If your emo-adjacent playlist has been getting a workout lately, here's some news that'll make your week: The Maine are heading to San Francisco's Regency Ballroom, and there's a chance you won't have to pay a dime to be there.
The Phoenix-bred rock outfit — known for their hook-heavy anthems and a fanbase that has been riding with them since the MySpace era — are set to take the stage at one of the city's better mid-size venues. The Regency Ballroom, tucked in the Tenderloin-adjacent stretch of Van Ness, is the kind of room that actually sounds good and doesn't make you feel like a sardine, which in this city is worth celebrating on its own.
The show is shaping up to be a stacked night. Joining The Maine on the bill are Monaleo, Aries, and Carly Cosgrove — a genuinely eclectic lineup that suggests whoever booked this evening has range. Whether you're there for the rap, the indie pop, or the nostalgia-fueled rock, there's something on that bill for you.
As for the free ticket angle: keep your eyes open. Ticket giveaways for this show are floating around, so if you're the type who actually pays attention, you might walk away with a win.
Look, San Francisco's live music scene has taken its hits over the years — venues closing, costs climbing, the general grind of existing in this city. So when a solid show comes to a good room with a diverse lineup and a shot at free entry? You take it seriously.
Check the Regency Ballroom's calendar, follow the socials, and don't sleep on this one.
