surf Mesa, G Flip, Terrapin Flyer, Colin Hay, and more just announced shows!

Some patios are for sipping. Some are for posing. Some are for staring into the sun until your brain smooths out. We found the best ones for all of that. Whether you want margs with your dog or oysters with a date you met three hours ago, this list has the goods.
Bring sunglasses. You’re gonna need ‘em for the attention.
