Portland Live Music Venues for Every Type of Show

Portland are You Ready for the Return of Live Shows!?

Seeing and hearing live music is a sure-fire way to get back to feeling human again. Concerts can be life-affirming. They plug you into the environment and the present moment. They connect you to others through shared experience. 

When it comes to live music, Portland has venues to match any vibe you’re after--from dive bars to five stars. 

Looking for an outdoor concert on a summer evening? Only 20 minutes from downtown Portland is the historic destination resort Edgefield, offering 74 acres of entertainment and amusement. Set on a sloping lawn surrounded by trees, Edgefield is the place for summer concerts – every seat is a good seat. 

If you prefer a more intimate experience, Mississippi Studios will feel like home to you, and you can cap off the night with a delicious burger from adjoining Bar Bar. Something jazzy? Nothing beats the moody romantic vibes of The 1905. Or perhaps you’re looking to let loose and dance the night away? Head over to Goodfoot where you can get down to funk, soul and hip hop in their underground dance hall. 

Here are some more favorite local venues spearheading the return to live music as restrictions lift summer of 2021. You can also check out Vibemap's full list of events here.
