Live Music in Portland Tonight

Portland's live music scene runs every night of the week across rooms like Crystal Ballroom, Hawthorne Theatre, and Dante's — from touring headliners to $10 local bills. Tonight's lineup below is pulled from venue calendars and refreshes daily, so a show that already sold out or wrapped won't waste your night. Prices and start times are shown for every listing.

Matches exactly what the Music + Today filters show on the live calendar, refreshed daily. A quiet night in the feed means a genuinely quiet night in this city's rooms, not a gap in the data.

How do I know if a Portland show is sold out before I go?

This list refreshes daily rather than showing a static roundup, so a show that's wrapped or sold out drops off — but ticket status itself lives on the source page, linked from every listing above.

No-cover and low-cover nights recur weekly: jazz at Keys Lounge on Killingsworth, theme karaoke at Dante's, and small-room shows under $15 across the city. Filter the FunPDX calendar by Music plus Free or Under $15 for the current lineup.
