Garth Brooks at Climate Pledge Arena
Fri, Nov 13, 8:00 PM · Climate Pledge Arena · from $72
One of the best-selling solo artists in American history, Brooks brings his arena country show to Climate Pledge on Friday night. Expect a big, crowd-driven evening built around the hits and the sing-along energy that has defined his stadium-level tours.
World Ballet Company: Swan Lake at the Paramount
Fri, Nov 13, 7:00 PM · Paramount Theatre – Seattle · from $116
Tchaikovsky’s ballet is one of the most recognizable works in the repertoire, and the Paramount’s historic auditorium suits a full-length story staged this way. It is a good pick if you want a classical evening that feels like a proper night out.
Seattle Symphony: Tchaikovsky’s First Piano & Zarathustra
Sat, Nov 14, 8:00 PM · Benaroya Hall – S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium · from $73
The Seattle Symphony pairs Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra at Benaroya Hall on Saturday. It is a bold program of late-Romantic showpieces, and the hall’s acoustics make it a strong choice for a first-time classical listener.
GorillaT at The Showbox
Sat, Nov 14, 9:00 PM · The Showbox · from $54
GorillaT brings techno to The Showbox on Saturday night, a historic downtown room that gives the set a fuller sound than a club. It is a good way to end the weekend if you want to dance rather than sit.
The Polish Ambassador at Nectar Lounge
Fri, Nov 13, 8:00 PM · Nectar Lounge · from $27
The Polish Ambassador plays alternative rock at Nectar Lounge on Friday, in a small Fremont room that keeps the crowd close to the stage. It suits anyone who would rather hear a band up close than watch from the back of an arena.
Seattle Showcase at Cannonball Arts Center
Sat, Nov 14, 9:00 PM · Level 1 at Cannonball Arts Center · from $35
A local bill featuring Adrian Mills, Leah York, Serafina and Zwilling gives you a sample of the city’s current songwriting. Shows like this often turn into the best surprise of a weekend, and the Cannonball room keeps the evening intimate.
Candlelight: Tribute to The Beatles at the National Nordic Museum
Sun, Nov 15, 6:15 PM · The National Nordic Museum · from $111
A candlelit string tribute to The Beatles on Sunday evening at the National Nordic Museum makes for a quieter close to the weekend. The setting is calm and the catalogue is familiar, which makes it an easy choice for a mixed group.
Brett Goldstein at Moore Theatre
Fri, Nov 13, 7:00 PM · Moore Theatre – WA · from $116
The Ted Lasso actor and writer brings his stand-up to the Moore Theatre on Friday night. Expect a sharp, conversational set in a historic theatre that suits a comedy crowd.
Aerea at Substation
Sat, Nov 14, 10:00 PM · Substation – Seattle · from $15
Aerea plays techno at Substation on Saturday, one of the city’s dependable club rooms for electronic music. It is a practical pick for a late night after an earlier concert.
Check dates and times on the listing pages before you head out, and book early for Garth Brooks and Swan Lake, which are likely to sell fastest.
