Yes, we’re only knee-deep into the new year, but it’s never too early to start marking your calendar with your concert wishlist. You know—the artists, bands, or events you swear you’ll buy tickets for this time… assuming they don’t sell out in 30 seconds, get postponed, or make you question standing for three hours on a concrete floor. Again.

Whether it’s The Gorge Amphitheatre, White River Amphitheatre, Climate Pledge Arena, or the slightly more intimate vibes of Chateau Ste. Michelle Amphitheatre, The Showbox (Seattle), Moore Theatre, and The Crocodile, there’s no shortage of shows that’ll make you simultaneously nostalgic, sweaty, and mildly regretful.
