"BottleRock, the Napa Valley festival with Foo Fighters, Backstreet Boys, Lorde, Sombr, Lil Wayne and Teddy Swims, is sold out. But the Napa Valley festival has two dozen After Dark concerts at venues in all corners of the Bay Area, each featuring an artist from its vast, intergenerational lineup. A few highlights: Ludacris headlines the Graton Resort in Rohnert Park on May 23, and synth-pop veterans Cut Copy take the stage at Berkeley's UC Theatre on May 21."
"For those looking to get to know the Bay Area's independent music scene, the Total Accord Festival is a roadmap to the region's homegrown artists, storied nightclubs and eclectic dives. Local talent agency Total Accord takes over San Francisco clubs starting June 3 at the Bottom of the Hill with local rockers For Horses. On June 7, electronic pop band The Seshen performs with experimental singer-songwriter Aroma at the Richmond District's classic 4 Star Theatre."
"Each show costs less than $30, and a few of them are free. Conga-forward dance-pop duo Brijean headlines the Rickshaw Stop on June 11, and R&B singer Elujay, rapper Lovey and Family Not a Group vocalist SundaY perform at The Independent on June 13. (The evening will features a drag show and premiere of Total Accord's documentary.)"
"Each summer, nearly 10,000 music fans fill the sloping, eucalyptus-lined hillside of Sigmund Stern Grove every Sunday for free live music. The concert series, now in its 89th year, gets underway on June 14 with Indian rock band Peter Cat Recording Co., followed by Colombian electro-pop outfit Bomba Estéreo on June 21. Dancehall-inspired EDM trio Major Lazer arrives with support from Richmond rapper Fijiana on July 5."
BottleRock in Napa Valley is sold out, but the region still offers many live-music opportunities through After Dark concerts at Bay Area venues. After Dark includes performances by artists such as Ludacris at Graton Resort in Rohnert Park on May 23, Cut Copy at UC Theatre in Berkeley on May 21, and Larkin Poe at Guild Theatre in Menlo Park on May 22. LCD Soundsystem’s May 22 After Dark show at Napa Music Hall is also sold out. For discovering the independent music scene, the Total Accord Festival runs from June 3 onward across San Francisco clubs, featuring acts like For Horses, The Seshen, Brijean, Elujay, Lovey, and SundaY. Many shows cost under $30, with some free. Free Sunday concerts at Sigmund Stern Grove draw nearly 10,000 fans and run through summer, starting June 14 with Peter Cat Recording Co. and continuing with Bomba Estéreo, Major Lazer, Public Enemy, and Al Green.
