The Roots
It's been said The Roots put on the best live show in the entire hip-hop genre. We don't doubt it. The legendary Roots Crew, led by drummer Questlove and rapper Black Thought, have been challenging the genre's status quo since 1987. They even pull off being a house band for a late night show without losing their effortless cool. But, if there's one thing that could make their live show even more magical, it's ZOO ANIMALS.

King Princess
Like the name suggests, King Princess (AKA Mikaela Straus) makes music that plays with gender and artfully subverts the status quo of mainstream pop. In February the 19-year-old genderqueer singer/songwriter and producer dropped her debut single “1950,” a song inspired by the lesbian love story in Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt (which was recently adapted into the film Carol). With more than 108 million Spotify streams, “1950” is one of the biggest pop hits of the year, and for good reason—it’s an update on the old-school torch song, and finds Straus (who played every instrument on the track herself) struggling to hold back the levees against her surging desire and devotion. Straus released her debut EP Make My Bed in June, and between her falsetto delivery of the bedroom jam “Holy” and the combustible catharsis of “Talia” (a heartbroken sequel to “1950”), it’s proof that the greatness of her breakthrough single wasn’t an isolated incident.

PDX Pop Now!
With other Portland-area summer music festivals taking some time off, PDX Pop Now! is more important than ever. The city’s beloved free, all-ages music festival is celebrating its 15th year with a full-weekend of live music spread across two stages under the Hawthorne Bridge. With a diverse range of rising local talent sharing the spotlight with longtime Portland favorites, and food carts, vendors, and a beer garden to keep you occupied between sets, the latest installment of the annual summer tradition is as unmissable as ever.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Every once in a while, the Hollywood Theatre busts out a shockingly pristine 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey—and for cinephiles, seeing Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece on the big screen, sitting in a sold-out and awed audience, is about as good as moviegoing gets. Now the Hollywood is showing 2001 again, but this time with a brand new print—one that’s been photochemically restored by none other than celluloid fanatic Christopher Nolan, who’ll start pontificating about how much better film is than digital given the slightest provocation. (Seriously. Across the pond, his ears probably just pricked up, somehow knowing we mentioned it.) Rather than discuss the extensive restoration process, Nolan’s using this spruced-up 2001 to remind people how much better movies can look when projected from actual film. “[The restoration discussion] tends to obfuscate the greater truth, which is that photochemical is a much higher-quality image format,” Nolan recently told Variety. “Showing people prints in the cinema is the way you best make that point, and if you could choose one movie to try to show that to people, it would be 2001.” ERIK HENRIKSEN

Vice Device, Martin Bisi, Vibrissae
Martin Bisi's one of those important figures whose name you should know, but probably don't—unless you scrutinize the credits of records by cult musicians like Swans, John Zorn, Boredoms, and Material. (He's also worked with bigger acts like Sonic Youth, Dresden Dolls, and Helmet, and recorded Herbie Hancock's paradigm-shifting hit "Rockit.") The man's a production wizard and a canny musician himself. DAVE SEGAL

Poison Idea, The Accused A.D., Dog Soldier
There are few Portland bands as influential as Poison Idea. Since forming in the early ’80s, they’ve toured the realms of punk rock, hardcore, and heavy metal, and this year, they’re celebrating the 30th anniversary of their pivotal record Feel the Darkness. It’ll be the band’s first local show in a while, and they’ll commemorate the occasion by playing Feel the Darkness in its entirety and re-releasing it as a remastered double album including band outtakes, bonus tracks, and more previously unreleased material. With the Accused A.D. and Dog Soldier opening the night, it’ll be quite the dirty 30. CERVANTE POPE

Father John Misty, Blitzen Trapper
Although singer/songwriter Josh Tillman's Father John Misty persona is really starting to wear on me, his 2018 record God's Favorite Customer is pretty dang good. Its first single, "Mr. Tillman," is sung from the perspective of a hotel concierge trying to deal with the former Fleet Fox while he has a breakdown. A few of the best lyrics: "Mr. Tillman, for the seventh time/We have no knowledge of a film that is being shot outside/Those aren't extras in a movie; they're our clientele/No, they aren't running lines and they aren't exactly thrilled." Hometown heroes Blitzen Trapper will open the outdoor show with songs from their 2017 album/stage production Wild and Reckless. CIARA DOLAN
