MusicfestNW | 20 venues in Portland, OR | September 7-11
Tickets:$16 -$70; $115 -$250 for VIP wristbands, which provide access to club shows and a varying number of performances at Pioneer Courthouse Square.
The MFNW is in its 11th year and will play host to more than 150 bands at various venues in the Emerald City. Many of the bands are ones you’ve never heard of (and won’t unless you see them there), but bigger names like Band of Horses, Brand New, The Kills, Iron & Wine, Archers of Loaf, and Butthole Surfers are the main attractions. Getting around to the different clubs can be a pain in the ass since the venues are spread out around the city, but if you like alt-rock tunes or just want to hear some no-name band cover a popular alt-rock tune, this is a must-stop.
