Look, San Francisco doesn't always make it easy to enjoy yourself without dropping a small fortune — between $18 cocktails and the sheer audacity of Ticketmaster fees, going out to see live music has quietly become a luxury activity. So when free concert tickets land on the table, we're going to tell you about it.

We've got tickets to give away to some genuinely solid shows coming through the city — and the lineup is actually worth your time.

Wallice brings her sharp, self-aware indie pop that's equal parts catchy and cutting. If you haven't heard her yet, fix that before the show. skaiwater rounds out the alternative end of things with a sound that hits harder live than on record.

On the heavier, weirder side of the dial, HEALTH continues to be one of the most interesting noise-industrial acts working today — their live show is legitimately intense in the best possible way. And Carpenter Brut, the French synthwave maestro who makes music that sounds like a horror film set in a neon-lit 1986, is exactly the kind of act that reminds you why live music exists.

This is the rare giveaway that doesn't feel like a consolation prize. Four artists, four very different sounds, all worth your Tuesday night or weekend or whenever they're playing.

To enter, follow The Dissent on Instagram and drop a comment telling us which show you want in on. We'll pick winners and reach out directly — no sketchy third-party form, no selling your email to a festival sponsor.

SF has great bones as a music city. Sometimes you just need someone to help you actually afford to enjoy it.
